Travel
AIR: A
daily flight now links Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Flights
can also be chartered and there are small landing
fields throughout the United Arab Emirates.
SEA: Commercial
and passenger services serve all coastal ports. A
water taxi travels between Dubai and Deira across
the creek.
ROAD: There
are good tarmac roads running along the west coast
between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Sharjah and Ras al
Khaimah; between Sharjah and Dhaid; and linking
Dubai with other Northern States and the interior.
Traffic drives on the right and the speed limit in
built-up areas is 60kph (38mph) and 80-100kph
(50-63mph) elsewhere. Bus: Limited services
link most towns. However, most hotels run their own
scheduled bus services to the airport, city centre
and beach resorts. Taxi: Available in all
towns. In Abu Dhabi and Al-Ain, urban journey fares
are metered, whilst fares for longer journeys should
be agreed in advance. There is a surcharge for
air-conditioned taxis. Many travellers find taxis to
be the quickest and most convenient method of travel
from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. Car hire: Most
international car hire companies have offices at
airports or hotels. A passport and either a valid
international or national licence are necessary. Documentation:
An International Driving Permit is recommended,
although it is not legally required. A local driving
licence can be issued on presentation of a valid
national driving licence, two photos and a passport.
