Dubai Map with distances - price taxi rides Apr 11, 2007
On request:

I made a map with point-to-point distances in km for the people who would like to know the prices of taxi rides or how far certain area's are apart from each other:

-> Dubai Map with distances

You can calculate taxi rides by multiplying the distance with 1.6 Dhs (add to the total 3 Dhs for the starting rate)

See -> the official Dubai Taxi site

Convert to other currencies -> Dirham currency converter

I think you should also make a map with general traffic levels :P
as a 3km ride could actually take you like an hour with the level of traffic in dubai these days :(

Thanks Tony,

It is nice to hear that the things I made are really used. Keeps me motivated to improve it....

Good idea MightyOne,

I have to think how to do this. I immediately thought about the big led sign boards above the Paris Peripheric that tell you how many minutes to the next 'Port' during traffic jams. Or the London traffic information that gives you the needed time to cross certain roads during rush hour.

Will let you know when I have something.... I might need some help from frequent 'traffic jam crawlers'; the people who daily do the Garhoud, Maktoum bridge etc, to find out the average duration at certain times of the day.
