Travelers need to consider using the metro, buses, taxis, or rental cars to move around Dubai. The Dubai Metro is a top-rated option as it connects major attractions and is affordable, costing around AED 7 per ride. Taxis are also widely available and reasonably priced. Rental cars are convenient, especially for those who prefer to explore the city at their leisure, but can be expensive. A round-trip taxi ride from Dubai International Airport to Dubai Mall costs around AED 100 and takes 15 minutes.
Travelers with more time can consider visiting other famous attractions in Dubai such as the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Miracle Garden, and the Dubai Miracle Garden. Those with less time can skip the Dubai Aquarium and the Dubai Ice Rink at Dubai Mall.
