Essential Travel Tips from My Experience

Navigation Apps

Google Maps and Waze work perfectly in Dubai. Download offline maps as backup. Set “City of Arabia” as your destination for most accurate routing.

Payment Methods

Taxis accept cash, cards, and digital payments. RTA buses require a Nol Card (available at metro stations). Keep small bills for parking meters.

Timing Your Journey

Friday mornings and evenings can be busier due to weekend traffic. Weekday mornings (8-10 AM) offer the quickest journey times.

Weather Considerations

Summer months (June-September) can be extremely hot. If walking from public transport, carry water and wear sun protection.

Planning Your Return Journey

The venue stays open until 10 PM most days, and the exit areas can get busy between 9-10 PM. Here’s what I’ve learned about return journeys:

Ride-Hailing

Pre-book your ride 30 minutes before you plan to leave. There’s a designated pickup area near the main entrance with clear signage.

Private Vehicle

Exit parking can take 10-15 minutes during peak departure times. Consider staying 30 minutes past closing to avoid the rush.

Public Transport

Last buses typically run until 11 PM. Check the RTA app for real-time schedules, especially on weekends when timings may vary.
