Get ready for some changes in Dubai’s water transport system! The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is rolling out a new timetable for water taxis and abras to better serve the city’s residents, especially during the summer months.
What’s Changing?
The RTA is shaking things up to make sure you get where you need to go more efficiently. They’re looking at things like how many people are using the services, how much money they’re making, and how full the boats are. By analyzing all this info, they’re figuring out the best times to run the water taxis and abras.

Affordable Travel
Did you know you can hop on an abra for as little as Dhs2? These traditional wooden boats are a popular way to get around Dubai Creek, whether you’re heading to work or just out for some fun.
Extra Perks
Here’s a cool bonus: if you take an abra to the Al Shindagha Museum, you can get in for free! Normally, tickets cost Dhs50 for adults and Dhs20 for kids, but arriving by abra saves you the entrance fee.
Private Cruises
For a special experience, you can even rent an entire abra for Dhs300. Imagine cruising along the water with your friends or family, enjoying your own private boat ride.

These changes show that the RTA is committed to making sure Dubai’s water transport is top-notch. Keep an eye out for updates on the new timetable, and make the most of Dubai’s scenic waterways for your next adventure!
