Took the hop-on bus with my partner for our first day in Dubai. Honestly, didn’t want to deal with taxis or metro until we got our bearings. This was PERFECT. Sat up top, wind in my hair, even though it got a bit dusty (pro tip: bring sunglasses!!). Really liked that the map was super clear, but tbh, our headphones stopped working halfway so we just watched out the window. Got off at the Creek for the old market—felt like a totally different city. Buses were pretty regular but we did wait like 25 mins in the afternoon, so maybe plan for that. Would def recommend for anyone wanting a chill intro to the city.

Accessibility

The buses are wheelchair accessible.
