About Renting a Car at Dubai Oud Metha

Dubai Oud Metha is a well-located district in central Dubai, known for Rashid Hospital and the popular Lamcy Plaza shopping center. One rental company is on-site, and by car you can reach Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall in 10 minutes via Al Khail Road. Dubai Creek, one of the city's most historic waterways, is just 5 minutes away.

Oud Metha is a mixed-use area with hospitals, schools, hotels, and residential buildings, popular with both locals and expats. American Hospital Dubai and Welcare Hospital give the district a medical profile. Wafi Mall with its Egyptian temple-themed design and Raffles Dubai Hotel are iconic landmarks in the area.

Drive to Dubai Creek and take an abra boat across to Deira Souq - park at the Creek promenade and continue on foot. Wafi Mall has free parking and is a quieter alternative to the more crowded shopping centers in new Dubai. Avoid the Al Khail Road exit toward Oud Metha between 17-18:30 - traffic from hospitals and schools creates congestion.
