Navigating cities in the Arab world is an adventure — from modern metros to bustling taxis.
In this lesson, you'll learn to ask for directions, use transport, and find your way.
Arabic directions use cardinal points and landmarks more than street names!
In many Arab cities, people navigate by landmarks rather than street numbers. Taxis are common and inexpensive. Dubai and Cairo have modern metro systems. In smaller cities, shared taxis (service/سرفيس) follow set routes and are very affordable.
