goaussiegal Posted July 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Hi, We will be in Dubai in April 2024 and love the idea on staying on the QE2 (we stayed on the Queen Mary at Long Beach years ago). I am struggling with google maps - how far and hard is the walk to the Port Rashid Cruise Terminal? Also how far and hard is the walk to any public transport? We want to see the Burj Khalifa and would prefer not doing a tour or a taxi. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer Bob Posted July 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Haven't used Port Rashid in a while (last cruises were from Marina) but don't recall much in the line of public transit nearby. I don't think QE2 is too far from the cruise terminal. Edited July 26, 2023 by Dancer Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it has a stop at ( or very close) to the Burj, i think it even has a stop at/near the cruise terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancer Bob Posted August 6, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I believe there is a stop close to Marina, which calls itself Dubai Harbour. Unless there's been a radical change the entrance for Mina Rashid is on the west side, a considerable distance from the HOHO bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamgu Posted February 11 #6 Share Posted February 11 We were on MSC Virtuosa yesterday and stayed on the QE2 last night. Today we’ve just joined the MSC Opera believe me, I’m an expert at getting to and fro!! We tried walking it and it is doable because you can see the ship from the port, but there are serious roadworks between the two and it involves going through them. If you’ve got luggage it’s impossible. There is no public transport linking the two. We got an Uber. Cost 24 AED and was worth every penny. Hope that helps.

wcook Posted February 12 #7 Share Posted February 12 This one is easy - don’t even think about it. While I’m sure it’s technically possible, the April heat, lack of shade and port isolation make it a no go. Note that cabs in Dubai are relatively cheap (as long as you make sure the meter is running) and hoho busses are expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
