Today, I really thought of posting something useful to people in the UAE. Surprisingly the buss information isn’t available on the internet. So, I thought lets drop my digital marketing expertise and my ideals and thoughts about life and business that i normally write about here in this blog, and write something that can be useful to the people.

I have a friend in Abu Dhabi, who I’d like to invite over to Dubai to spend some time and enjoy the wild attractions of the city, so I thought of finding out more about public busses between Dubai and Abu Dhabi to see if there is a convenient way of transportation out there. This search took me more than an hour and a half and yet failed to get me the information I wanted.

Then I thought of calling the RTA (Road and Transport Authority) in Dubai, and I can tell you, they are beautiful… These guys are really professional, spot on, helpful, and best of all you don’t wait on the phone. So I called them on 8009090 and they’ve spent the time to explain the service, timings and routes.

I was only interested in the Ibn Batutta route, so sorry for those who are interested in the other routes – which does exist by the way, but in anyway if you are living in Dubai you can reach Ibn Batutta mall via the Metro which is so convenient. So ladies and gentlemen, here is what you are looking for if you want to take a buss between Dubai to Abu Dhabi or Abu Dhabi to Dubai:
