My Advice
  • From Dubai airport to downtown, the taxi fare is 16D (3.4EUR) for pick-up, followed by 1.17D per kilometer; meanwhile, it is 3D for pick-up (3.5D from 10.00pm to 6.00am) in the city. (see also Dubai Transport Corporation)
  • It would be better to take a taxi in order to avoid midday sun even if you move at a short distance. Or I suggest using a half day Dubai city bus tour.
  • The Desert Safari tour cost you quite different price depends on the travel agents in spite of same itinerary. The tour desk of first-class hotels are very convenient; however, if you apply this tour at travel agents in the city, you will pay only 160D (34EUR).
