Definitely not- literally a block or two from the dockside through the spice souks- really nice walk with lots to see and plenty of place to stop should you need to. Also as you’re walking between the shops in alley ways you are protected from the sun.

These Boats call Abra in Dubai. It's available behind Temple area in Bur Dubai or from Deira ( Another side of Bur Dubai) but not compatible for Wheel Chair. No problem for infant or toddlers.

Guarda, c'è un ristorante davanti.. attento che ci sono anche le barche taxi che sono notevolmente più economiche ma fanno solo da una sponda all'altra.. Prendi come punto di riferimento comunque il museo di Dubai

Yes you can hire

Lo mejor es un taxi, son baratos en Dubai...

Yes, you can take them; as long as you realize that the seats are like sunken benches. You step in and sit down. So you have to make sure you hold them down. The modern taxi is perhaps more convenient; but doesn't compare to the charms of the old Dow with sea breeazr brushing your face. I took my mum who's on a wheel chair with no problem. We folded the chair, and sat on the bench without any problems.

Definitely to take a taxi as they are fairly priced and metered, also that parking would be a problem.
