The Shindagha Tunnel (Deira-Bur Dubai Direction) Reopens From Sunday!
If you thought that the dear old Shindagha Tunnel was not going to ever open again, then you were completely wrongggg
Since the Infinity Bridge opened to the public, lots of Dubai peeps thought that when the Shindagha Tunnel closed in January 2022, it would never open again.
