You'll be able to enjoy your cheap holidays to Dubai with the help of some of the city's cost-effective transport modes. Among them are the air-conditioned buses that can be seen moving around the city. There are more than a thousand of them in this part of the world and allow you to travel like a resident. You can also choose to travel in an open-top bus that travels to the main tourist spots in the city. Another great way to explore the city is by renting a bicycle from the BYKY station. If you're an adventure enthusiast and wish to go biking on the mountainous terrain of Hatta, hire a bicycle of your choice from TREK Bikes.

If you wish to rent a car, you'll need an international driver's license, third-party insurance, passport, and a credit card. Once you're out on the road, you can also drive out to the mountain town of Hatta.

You can stop a taxi anywhere in Dubai, no matter what time of the day or night it is. The taxi fares in Dubai are quite reasonable, but the fare per kilometre would depend greatly on factors like tolls and the time of the day.
