Reserve a Taxi

Dubai is famous to have readily available an affordable taxi service. Some areas like the Dubai Marina have taxis in the area that pedestrians can easily flag down. If you are in a residential compound, taxis can easily be ordered by calling and scheduling a pick-up.

Compared to other international cities taxis are affordable in Dubai. A standard flat fee of 10 dirhams is generally applied for most trips. To get from one end of the city to the other (for instance, going from Dubai Marina to Dubai Creek will cost you between 55 and 65 dirhams). Taxi is a preferable method of transportation if you are enjoying an evening out and plan to partake in any libations as Dubai has a zero tolerance policy on drinking and driving.
