Dubai/Jumeirah

Within Jumeirah you'll find most of the tourist attractions that modern Dubai has to offer. Nonetheless the majority of its territory consists of residential and commercial areas.

By metro
Jumeirah is connected with the rest of the city via the Red Line of the Dubai Metro, the Dubai Tram, and a network of roads.

By public transport
Buses, the metro, the tram and the Palm Jumeirah Monorail are the easiest modes of getting around and can all be used with the Nol Card.

By bicycle
The cycling infrastructure is surprisingly good in Jumeirah. Many major roads have a separate bike lane. Plenty of bicycle rental stations are scattered around Jumeirah and it is particularly easy to find one near the beaches.

On foot
Feasible, but the distances in between sights tend to be large.

By car
Traffic can be intense and thus it is advisable to use public transportation.
