TL;DR
Travelers report that Dubai Mall can be reached either by hotel shuttle or by taxi. Taxi fares were around AED 120 one way during the day, but the return trip could rise to AED 250 in heavy traffic; daily shuttles to Dubai Mall and several Sharjah malls were also mentioned.
One traveler reported paying about USD 130 for a round trip to Dubai when going to a shopping mall and back by car.
For trips to Manar Mall in Ras Al Khaimah, travelers mentioned about AED 80 one way and roughly AED 50 back. Return taxis are usually available outside the mall, while the outbound ride can be arranged through a hotel reception desk.
A daytime taxi ride to Dubai Mall cost about AED 120, but the return was around AED 250 because of heavy traffic. The way back took nearly 2 hours, so it is worth allowing extra time and budget for evening returns.
Travelers also mentioned hotel shuttle services: last year, daily transfers reportedly ran not only to Dubai Mall but also to four shopping malls in Sharjah.
