On the coast of the United Arab Emirates lies a city filled with numerous adventures just waiting for your arrival. In Dubai, there is something there for everyone. For those interested in viewing beautiful coastal scenery, experience one-of-a-kind attractions, and explore the unique nightlife, Dubai has a lot to offer for everyone. The city encompasses more than 1,500 square miles of land bordering the Persian Gulf, which can be explored by a variety of transit options. Below, we have compiled a list of some of the greatest ways to explore this unique city so that you can enjoy it at your own speed!

1. Rent a Car

Renting a car will provide you with the ultimate freedom to explore every inch of Dubai on your own time. There are so many things to see and you will have the ability to do what you please throughout your entire trip.

While this option provides you with a chance to create a flexible schedule on your trip, there are some things you must know before you get behind the wheel:

• In order to operate a vehicle in Dubai as a visitor, you must obtain an international license and undergo whatever background checks the rental station may require from you.
• Additionally, you will need to carry your passport or a copy of it everywhere. This will be the identification you always need while in the car. Remember though it is important to always have a copy on you while travelling anyway.

There are some clear benefits to renting a car while in Dubai. However, there are some noticeable drawbacks. If you are especially excited to experience the nightlife that the city has to offer, then this may not be the choice for you.

Drunk driving in Dubai is a serious offence and can cost you dearly. So, if you are interested in going out and enjoying yourself, do so safely. Try and take advantage of some of the other options listed below.

2. Public Transit

Lucky for those who wish to party their way through the city, there are numerous public transit options available to you! Dubai has a set of highly modernized railways and metro trains that will take you anywhere you might want to go at affordable rates.

If you have any concerns about operating a vehicle or navigating Dubai on your own, this is a great option for you. You will still have an opportunity to see the top sites throughout the city alongside other international travellers!

3. Boat Tours

Because Dubai is located directly on the coast of the Persian Gulf, the views from the water are outstanding! Boating was once the city’s most traditional mode of transportation. It has since turned into a perfect form of transit for tourists to see the city in a completely different way than normal commuting.

Whether you travel by water taxi or splurge and rent a private yacht, the views from the water are unlike anywhere else. You will love the time spent journeying through the city.

4. Biking

For the more athletic adventurers, there is ample opportunity to bike your way through the city.

Dubai is a city that is continuously growing in popularity, and as a result bike paths are popping up everywhere throughout the city. This makes many of the destinations in Dubai accessible to those on two-wheels.

Be warned that while Dubai does have flat terrain, there are more rugged and mountainous trails that should not be traversed by inexperienced individuals. Now that bikes are growing in popularity, there are rental stations located all around the city for your convenience.
