How does public transportation operate in Dubai?
Public transportation in Dubai is a model of efficiency and modernity. The Dubai Metro is an automated, driverless system that covers the main areas of the city. I often used the metro, enjoying fast and comfortable rides. The carriages are clean, air-conditioned, and some offer beautiful city views. Buses and trams complement the metro network, providing access even to remote areas. Fares are paid using the Nol Card, which can be easily topped up at machines at stations. For a more scenic route, try the water taxi or an abra, a traditional wooden boat that will transport you across Dubai Creek in just a few minutes.

Despite its futuristic appearance, Dubai cherishes its history. The Dubai Museum, located in the ancient fort of Al Fahidi, offers a journey through time. Descending into the cool underground halls, you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the old city with its markets, houses and crafts. I was particularly impressed by the interactive expositions where you can learn about pearl mining, once the main fishery of the region. For art lovers, the Alsercal Avenue area has become a real discovery. Modern art galleries, cafes and studios are hidden among the converted warehouses. Here I met artists from all over the world, discussing art over a cup of strong Arabic coffee.

Go to question pageDubai is a city of contrasts, and each of its districts has a special character. Dubai Marina is a modern oasis with skyscrapers, yachts and a promenade ideal for evening walks. Here I felt like I was in the center of a cosmopolitan world where cultures and languages meet. Deira is the opposite of Marina, an old shopping district with narrow streets and markets. Wandering through the gold market, I was amazed at the brilliance and abundance of jewelry, and at the spice market, the aromas of cinnamon, saffron and cardamom turned my head. Al Fahidi is a historic district with traditional architecture, where you can feel the spirit of old Dubai. Walking through its quiet streets, I found art galleries, museums and cozy courtyards with fountains.
