Save in Dubai on Transportation
While taxis are a popular choice among tourists in Dubai, the city also offers an efficient and budget-friendly public transportation system. The Dubai Metro, for instance, serves as both a means of transportation and an attraction. Most of its routes are above ground, and all its trains are driverless. Riding in the first car can even make you feel like the train’s conductor. The Red and Green Metro lines cover the entire city, from Dubai International Airport (DXB) to its bustling neighborhoods.
To use the metro, purchase a Nol Card (multi-use pass) or a single-ride ticket at the station kiosk.
Another economical and convenient way to get around the city is by bus. Bus stops are conveniently located at Dubai International Airport terminals, and the routes cover all major city areas. Buses run every 30 minutes and operate 24/7. Be sure to buy a Nol Card in advance, as bus drivers do not accept cash.
Visitors to Dubai can also take a ferry ride along the Dubai coastline with stops at key city attractions in the Business Bay and Dubai Marina areas. Ferries depart from Al Jadaf station daily at 10:00, 12:00, and 17:30, with fares starting at 15 dirhams.
