• Getting Around Dubai
  
  For getting around Dubai there is a fairly good bus service, mini buses and taxis. Most people who are staying for some time make sure they have access to a vehicle, as there isn't a reliable public transport system beyond the city. Car hire is not too expensive, the roads are in good condition but the rules of the road are not always carefuly observed. Be very careful until you are used to it and be aware that roundabouts are particularly hazardous. as are wandering camels.
