Dubai Airports has advised passengers returning to the UAE after summer vacation to use the Dubai Metro, as the road through the airport could get busy during peak times. August 26 and 27 are expected to be the busiest days for the airport, with over half a million guests expected. The Dubai Metro runs frequently from DXB Terminals 1 and 3, with trains running from 5 AM to midnight on weekdays, and longer hours on special days. Passengers can buy tickets at counters in airport stations and can carry two pieces of luggage on the metro.
