Before you go
What the guide flags for older travellers.
- Dubai's malls, hotels and metro are step-free with lifts. The old quarters have kerbs and cobbles, and distances are long, so use taxis between clusters. (Accessibility · summary)
- Abra crossing on Dubai Creek: A step into the boat. (Accessibility · fit: poor)
