Although the petrol prices have been lowered in the entire country, other emirates such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah have not announced a decrease in taxi fares so far. It is expected that they will do so in the next few days.
UAE’s Fuel Price Committee revises the prices of fuel every month as per the market rate. It is after two consecutive months of hikes that the committee has announced a price decrease on all petroleum products in the country.
