Taxis
There are quite a few taxi services readily available in Dubai. If you happen to be in a remote location where not many taxis seem to pass you can call anyone of these services and a taxi will pick you up within 10 to 20 minutes of the call. If a standard taxi isn’t what you had in mind to cruise the night away in there are also many limousine and luxury car services available. For a directory of taxis and other transport services you can call 181 or check Dubai's online yellowpages.
