Dubai is regarded as one of the most progressive cities
of the world. Transportation in Dubai has developed
in sync with the growth in living standards.
In Dubai, local transport is a fine blend of the ultramodern and the traditional.
The continued use of means like camels and abras (small
motorboats) indicates that the culture
of Dubai has not really been affected by the progression
in outlook.
The easiest mode of reaching Dubai is by air. Numerous
flights fly in and out of the Dubai
International Airport on a daily basis. Almost every
major international airline operates its flights in
Dubai. There are direct flights to Dubai from most European
and Asian countries.
Air transportation in Dubai has been made easier as the Dubai International
Airport, considered to be one of the best airports of
the world, is increasingly becoming the main stopover
between the two continents.

Arab Emirates. Gulf Air is another airline that dominates
air travel in Dubai. Middle East Hub offers flight

When in Dubai, transportation depends on local services
like buses, taxis and boats. From the airport, you can
select to travel in the buses run by the municipality
or the airport shuttle service.
Bus services in Dubai are mainly operated out
of two stations in Deira and Bur Dubai. Dubai's main
bus station is located on Al Ghubaiba Road. Buses bear
the numbers and route names in English as well as Arabic,
making it easily comprehendible for local and international
tourists.
Abra services in Dubai are very commonly used by tourists.
Firstly, it gives you the chance of traversing the fascinating
Dubai Creek,
and secondly, you get to enjoy a ride in an abra, an
integral component of the history
of Dubai. On a single day, the creek's waters witness
passage of more than 150 abras. The two main routes
are between abra stations of Bur Dubai and Deira Old
Souk, and, Dubai Old Souk and Sabakha.
Taxi services in Dubai are mostly used by tourists. Easily available and very
well networked, these taxis are usually driven by professional
drivers-cum-guides, who are more than willing to show
you around. Most of these taxis are owned by the Dubai
Transport Company.
 The
fun of using local transportation in Dubai will be considered
incomplete without Dubai
bicycle rentals. A city with numerous marvels of
architecture and bounteous natural splendor deserves
to be explored with patience and fascination. So, discount
the time factor on this tour
of Dubai, hire a bicycle and go cycling around town.
