Plans to expand Dubai’s water taxi service to neighbouring emirates
The minimum fare for a water taxi is Dh50 for a ride across Creek Park. The fare can touch Dh570 for journeys from Dubai Festival City to the Jebel Ali Hotel and Spa. Those costs compare with boat cruises run by private operators who charge upwards of Dh200 per person for a two-hour ride and private charters that can cost as much as Dh3,000 per hour.
Nurturing a healthy pastime
Outlets have opened in the Mall of the Emirates, The Dubai Mall, Dubai Festival City and the Oasis Centre. The website served as an interactive platform for the skating community to get information on Rage events, locals news and international happenings, including articles, images and videos. They also invested in building Dubai’s first skatepark in the Festival City and launched a skating school.
21 new stores open in Dubai Festival City
Festival Centre, the award winning retail resort of Dubai Festival City, said it has opened twenty one new stores in the second quarter and continues to attract new brands to complement shopping season. Dubai Festival City is an Al-Futtaim Group Real Estate (AFGRE) development project which covers 5.2 million sq ft and stretches 3 kilometres along the historic Dubai Creek.
UAE infrastructure to touch Dh80bn
The quarterly UAE Infrastructure Report by Business Monitor International (BMI) reckoned that infrastructure growth in the UAE this year will be fuelled by Abu Dhabi, and to a lesser extent by transport infrastructure projects in Dubai, such as the Green Line Metro project, the Al Maktoum International Airport and the expansion of Dubai Airport.
