🛑 Getting Around:
♦️ Rent a Car
- My chosen mode of transportation!
- Dubai roads can be tricky with many lanes, so use Google Maps carefully. Speed limits are high (120km/h+), so stay alert!
- Book your rental car in advance through Hertz (located at the airport). You'll need an international driver's license and your regular license.
♦️ Public Transportation (Metro, Bus, Taxi)
- Dubai has a fantastic and well-developed public transportation system. Plenty of options!
🛑 Food Scene:
- Dubai cuisine has strong Middle Eastern flavors that might take some getting used to.
