Faster than a speeding camel, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s a Dubai City Taxi…




Our taxi that took us from Dubai to Abu Dhabi was NUTS! He picked us up at the hotel near the Dubai Museum, then drove down to the Orient Guest House to grab our bags, then off to the races – well, one more pit stop, apparently the taxi was out of gas… so, we had to swing into a gas station. I wanted to go to a gas station, and see how much gas costs in Dubai… And I got left with a new question – what in the world is an Imperial Gallon – hmmm… anyway, gas stations are all pretty similar, all around the world.

Then the taxi whisked us off to Abu Dhabi – at lightning speed, or at least after we got past all the traffic circles on the highway – the official taxi meter kept informing the driver to slow down, but he paid no heed and rushed us on off to the airport – we made it with 2 hours to shop! =)
