Survival Tips & Hacks

Plan Your Transport

Dubai is spread out. Use the high-tech Metro for the Museum of the Future and Burj Khalifa, but take a taxi/Careem for the Burj Al Arab.

Dress the Part

Some landmarks and surrounding areas have modest dress codes. It's always best to carry a light pashmina or dress respectfully.
