Getting TO/AROUND: The most scenic way of getting across the Creek between Deira and Bur Dubai is by taking a ride on a traditional Abra (long boat). You just kind of jump on and off. Watch your step! Seating is on long benches. The cost is half a Dirham (about 15 cents US) and only takes about 5 minutes. Take your camera because you will get some of the best views of Dubai. Magic!
Please note: For Female travellers, please allow room between you and local men. They don't see many ladies on these boats and cultural modesty means they need to afford you extra space.

Getting TO/AROUND:
Are you breathing? Do you hold a Drivers Licence issued by ANY government on the face of the Earth? Congratulations! You can rent a car in Dubai! They glanced at mine from a distance. When you see how many locals drive (large, expensive) cars, you will understand why they are just not that picky about your Licence. Rent form local companies – not the big international names! I saved 50% and had a great car with Air-conditioning. You must have A/C. It’s the law – of nature.
Have a great time and be careful out there!

With inflation, cost of the abra has now doubled to 1 Dirham. Still a bargain, and the cheapest tourist attraction around. Watch the "pilots" steering the boat with their feet while collecting fare from the passengers. Quite a treat. | msbrandysue Wed Jun 27, 2007 19:51 UTC
