Flying out of the UAE capital soon? There’s a shuttle service to take you from Dubai straight to Abu Dhabi Airport. The AUH Express transports passengers between Ibn Battuta bus station and the capital’s airport for a wallet-friendly Dhs35. Advanced booking is not required.
The coaches operate 24/7 on an hourly basis and are complete with passenger luggage facilities for those travelling with heavy baggage.
