You step off the jet into the warm, dry air and the city already announces itself: glass towers glint, a stream of taxis threads past, and your driver holds a placard with your name. The 10‑mile (≈15 km) run from Dubai International Airport to central Dubai is short but revealing — a first glimpse of Sheikh Zayed Road slicing past the Burj Khalifa and palm‑lined service roads that shift quickly from airport infrastructure to high‑rise pulse.
