Even though Dubai is a city bustling with millions of personal cars and some top-of-the-line luxury vehicles, the emirate prides itself on a top-of-the-line and efficient public transport system.
Apart from plenty of taxis that can be hailed on the street or through ride-hailing apps, Dubai has a proper network of buses across the emirate and to all the other emirates, as well as slick metro that works to clockwork precision. And certain areas are also connected by the tram.
But before these different modes of transport came into being, Dubai and the UAE has been known for its pristine Arabian Sea. Back in the day, the sea was not just for fishing and pearl-diving, but also an important trade route.

And despite the rapid progress, the UAE continues to preserve its roots. The country is also known for its traditional abras that used to and still continues to take people from one destination to another.
