Though the port looks quite close to the city on a map, you can’t walk to see Dubai from the terminal. Some Dubai malls may offer free shuttles and have desks set up inside the terminal with their schedules posted. Shuttles typically run from 9:30am (malls open at 10am) until 5 to 7pm. Malls running shuttles (Apr 2012) are Mercato, Wafi (Egyptian themed with indoor modern souk and free nightly light show), Dubai Outlet and Burjuman (most convenient with a main metro stop beside it). Otherwise, the only way to leave the port is by taxi (see transport section below). Since there is a surcharge for taking a taxi from the port, it will be cheaper to take a shuttle first to the mall closest to your destination.

You can’t park your car here, so remember that if you rent a car. It is suggested that you use the buses or taxis to get around Dubai.
