City advice
Getting around
take the metro up and down Dubai as it is mostly a strip
Once you take the metro closer to your destination and take a cab outside the metro stations when you reach. This way you can save more alone, however in a group people always use cabs as the cost isn’t as high as other cities in the world
Customs and culture
Public Drinking prohibited in UAE
In the uae you cannot drink and walk on the streets or outside any hotel, home. You can be fined heavily.
