David asks…

citymax hotel bur dubai and metro station?

i will be staying there at this hotel. one red line metro station is Al Karama located on walking distance from my hotel and also green line metro is Sayeeda and that is also located on walking distance but on a different street.

for example, if i want to reach my hotel destination from terminal 3 airport which is red line metro. will i have to get off at Al karama metro station and then walk?

will there be an announcement for al karama metro station inside the metro?

admin answers:

It is NOT …. Its about 2 KMs from either one and the temperature will be hot so not advisable if you have luggage with you.
The greenline does not come from the airport , you have to transfer from red line to green line for hotels in Bur Dubai area. (get off at Al Fahidi station @ Khalid bin al walid road)

Charles asks…

My question is about the Etihad shuttle from Abu Dhabi to Dubai and also especially the return trip.

Does it leave Abu Dhabi airport regularly? Also what is the service like returning Dubai to Abu Dhabi? I assume you have to get from your hotel to Eithad depot? How often does it leave and how long does the trip take? Our flight out is at 10.55 am, so don’t want to miss the flight! If we have to take a taxi, approximately what will it cost?

Michael asks…

Is metro an efficient and cheap way to explore dubai?

Im willing to use metro alot as a transport since it is cheaper. Can i make videos of most attractions from metro inside? for example, if al karama is located next to my hotel lets suppose if i want to visit palm jumerah beach i cant use this station since it is located on green line then I will go for Sayeeda station which is green line metro station. Is my UNDERSTANDING correct? I never used a metro in my life apart from at kaula lumpur airport but not city itself. but im going to try this option in dubai.

also, do these metro stations have maps for locations accessible from both red and green metros?
for me it is too much work write down locatio names accessible by each metro line and im going to fly out from my countryby early morning, tommorrow

admin answers:

It sounds you are mixing up between the Dubai metro and Palm Monorail. You can’t reach the Palm using Dubai metro as it runs along SZR not Jumeirah beach. The Palm Monorail is a completely separate thing and it is not part of Dubai metro . You have to take a taxi or bus to get on it , and it will take you thru the Palm to Atlantis & Aquaventure.
There is no station in Dubai called “Sayeeda” , so I have no idea what you mean by that even in the other question. Again it sounds you are mixed up because Al Karama station is on the red line … Sorry but don’t think ahead that much you will just confuse yourself with unfamiliar names, take it one step at a time.

2003 Dubai was voted the safest holiday destination in the world and it currently hosts more and more visitors and new residents year on year.

So whether you’re considering holidaying in this amazing city or moving to Dubai more permanently, you’ll find the Emirate offers both visitors and residents a wide and exciting range of attractions and entertainment opportunities.

In fact Dubai is a city of beautiful contrasts and breathtaking surprises.

It is surrounded by mysterious deserts, sand dunes and the stunning Hajar Mountains, it is divided by the Creek which is actually an inlet from the gulf splitting the commercial centre of Dubai in two, and within the city you’ll find amazing beach resorts, incredibly high tech buildings all side by side with old traditional houses and mosques…giving you a taster of just what variety you can expect from your time in Dubai.

If you’re a sport lover then you’ll find Dubai plays host to many first class events every year from the Desert Classic golf tournament to Rugby 7s to the Dubai World Cup. And if you prefer to participate in sporting activity there are plenty of opportunities for you to choose from.

From horse riding in the desert to jet skiing on the Creek, from swimming in the pools of any one of a myriad of first class beach resorts to joining in with expat football and rugby clubs for example. And then of course there are Dubai’s golf courses and clubs! Even if you’re not a golfer and have no intention of playing a round when in Dubai you have to visit a club. Firstly there are the amazing clubhouses and then of course the beautiful and immaculately tended greens – in the desert? Very impressive stuff!

If you prefer to get closer to nature than just admiring grass (!), you can visit the wildlife sanctuary near Garhoud Bridge where you’ll likely find thousands of migrating birds including Greater Flamingos, or you could consider walking in Creekside Park with its lovely landscaped gardens, or walking along the promenade on the Corniche towards Maktoum Bridge. Alternatively you could visit Dubai Zoo in Jumeirah where you’ll find many indigenous Arabian species, including the rare Arabian Wolf, which is sadly no longer found in the wild.

And when you want to sit down and relax there are a number of well tended lush public parks and gardens around Dubai where you can enjoy a stroll, a picnic or a play area.

Or if you want to venture a little further a field, the desert which provides the backdrop for the city also provides many fantastic opportunities for entertainment. From four wheel drive safaris to camel rides to romantic picnics in the desert under the stars

If you prefer not to travel so far you could consider hiring an abra in Dubai – this is a water taxi and it can afford you access to the Creek where dhows sail on their trading voyages to serve the coastal emirates. From your abra – or if you prefer, from a jet ski – you can sail the Creek, experience the excitement of the activity, watch waterside life, see the Creekside buildings and take in the amazing contrasts of the traditional water life and the amazing modern buildings in high tech ‘new’ Dubai. And if you hire your water transport from near Garhoud Bridge you can watch the beautiful desert sun sets near the Dubai Creek Golf and Yachting Club.

For those of you interested in Dubai’s trading history you can meander through the city’s souks or take pleasure in the annual Dubai Shopping Festival. This is an internationally recognised event, hugely popular with the locals and the visitors to Dubai. You’ll likely benefit from an incredible plethora of beautiful bargains and be blown away by the unbelievably low prices.

An entire area of Dubai City is given over to become the Global Village for the Shopping Festival. Stalls and stands are set up dedicated to different countries and here you’ll find handicrafts, fabrics, clothes, food and drink, pottery and jewellery from around the world.

To learn more about Dubai’s historical past there are many ancient sites and areas you can visit and Dubai Museum which is housed in Al Fahidi Fort is hugely popular as a starting point. The Museum is highly innovative and has been imaginatively arranged to depict Dubai’s past in as interactive a way as possible to bring history to life and to keep the interest and attention of even the youngest visitor.

If you want to see old Dubai then visit the Bastakiya district, here narrow lanes give way to the traditional courtyard houses and their windtowers. These are ancient forms of air conditioning if you like! They work by filtering air down and through the houses, and they look amazing as well!

Personally, i just luv the hilton hotel.

Laura asks…

Saeeyda metro station does exit? Please clarify?

to fari and tin m, and other users:

http://www.dtcm-dubaimap.com/applet/map.html

I used this website for locating places in dubai. Every place is given on it. you can see Saeeyda station . Just select catagory from directory. click on hotels and then click on citymax hotel, you can see a clear map. please use scroll bar on your left

admin answers:

City max hotel is a bit far from metro station, but if u chose walk you will take 20 minutes, I guess you are talking about Rashidya metro station.
Is metro good choice for traveling? Yes it is, quick, easy and peaceful. Working hours there is bit traffic but mostly its fine. I will recommend you ramada hotel or any other near to metro station rather than citymax.
If you are planning to spend more days here better to take a furnished apartment for few days, it will be cheaper and you can find very near to metro. Or you can stay near to mall of emirates so there you can find all things alltogether.
