Travel Booking and insights on accommodation

• Navigating the city: To navigate through different locations of the city, we recommend you take the Dubai metro or book a private vehicle. You can also consider taking abras, and water taxis. 
• Accommodation: If you prefer to stay near the beach, you can consider booking accommodation at JBR or Marina. However, if you’re tight on a budget, you can book an AirBnb or a budget hotel in your preferred location.
