Hey everybody, I've been lurking around these forums in preperation for my upcoming trip to Dubai (9/24-9/28) and I just wanted to say that all of you seem to be an awesome community and thanks to all the people who are there to help.
I'm trying to find the cheapest but safest way to go from the Dubai Int'l Airport to Bab Al Shams. It'll be my first time in Dubai (I speak english fluently, but no Arabic) and I'll be arriving late at night (11 p.m.) Would it be better to arrange with the hotel to send a driver (I was quoted 200 Dhms) or would it be cheaper (but equally safe) to take a taxi from the taxi stand? Since I've never been to Dubai, I would be worried about getting ripped off by the driver and wary of my safety. Does 200Dhms sound about right to a trip to Bab
By the way, Bab Al Shams is located near the Dubai International Endurance City, just 45 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 57 km from Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Madinat Jumeirah and is accessible by a dedicated road network. Thanks for any advice you can give!
