Ticket prices vary based on factors like the airline, travel class, and time of booking. However, the direct flights from Dubai (DXB) to Tehran (IKA) have prices ranging from 95.09 USD to 861.71 USD, depending on the airline and available seat options.

Taking a taxi is one of the most convenient ways to get from the airport to Tehran. There are three main types of taxis:

• Airport taxis: These taxis operate with fixed, government-approved fares, ensuring fair pricing.
• Online ride-hailing apps: Apps like Snapp and Tapsi offer an alternative to traditional taxis and often provide competitive rates.
• Regular street taxis: These are available outside the airport but may charge higher fares depending on demand and traffic.

While regular taxis might seem like an easy option, airport taxis are the most reliable choice as they operate with set fares.

For a stress-free arrival, you can book a private airport transfer in advance. A professional driver will meet you at the airport and take you directly to your destination in Tehran. This option is ideal if you prefer a smooth and hassle-free journey, especially if you are traveling with luggage or in a group.

Airport transfers are often booked online before arrival, ensuring a comfortable ride in a well-maintained vehicle with a reliable driver.

If you have a car or someone is picking you up, driving is an option. The two main routes to and from the airport are:

• Tehran-Qom Highway: This is the fastest and most direct route but can be busy during peak hours.
• Tehran-Saveh Highway: This route is less congested but takes slightly longer.
