We caught the airport bus, an absolute steal at about 80 cents for the ride! It left from around the corner from our hotel and we arrived at the airport within 20 minutes!!
Once at the airport we checked in and found out our bags would go straight through to Melbourne so we had to separate some stuff out and then just took carry on with our clothes for Dubai and on the flight home to Melbourne.
We departed on time and even had a spare seat next to us, lets hope that works out for the Melbourne leg!!
We arrived into Dubai around 3pm and by the time we cleared customs it was around 3:30pm.
We were going to catch a taxi but soon learnt that the taxi drivers did not want to take us as it was not a far enough trip from the airport, they told us their credit card machines were not working. They were also trying to force us to use the more expensive black taxis as the cheaper taxis did not want our fare!
So being stubborn we decided to walk!
Yes, it was 38 degrees and hot as all f**k but the metro station was not that far away so off we went sweating bullets!
We ended up arriving at the hotel around 4:45, it took us a decent amount of time but we felt like we had won the taxi battle!!
