Avoid peak traffic times
Morning and evening rush hours along Sheikh Zayed Road can add significant time—schedule around 7–9am and 5–8pm when possible.
Carry water and sun protection
Even short walks between vehicle and venues expose you to strong sun—bring a bottle and sunscreen.
Have local currency and contact info
Keep a small amount of dirhams for tolls, parking, or tips and ensure your phone can receive the driver’s calls.

Dubai transitioned from a pearling and trading port to an oil‑ and trade‑driven metropolis in the 20th century, with rapid development shaping its modern skyline.
