How to get around in Dubai 🇦🇪

I wouldn‘t consider Dubai a walkable city, so knowing how to get around is key. Here is a comparison of options to get around in Dubai.

✨ METRO

Dubai has a well working metro system, which is also very affordable. However, the metro is usually quite busy and crowded. If you would like to have more comfortable seats and more space, then you would need to purchase a gold ticket, which gives you access to gold class cabin. It should be noted that it‘s not possible to reach all places in Dubai via metro.

💰Price: one standard ticket - 1-2€

✨ UBER

Uber works very well in Dubai and is therefore a convenient way of getting around. Compared to taxi prices, uber is slightly more expensive. If you‘re going long distances and there is lots of traffic, then uber might be cheaper due to the flatrate it offers.

💰Price: 20 min ride - 10€

✨ CAREEM

Careem is the local version of uber and is very similar to uber. It works well and the price point is similar, too.

✨ TAXI

If you need a ride for shorter distances, then taxis will be the best value for money. If you‘re a solo female traveller and you might feel uncomfortable being along with a male driver, then look out for taxis with a pink roof. Those are driven by women.

💰Price: 10 min ride - 5€
