Dubai taxis have tan bodies and color roofs (red/yellow/blue/green/pink) and you’ll see plenty of them plying the streets. The pink-colored cabs have female drivers and allow family and female passengers only.
You can easily catch a taxi in front of hotels and malls.
Taxi fares: AED 1.75/km (USD0.48). The required minimum amount of taxi fare is AED 12 (USD3.27). The fare for a short 10km trip will be no more than AED 17.5 (USD4.76).
Taxi hours: 24 hours
Note: If you want to save cost, then stay away from the hotel taxis and limousines. They can be expensive because they are not regulated by official rates.
