How to reach IMG Worlds of Adventure, Dubai
IMG Worlds of Adventure is located in the City of Arabia area near Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311), roughly between Dubai and Dubai Parks and Resorts. Getting there is straightforward whether you’re using taxi, rideshare, car, public transport, or arranged transfer.
By taxi or rideshare (fastest, easiest)
Taxis and rideshares (Careem, Uber) are the quickest door-to-door option. Tell the driver “IMG Worlds of Adventure” or use the park name in your rideshare app - the entrance is well-known to drivers. From central Dubai (Downtown/Bur Dubai/Marina) expect 20-40 minutes depending on traffic; from Dubai International Airport it’s about 25-35 minutes. Tip: if you’re on a budget, request a regular taxi rather than a premium car.
By car (flexible, good for groups)
If you rent a car, navigate to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) and follow signs to City of Arabia / IMG Worlds. The park has ample paid parking. Allow extra time for weekend traffic or events. Opening the park’s official location in your maps app helps avoid confusion with nearby attractions.
By public transport (cheapest, requires transfers)
There’s no direct metro station at the park, but you can combine metro + bus:
Metro + Bus: Take the Red Line metro to either UAE Exchange (formerly Jebel Ali) or DAMAC Properties depending on your starting point, then transfer to a Dubai Bus that serves City of Arabia/IMG area (check RTA route updates). Buses that stop near City of Arabia change occasionally—use the RTA Journey Planner or Google Maps live transit layer on the day of travel.
Metro + Taxi: A convenient compromise is to take the metro to a nearby major station (e.g., Mall of the Emirates or Ibn Battuta) then hop a short taxi ride (10–20 minutes) to IMG Worlds.
Shuttle or hotel transfer (most convenient for tourists) Many hotels and tour operators offer paid shuttle services to major attractions. Check your hotel concierge or booking platform for IMG Worlds shuttle options — these are convenient if you want predictable pickup/drop-off times and avoid parking.
From Dubai Airport (DXB) Taxi/rideshare is the simplest ~25-35 minutes. If using public transport, take the Red Line metro to a nearby transfer station, then continue by bus or short taxi. Allow luggage-friendly time and check metro/bus schedules early in the morning or late at night.
From Abu Dhabi By car or taxi the trip takes about 45-75 minutes depending on traffic. There are also private transfer services and tour operators that run day trips from Abu Dhabi to IMG Worlds.
Practical tips

Allow buffer time: Arrive 30–45 minutes before your planned entry time for parking, ticket scanning, and security.
Share exact entrance: The park has large signage; give drivers the full name “IMG Worlds of Adventure” to avoid being dropped at adjacent developments.
Combine with nearby stops: If you have a car, combine the visit with Dubai Parks & Resorts or Mall of the Emirates for a full day out.
Off-peak travel: Weekdays and early mornings have lighter traffic and easier parking.
Accessibility: The park is wheelchair-accessible; taxis and hotel shuttles can be booked with accessibility options if needed.
