How far is Entebbe airport from Kampala?
EBB is about 40 km south of central Kampala, typically a 45-minute to 1.5-hour drive depending on traffic on the Kampala-Entebbe Expressway. The airport itself sits 4 km from Entebbe town centre on the Lake Victoria shoreline. Most international flights are scheduled at night to allow same-day onward connections.
Are there direct flights from Entebbe to Dubai?
Yes. Emirates and flydubai both fly EBB-DXB nonstop, and Uganda Airlines operates the route as well. Flight time is roughly 5 hours 30 minutes. Flightmussy's 12-month heatmap is useful here because pricing on this corridor swings sharply with Eid and end-of-year demand, and the cheapest week is rarely the one you'd expect.
