Driving in Dubai - All the Information You Need

Driving in Dubai - All the Information You Need
When considering travelling to a certain country for a holiday it is important to do your homework about finding as much information out as possible before your departure date. Even before your flight booking, after you have worked out your budget, you will definitely be considering how to get around while on holiday. A major part of your holiday is to take in all the sights and this requires transportation.

A holiday to Dubai would entail the following considerations. Public transport is somewhat limited in Dubai. There is a comprehensive bus network operated by the Dubai Municipality. Travelling by taxi is a better suggestion. Dubai has a taxi fleet of around 5,000, so it is pretty easy to flag one down or order one to come and pick you up wherever you are. Hiring a car is definitely the best option but a pricier one. To get the most out of your holiday to Dubai, hiring a car would allow visits to further away areas which are accessible by cars and 4x4 vehicles are even better. A list of car rental companies will be provided to you by your hotel or you can arrange for this even before by having your travel agent organize for a pick up at the airport. I would however suggest that you arrange for your vehicle to be waiting for you at your hotel as the traffic in Dubai can be a bit intimidating and after a long flight, traffic stress should be avoided at all costs.

If you have decided to hire a vehicle there is some more information which you need to know about such as conversion of your foreign license, traffic rules and more. The web is a great place to access all the information you need on driving in Dubai including break down services and emergency numbers.
