I would not be wrong to say that the one thing that was consistant in Dubai are the taxi drivers. Ok, I know that the city is in a growth spurt at the moment and road access seems to change daily but look...even if the access changes you should know where the major spots are located. As an example we had taken a taxi three times (probably a couple times more after I had to leave Dubai) to the golf course and each trip was different! For goodness sake we could see the golf course from the front of the building we were staying and yet each driver did not know how to get to where he was going.
