One day, I got a five minutes bus ride inside the Dubai Airport which was really nice. The temperature was really really skin burning but inside the bus was cool & calm. What I realized, The UAE government is trying to use modern technology in everywhere.

Thank you for this good information about the transportation on Dubai. I just want to add a new service in Dubai for booking taxi online.Booking a Taxi is simple and just a few clicks away at their website with a payment gateway supporting almost every payment method and their customer support has been excellent so far. The drivers were professional and the vehicles are in excellent condition. Have a look at their reviews for yourself.
