Transport System in Dubai

Hi, lovely readers and intending travelers, this article will enlighten you about the land transport system in Dubai. The UAE is a small country comprising seven Emirates. Though compact, it still covers a significant expanse of land. To navigate efficiently, here are the major modes of transportation:

  1. Taxi: Public taxis in cream and blue colors can be booked online or hailed on the road. Unlike underdeveloped countries, Dubai taxis use meters attached to the dashboard, ensuring that fares are calculated based on distance covered. It is an affordable means of transport, but to avoid overcharging, always ensure the taxi has a functioning meter. Private taxis in colors like white and black are also available.
  2. Bus: Dubai's buses are comfortable, equipped with seat belts, and more affordable than taxis. To board, wait at designated bus stops, marked with a metal pole and sign. You must have a Nol card, a reloadable card used for payment. Tap your Nol card on the automated machine when entering and don’t forget to "tag out" when exiting to avoid unnecessary charges.
  3. Metro: Metro is the fastest and cheapest transport option. This train service operates through Metro stations, and a Nol card is required for entry. Metro stations have clear navigation signs, but if unsure, ask for assistance. Inside the Metro, an audio service announces upcoming stops, and electronic screens display travel information.
  4. Car Rental: For those who prefer privacy or luxury, Dubai offers various rental cars, including high-end options like Porsches, Maseratis, and Lamborghinis. Most of these cars are rented rather than privately owned.
  5. Bicycle: A bicycle is the most affordable mode of transport. Some areas lack Metro and bus services, making cycling a practical option. Additionally, rechargeable electric bicycles and tricycles are available to avoid fines for using public transport without a sufficient Nol card balance.
  6. Scooter: Electric scooters are another transport option, offering convenience in areas without bus or Metro services. They allow users to move quickly by adjusting speed settings.
  7. Motorcycles: Unlike in some countries, motorcycles in Dubai are primarily used by delivery services and are not commonly available for private use.

Dubai's transportation system is efficient, well-organized, and stress-free. I hope you enjoyed this publication on lifestyle and adventure. Stay tuned for more intriguing stories!

Mountains.

Razzak Osemobor Razzak Osemobor July 10, 2025 There are moments while traveling that truly take my breath away. I often find myself lost in such moments, trying to capture the beauty of nature. We’ve heard it said that the Earth is spherical—a theory supported by science and geographers. But when you travel through certain parts of Nigeria and see uneven landscapes, with valleys, hills, and mountains, it can feel like a contradiction to that idea. These uneven lands—especially the hills and mountains—are mostly found in the northern parts of Nigeria, though some can also be seen in the south. For travelers, these features are more than just landmarks. They are sources of wonder, resources, and sometimes even places of settlement. When visiting mountainous regions, it’s not uncommon to see people staring up at the peaks in awe. Some feel the urge to climb to the top to see how the world looks from above...

Movement.

Understanding Movement - Part 1 Part 1. Movement occurs when there is a change in position. It is an activity that happens in almost every aspect of our lives. The metamorphosis from the fertilization of the human egg to the development of a baby is achieved through movement. The planets rotate in orbit, and the Earth spins around an imaginary axis running from the North Pole to the South Pole. This takes approximately 24 hours, which is why we experience a complete cycle of day and night within that period. Things That Move All living things move except plants, which are somewhat stationary because their roots are fixed in the ground. Water moves from the roots through the stem to the leaves of plants; some leaves fold and open, while branches and leaves are whirled by the wind. Animals move in search of shelter and food, as well a...

My Daily Time Table.

My Daily Timetable My Daily Timetable Life is a journey filled with many treasures. How do we grasp all these treasures with a daily plan? The bedrock of any achievement is the foundation. While personalities like Elon Musk may now enjoy more sleep, it is likely due to the solid foundation he laid earlier in life. So, should we continue to sleep and wake up with unfulfilled aspirations? A daily plan can be as simple as visiting a restaurant for a burger and a drink. However, a single event in your daily routine is not enough to keep you healthy, creative, and progressive. Tools That Help My Daily Timetable These tools help keep us on track and make progress with our daily plans: Clock: Setting an alarm helps those who wake up late to start their day early. Calendar: Calendars assist in planning events. Some people prefer paper calendars, while others use digital versions for reminders. ...

Movement Episode 2.

Part 2. There are limitations to movement in almost every part of the world. Some people want to explore movement through rivers, oceans, and to the tops of mountains and skyscrapers, but it's important to remember that such places may have restrictions, and safety should always come first. Things That Aid Mobility: Ladder: We are under gravitational pull, so there is a limit to how high we can reach. For example, replacing an outdoor electric bulb requires a ladder. Manlift: For those working in manufacturing or construction, a manlift is useful for tasks at height. Bridges: Bridges are constructed over water bodies, such as rivers, to ease movement from one place to another. Vehicles and Aircraft: Long-distance journeys are made easier by using vehicles, trains, and jets. Climbing: The use of a rope and hook can ease movement when climbing mountains. ...

Climate

Climate in Nigeria Climate in Nigeria Nigeria, a country in West Africa, is made up of six geopolitical zones: South-South, South-West, South-East, North-East, North-West, and North-Central. Weather conditions vary across these regions due to several factors: Factors Influencing Nigeria's Climate Latitude and location: Nigeria spans from the tropical rainforest in the south to the semi-arid Sahel in the north. This variation in latitude affects temperature, humidity, and rainfall levels. Proximity to water bodies: The Atlantic Ocean influences the climate of coastal areas like Lagos and Port Harcourt, bringing frequent rainfall and humidity. Altitude: Higher-altitude areas such as the Mambilla Plateau and Jos Plateau have cooler and more temperate climates compared to lowlands. Vegetation and land use: Different vege...
