        "question": "How do I get to Dubai Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Dubai International Airport (DXB) is just 5 km east of the city center, so a taxi or ride‑share (Uber, Careem, Bolt) is the fastest and most popular option, taking about 10–15 minutes without traffic. The Dubai Metro Red Line runs directly to Terminals 1 and 3 from stations across the city and is the most affordable public transit choice, though you may need a feeder bus or taxi from your hotel. Several RTA public buses also serve the airport, but they are slower and less convenient than the metro. Driving and parking are possible with short‑ and long‑term lots at each terminal, but parking fees and traffic can make this less attractive for most travelers.",
