GETTING AROUND DUBAI:
Rideshare - In Dubai, Uber and Careem typically cost more than a taxi. The advantage is that Uber offers a flat rate, so if there's traffic and you're going a long distance, it can also be cheaper. In general, Careem is less expensive than Uber for shorter distances and Uber is less expensive for longer distances. You can also use Careem for ordering food and groceries!

Airport Transportations - We always recommend booking airport transfers through the hotel you are staying at.

Things to Note - Some restaurants may not have alcohol due to liquor license laws. We highly suggest stopping at Duty Free and stocking up in your hotel because drinking can also get expensive. There are plenty of restaurants and clubs that do serve alcohol, just don’t be taken back if you stumble upon one that doesn't.
