It’s mornings like these that are unique to Dubai.

Today, part of Sheikh Zayed Road was closed off for the Dubai Run, a 5km/10km opportunity for walkers, joggers, runners and everything in between to join thousands others and take on Dubai’s busiest road as part of Dubai Fitness Challenge.

And the turnout was fantastic!

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Crown Prince of Dubai clearly had an early start this morning, along with thousands of others.
