HELP! - Abu Dhabi to Dubai Mar 30, 2005
HI All, I need some help, I am arriving in Abu Dhabi on the 20th April at about 9.20pm and need to make my way down to Dubai.

Please can you advise me of any taxi or bus service that goes directly to Dubai. My only problem is that I have heard that the last bus goes at 9.30pm so I am going to miss this. Does anybody know of any good taxi service or can anybody recommend anything.

PLEEEEEEASE HELP ME!!!!! I was going to fly down but not only am I broke but theres no flights on that day either.

All help will be GREATLY appreciated...

Thanks
Zaheer

You can hop into anycab...just make sure they flag the meter. But sometimes they bring tourists on a longer route just to make a few more bucks.
If you want to be safe...you can look for a limousine cab. Yes..when I say limousine...its actually a normal sedan car that looks much like the usual cab..except they charge you a flat fare.
I tried one...from Sheraton Jumeirah (Dubai) all the way to the airport...80dhm flat fare. The meter will display 80dhm all the way.
They will only charge you the displayed price with no additionals.

Hope this help.
But yea...find a job first..then come.

There is a camel caravan that starts at Abu Dhabi airport at about 10.30 pm. Very cheap... only $1. Save your money for the hooker.
