Sheikh Zayed Road (Pass By)

Sheikh Zayed Road (Sheikh Zayed Road) is the main arterial road in the city, and most of the traffic coming and going comes from Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. This highway is part of the UAE’s longest E11 highway, extending from Al-Silah in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi to the Emirate of Al-Emirate, roughly parallel to the coastline of the Persian Gulf along the UAE. In all Emirates, E11 has a different name. The roads in Dubai are named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, then President of the UAE. Sheikh Zayed Road is home to most of the city’s skyscrapers and is a major commercial hub. I recommend driving on this 7 to 8 lane road at night to feel the best in high-rise buildings, restaurants, shopping malls, Dubai Red Metro, etc. As mentioned earlier, it is very crowded during the festival.
