If you are coming to Dubai on business, you are very likely to visit one of numerous exhibitions that take place at Dubai World Trade Centre<\/a> \u00a0one day. Especially with large trade shows it can get very busy there in terms of traffic, so unless you don\u2019t have a problem with taking a metro, I highly advise you to book one of the hotels within the walking distance. Since all nearby hotels raise the prices up to 50% of usual rates, Ibis One Central is one of the reasonable options to choose.<\/p>\n

Location<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There are actually two Ibis hotels near World Trade Centre: the older one is just a few steps away from the courtyard fountain, and the new Ibis One Central is a bit further, around the corner in Emirates Towers\u2019 direction. Do yourself a favor and approach the exhibition area from behind \u2013 when you step outside the hotel, go left instead of right, because it is much closer and usually there are registration counters on both entrances.<\/p>\n

The taxi from the airport will cost you about 50 Dhs and the return ride is about 30 Dhs, because of lower starting rate. The metro station is about 2 minutes\u2019 walk away. (European walk I mean \ud83d\ude1b ) I didn\u2019t have much time to check the hotel surroundings, however I believe you have to reach all major locations (like malls or other \u201cattractions\u201d) by public transport. I am not sure if anything is within walking distance.<\/p>\n
