style=\"text-align: left;\">You can catch the metro, uber, taxi or rent a car and drive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We tried all the above.\u00a0 The metro is pretty straight forward but it doesn&#8217;t bring you to many places.\u00a0 Taxi and uber is very reliable in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>We took a taxi from the airport to our hotel, it about 30 mins.\u00a0 \u00a0Taxi are in meter and all taxi are pretty new with meter clearly stated the fares.<\/p>\n<h3>Dubai Airport<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Dubai Airport is very efficient, my suitcases were already out at the belt waiting for me to collect once I came out from the immigration custom.\u00a0 The custom clearance were smooth and they used a lot of automated gates.\u00a0 If you were first time to enter the country, you may have to walk to the staff counter.\u00a0 Once you in for the first time, you can then use auto gates.<\/p>\n<p>Dubai Airport has 3 terminal.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Terminal 1 is for international airlines<\/li>\n<li>Terminal 2 is for budget airlines<\/li>\n<li>Terminal 3 is the exclusive international and the biggest in the world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I tried all three terminals.\u00a0 We arrived in T1.\u00a0 \u00a0T2 toilets are so dirty and crowded, we used T2 to flydubai to Baku Azerbaijan.\u00a0 T3 was the terminal we used to transit to Europe many years back.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to stay in

first day.<\/p>\n<p>There lot of eateries around the hotel.\u00a0 The hotel is apartment style, it comes with washing machine in the kitchen and a living room with big sofa.\u00a0 No slippers provided

plane.\u00a0 The elevator to go up is very fast and smooth.\u00a0 Lots of staff to make sure the lines are in order.\u00a0 Best to come when it starts so that you can avoid at least 2 hours of waiting time.\u00a0 Photographer in the tower charged very expensive price for the photo.\u00a0 If I listen correctly, it is 100 AED for a single photo.\u00a0 You will need no more than one hour up there.\u00a0 The place is quite crowded even though we came here first thing in the morning.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t imagine during peak hour like sunset.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

most part of Dubai Aquarium in the Dubai Hall.\u00a0 The under water Zoo wasn&#8217;t so impressive as well.<\/p>\n<p>-Glass Bottom Boat Tour.\u00a0 There is a small boat which can sit up to 6 person touring on top of the aquarium.\u00a0 Honestly you won&#8217;t have a good view of the fishes from the top since it is so narrow.<\/p>\n<p>-Fish Feeding.\u00a0 I would rather feed the koi fish in the lakes for free.\u00a0 The amount of fish food given to you is ridiculously little.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t waste your time here.\u00a0 The fish feeding area is also very small and narrow.<\/p>\n<p>-Penguin

very powerful and stable since it is 2 litre car.\u00a0 It looks very new in red color and the wheels are huge so when it is running on the road, it is not bumpy at all.<\/p>\n<p>Driver seat is on the left different from all the commonwealth country and Singapore.\u00a0 We have our international driving permit together with Singapore driving licence but the staff didn&#8217;t even bother to look at the IDP, only look at our Sg driving licence.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38437 size-full\"

tricky.\u00a0 Speed limit outside Dubai, like near Abu Dhabi\u00a0 and Al Ain is 160km\/h.\u00a0 Quite shocking to me!\u00a0 You will see many big cars in Dubai running around the highway.<\/p>\n<p>There are many large, multi-lane roundabouts! Sometimes roundabouts are up to 4 lanes wide, which confuses many drivers.\u00a0 So beware of the big roundabouts, use signals.<\/p>\n<p>There are speed camera so beware and do not speed.\u00a0 We got a fine for speed limit in school zone area.\u00a0 We paid SGD97 (AED247)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Parking<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Dubai some places uses app to pay for the parking.\u00a0 So you need to download the app to pay for the parking.\u00a0 We didn&#8217;t have the apps download but a kind Indian UAE resident helped us pay for our parking and didn&#8217;t take our money.<\/p>\n<p>Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, most of the parking is free at the attraction sites.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to stay in Al Ain?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Mercure Grand Jebel Hafeet Al Ain Hotel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38439 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20231228_130801.jpg\" alt=\"Rent a car and drive in Dubai, Al Ain and Abu Dhabi in UAE\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The hotel is located on top of the unique rock mountain high up 3000 feet. It was my first time to see such landscape, quite scary. Desert rock mountain without a single plant. It is a resort style hotel, it has nice view, especially at night when the city light up. The resort is cater for people who want to chill in summer, it has pools and other facilities for big group such as company team building.\u00a0 It is very windy and cold during year end. You need a thick jacket in the morning and night.\u00a0 The location is still not as bad, it takes about 20 mins to go downhill but it&#8217;s worth it.\u00a0 We had our lunch in the hotel, the menu
