Walking in Dubai
Hello All,
Just a quick question - I'm working towards a move to Dubai, possibly working in Media/Internet City, and was considering living in Dubai Marina.
Looking at the map, I thought it would be quite easy to walk to work (despite the heat, & i don't drive) but have been told this is not possible - is this true?
Is there any location near Internet/Media Cty where I could live and walk to work?
And, finally (!), what is living in Dubai like without a car, and are taxis expensive? (ie - Marina -> Internet City)
Thanks for all of your help,
Andrew

Not easy without a car as local transport is practically non existant, taxi to Internet?media City from Dubai Marina probably around 20 Dhs

Re: Walking in Dubai

Re: Walking in Dubai
I am suitable impressed. As for me, I would much prefer to walk along Blackpool pier on a February morning than Jumeirah Beach Road on a July afternoon.
