Taxi is run in Dubai by a corporation called Dubai Taxi Corporation. All legal taxis in Dubai have the cream-painted body, their roofs boasting different colors (green, blue, red, orange, yellow, pink and black). Getting to Atlantis from the airport is quite easy given that the Atlantis, The Palm is notable. How is that? When traveling in Dubai, your destination is determined by a nearby landmark. So that if you’re not sure of the exact location, you may need your host to guide the driver. But in this case, your destination itself is a landmark.
So, how do you get to Atlantis, The Palm from Dubai International Airport? At the airport as with other notable places such as major shopping malls in Dubai, there’re taxi ranks where you can get a taxi. At the airport, these ranks can be found at the airport’s Terminals (1, 2 and 3). To get to a rank, follow the signs to the official taxi rank (You may go to Terminal1).
If you can’t follow the signs, asking a member of the “May I Help You” team may help. There’re always taxis at the ranks waiting to serve you. There’s the AED 25 flat charge getting run in a taxi from the airport. Further, each kilometer you travel in the taxi will cost you AED 1.96. So, the total kilometers you covered times AED 1.96 plus AED 25 will be your total fare (total kilometers covered x AED 1.96 + AED 25). And your journey should take about 30 minutes, if the taxi were fast enough.
When you get into the taxi, tell the driver your destination. That’d be it. If you’re a woman and would have a problem being conveyed by a man, you may sit at the back seat or take the Ladies’ Taxi. You should learn more about Dubai taxi. It’s requisite.

First up, the Dubai Metro and Tram may serve as one means of transportation — even if they’re different types of trains serving different routes — in that you can transfer from one of them to the other and be charged the fare of one journey. This is significant in that Dubai’s fare is billed on the basis of zones you traveled on your journey.
On the transfer basis plus that the fare of the metro and the tram is inexpensive, using the metro and the tram to get to the Atlantis may be the most inexpensive way to get there. So, how do you get to Atlantis from Dubai International Airport by The Metro and The Tram?
You should note that you can also get to Atlantis from The Gateway via the taxi at a higher fare, although tourists say visiting the Atlantis by the Dubai monorail gives you a better view of the Palm Jumeirah island than the taxi does, in that the monorail is elevated.
