Late arrivals at DWC need a plan, because the airport's pages publish little about night services.
What the airport publishes
The airport's bus page lists line F55 to EXPO Metro Station and line N55 to the Ibn Battuta bus and metro stations, each running every 30 minutes. It gives no first or last departure, so we cannot tell you when the last bus leaves. The taxi page states a starting fare of AED 25 from the airport and does not publish taxi operating hours.

What is not published
We found no official night timetable for the buses and no statement on how many taxis wait at night. The name N55 might suggest a night line, but the airport page does not say so and we could not verify it, so do not assume that it runs after a late landing. Check the current timetable for your date before you rely on any bus. The airport website also has a metro page that we did not read, so we say nothing about the metro at night.
Taxis at night
The taxi page tells you to follow the official taxi stands at the terminals or to ask the staff. The starting fare is AED 25; the rest of the fare follows the metre, and the airport page refers to the official taxi operator's website for the metre rates without giving figures. We found no information about a night supplement, so we do not mention one. Confirm how the fare works before you get in.
Pre-booked transfers
A pre-booked transfer is arranged before you fly. Give your flight number and address at booking, and check your booking confirmation for where to meet and how delays are handled. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the driver meets you as stated there. The live price to Dubai Marina is from EUR 38. Use the quote tool on this page for other destinations.
The bottom line
At night, choose the arrangement you confirmed in advance over one you hope will be available. Keep your phone charged and your address saved.
