7 GET AROUND DUBAI 7

8 GET AROUND DUBAI Metro Dubai s Metro was opened in September While the line does not serve the old city centre, it s handy for zipping along Dubai s Sheikh Zayed Road and includes stops at the airport, Burj Khalifa and the Mall of the Emirates. Single tickets range from 8.50 dhs and trains run every 3-5 minutes from 5:50am to Midnight every day except Thursday and Friday, when services are extended from 5:50am to 1:00am. Trains run every two minutes during morning and evening rush hour. Taxi Taxis are plentiful in Dubai and are safe and easy to spot. The easiest place to find them is at the taxi queue at one of the malls or outside a hotel. Waving down a taxi on the road is possible, but can be difficult during rush hours. Taxis are metered at 1.75 dhs/km, so no haggling is necessary. From the airport, there is a standing charge of 25 dhs; and a minimum fare of 10 dhs applies for all rides. Taxis are cheap and most rides around town should come to between dhs. Uber is also available in Dubai and provides another efficient transport option. 8
