Taxis are everywhere - go outside, glance at the road and a car immediately stops, you don’t even need to look for it.

No one in the UAE chooses a long way there just to take more money from you! They have no concept of cheating. Because in the morning he cheated and in the evening he can be in jail! It is here that foreigners from Rovno can be brought to Lviv through Kyiv. Everything is very correct and honest! If only we had such laws for a year!

DED_IGO That's how the roads are built. Sometimes you need to make a big detour to get to the junction and arrive where you can walk.

Maybe you have already read - in Dubai taxis are all the same - Toyota Kemry sand color. The roof can be of any color - red, yellow, blue, etc. These are government taxis. There are also white Lexuses, usually taxis from hotels. They are significantly more expensive.

To the question of deceit. It’s good that Gloriua didn’t meet with him, but this doesn’t mean that he isn’t there. The hotel is located 15 dirhams from Dubai Mall, but for some reason, once, we paid 25 for the return trip. I repeat, once, i.e. we repeatedly drove back by the same short road. Perhaps the taxi driver simply did not know how to drive directly, but it is hard to believe in it. you can’t do anything. Taxi drivers are mostly Indians, they don’t speak well and understand English poorly.

And my advice to you: in Dubai in the afternoon there are big traffic jams, if you are going to Deira, take a taxi to the metro. It will be both faster and cheaper.

Taxi drivers are Indians, they value their work very much, they will not cheat. But it may well be that you got lost) There may also be a different amount on the counter when landing, if you take a taxi in different places. In the basement of the Dubai Mall, there is always more on the counter than taking a car on the street. But there (in the basement) it is much more convenient - there is a continuous stream of taxis.
knifinni Yes? I did not see.

Not everywhere. We have been trying to catch a taxi from the Burj Al Arab (Sail) hotel for a long time, all the cars are busy and busy. They say at the stops (in the booths themselves) there is a button for calling a taxi, I have not seen it.

Taxi drivers, like everywhere else, come across different. We only traveled by taxi. Yes, a couple of times they did not take the shortest route. Or they pretend that they don’t really understand where and start circling for a long time. They also like to drive up to the same mall from different directions, but bypassing it is a normal piece of road, respectively, the price. In short, take a business card of the hotel with you. It has a mini map and the address of the hotel. There are no problems with a taxi at all, a minute from the hotel to the embankment road.

We were also warned that the minimum trip was 10 dirhams, but always when there was less on the counter, we were given a task.

10 dirhams - the minimum amount payable despite the much smaller real distance, which I traveled and could pay half the price ...

It is customary for them to tip taxi drivers. I usually press 10%

So this is a completely different emirate, it has its own rules and laws. We are talking about Dubai.

You are just unlucky because Dubai taxi drivers when they took us to another emirate gave change and when they returned from the formula from Abu Dhabi they also gave change.

Perhaps it matters which road you take, (there are toll roads and free ones) along Jumeirah or along Sheikh Zayed Road, because. Sheikh Zayed Road is a toll road, there are saleks who read the fare from each car, I don’t remember exactly how much, it seems 4 dx each.

On Sheikh Zayed Road, only 2 salek, each passed, click, it's already 8 dh. I know that Sharjah taxi drivers, when they take you to Dubai, will not be able to take passengers from Dubai to Sharjah on the way back, so as not to go empty. There really are their own rules between the emirates. From Dubai to Sharjah, only a Dubai taxi is lucky.
