Bookmark & shareGetting There
Abu Dhabi international airport (AUH) is on the mainland, about 30km (18.6mi) from the city centre. The main bus terminal is south of the city centre, but buses departing from it only travel to destinations within Abu Dhabi itself. Next to the main bus terminal, you'll find the minibus and long-distance taxi station, where you can get transport to Dubai, Sharjah and Al-Ain.
Getting Around
There's a round-the-clock bus connection to and from the city and the airport. Municipal buses run throughout Abu Dhabi. Fares are cheap, but the buses are difficult to use because they follow no fixed routes. Your best bet for transport within Abu Dhabi is to hire taxis or rent your own car (there are rental agencies in most of the top hotels).
