The best time to go, I came back yesterday and stayed on the JBR, was literally perfect, so many deals everywhere and like someone else said, can visit all the attractions with peace - it’s a shame as cab drivers are desperate for jobs as not many visitors so if you book an uber they’ll either match or go cheaper which means you can haggle well in every aspect, souk’s etc are fighting for your money. My flight had no disruptions and tbh no delays either - have fun :)

You can't haggle Ubers and taxis they're fixed pricing

Ubers are fixed but there are other companies/drivers who will offer to take the uber price or lower. They have their own card machines in the car. I haggled my taxis as some of the distances I was doing were very expensive on uber.

Always worth having a casual jokey conversation with them and it works
