Getting out of the airport in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi Mobility publishes the Airport Taxi tariff. Flagfall is AED 20.00, the same by day and by night, then AED 1.82 per kilometre and AED 0.50 per minute of waiting. A booking costs a further AED 4.00 by day and AED 5.00 at night. The authority defines day as 06:00 to 22:00 and night as 22:00 to 06:00.

For the return leg, a Silver Taxi picked up in the city starts at AED 5.00 by day and AED 5.50 at night, on the same AED 1.82 per kilometre rate, with a minimum trip fare of AED 12. The authority publishes no minimum fare for the Airport Taxi. The AED 20 flagfall applies on the way out of the airport, so the run back in is cheaper on the meter.

Bus A1 runs from the airport to Al Zahiyah Bus Station, calling at the Zayed International Airport Terminal A Arrival stop. Departures from the airport are half-hourly from 06:00, last bus 23:00, and the timetable is the same on weekdays and weekends. It is not a 24-hour route.

N2 is the night route on the same corridor to Al Zahiyah Bus Station. Airport departures run every 15 minutes from 23:15 through to 05:45, weekdays and weekends alike. If you land between midnight and 05:00, N2 is the bus.
