In 2025, Dubai ranked 29th among destinations abroad from the main German airports; 817,758 passengers boarded flights with Dubai as their final destination. The Red Line of the metro takes 24 minutes from Terminal 1 and 26 minutes from Terminal 3 to Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station. On the Creek, the Al Fahidi district with its wind towers shows how people lived in Dubai between the mid-19th century and the 1970s. From June to September the average daily maximum at the airport is 39.4 to 41.5 °C.
