Travel Information

If you do not have a car, you can move around in Dubai by taxi, metro, bus or by marine transport.

Metro

The metro opened on September 9th 2009 and currently has 10 stations open on the red line. Tickets are priced between DHS 1.80 to DHS 5.80; there are several ticketing methods available. The Metro also has a Gold Class for those looking to travel in comfort, leather seats and plush carpets make the journey even more enjoyable. The Metro operates from 6am-11pm, Saturday to Thursday, and from 2pm-midnight on Fridays and is a safe and easy way to get around Dubai. Buses are available outside the stations to take you to your destination.

Bus Service

Bus services are operated on a number of routes linking various residential and industrial areas with the two central business districts. Buses are equipped with point to point timetables that provide the waiting passengers with time schedules of the bus services passing through specific bus stops. There are also some Inter-Emirate buses for travel to other UAE cities. Passengers can also obtain bus timetables, fares and connecting services either from bus stops or by calling the toll free phone 800 9090.

Taxis

Another way of getting around Dubai is by taxi. Prices for taxis are very reasonable (the meter begins at DHS 3.50, which is approximately 57 pence, or 0.95 USD), and are charged by distance. It's usually fairly easy to catch a cab in the city, otherwise you can call (04) 2080808 and have one come and collect you.
