Dubai
Dubai draws private travellers for its mix of business, luxury retail and events, reached quickly from the Gulf and further afield with a longer but direct hop from Europe. From Doha, a Light Jet covers the 206 nm in about 0h 51m from €6,000 to €7,400 one way, while Riyadh is roughly 1h 28m to 1h 33m depending on aircraft, priced from €9,400 to €22,700 across Light, Midsize and Heavy categories. Longer range flights arrive from Europe, such as London's 7h 13m Heavy Jet routing at €79,800 to €109,100 one way. These flight times and price ranges make Dubai a practical private aviation destination for both regional hops and intercontinental travel.

Where jets land
How you arrive
- Dubai Al Maktoum●DWC · OMDW
- Dubai InternationalDXB · OMDB
Private flights to Dubai typically use Al Maktoum (DWC), the business aviation hub, which sits about 40 minutes from Downtown and Palm Jumeirah. Dubai International (DXB) is geographically closer to the city but offers fewer slots for private aircraft, making DWC the more common choice for charter arrivals. Travellers should plan the last mile into the city around that 40 minute transfer time from DWC when coordinating onward plans.
When to go
The best season to visit runs from October to April, when the weather is mild, with particular peaks around New Year and during major events. Travellers planning trips during these peak periods should book their private flights well ahead, as demand for slots at Dubai's business aviation hub rises accordingly.
