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
