If you asked us for our favourite form of cardio, our answer will always be shopping.

Because hey, we just logged 20,000 steps at The Dubai Mall this weekend alone – proving that picking up some Christmas gifts is probably more effective than 30 minutes on the cross trainer.

However as much as we love a good shop, negotiating your way around the world’s biggest mall can be extremely tough on the tootsies.

You can find the chauffeur-driven green vehicles on the ground floor – but you can’t just flag them down like a cab.

With the vehicles currently being on the ground floor, that means you can easily travel between Fashion Avenue, The Souk, and Dubai Aquarium, as well as shops and restaurants.

You just have to give a pick-up and drop-off location, and each car has room for four passengers.

Between rides, you’ll be able to see the cars parked up or charging by the Waterfall Atrium, Fashion Catwalk and Grand Atrium.
