Must-have for residents and visitors to the UAE
Often a person buying a property in Dubai feels uncomfortable in a new country for the first few days. An experienced broker will always be able to advise his client which apps are best to download before flying to Dubai and thus simplify his daily life. We have collected for you 12 top apps that will be useful for you and your clients.
Transportation
"Careem" - is your pocket alternative to Uber and Yandex.Taxi
Dubai is not a city designed for pedestrians, so it's more convenient to get around by private or public transportation. However, if you prefer a more comfortable journey, you can hail a cab on the Careem app. It's free and quite easy to use. The app is somewhat similar to Uber, so you won't have to figure it out for a long time. The principle of operation is very simple: you order a trip to the desired location, and you are connected to a free driver nearby. Payment can be made either by card or cash. The app is suitable for IOS and Android.
"Dubai metro" is for those who like to calculate time precisely
Despite the fact that Dubai has a pleasant road and almost no traffic jams, many people prefer to use public transportation. For those who want to quickly and easily understand the Dubai metro, we recommend the Dubai metro app. It can be used to easily navigate and quickly get to where you need to go. There is a free version, but if you want to use the app without ads, you will have to connect a monthly subscription of VIP-tariff.
The main features of the app: saving the necessary routes, working in offline mode, information about fare details, accurate schedule.
"S'hail" - instead of "Yandex.Transport".
Another cool app for those who like to save money on cabs and get around using public transportation. It contains all bus routes, stops from which this or that transportation leaves, etc. But the most convenient thing is that the application has a live map with the movement of not only buses, but also boats. With the help of "S'hail" you can easily build the desired route from point to point and see which way will be the most convenient for you to get to your destination.
"UDrive" is the best app for renting a car
If you don't like either public transportation or cabs, but haven't yet managed to get your own car, the "UDrive" app will help you out. In it, you can rent a car in just a few clicks. For comfortable use, you need to fill in personal information about yourself, driver's license number and payment method.
