How to get around Dubai in dirhams 1, 2, 3

Dubai - Explore every inch of the city without even breaking the bank.

Dubai has now become one of those cities where it's possible for someone to not own a car and yet stay well-connected.
Thanks to the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority, getting from one place to another is a breeze, and cheap!
Abra - Dh1
The abra is one of Dubai's oldest modes of public transport. Connecting Bur Dubai and Deira since the early days, the abra is not only a cheap mode of transport but also a cultural experience in itself.
Water Bus - Dh2
The water bus is a cheap and interesting alternative to walking around the Dubai Marina. Offering scenic views along the cruise, fares start at Dh2 and you can try roundtrips for Dh4. With three stations, you'll get to see the entirety of the Marina for a total of Dhs6!
Bus - starts at Dh3
The RTA bus is the cheapest and best option to reach virtually any point in Dubai. Bus lines operate all over the city and prices start at a mere Dhs3! Bus stops are also air conditioned so one doesn't need to worry about standing in the heat.
Tram - Dh3
A fresh entry in the public transport scene of Dubai, the Tram operates around the JBR and Al Sufouh areas and charge only Dhs3 whichever station you alight on. See and experience the beauty of Dubai Marina and JBR's The Beach on the cheap.
Metro - starts at Dh3
The Dubai Metro, next to bus is the fastest way to get to both ends of town from Jebel Ali all the way to Deira; it also has dedicated airport stations for backpackers and travelers who opt to go off the beaten path. The Metro works in tandem with the bus to guarantee that you'll reach any and every sort of destination you might have in Dubai.
