Bigger roads in any which direction from Dubai for us residents is a call for celebration. If you’ve always wanted to go to Al Ain but didn’t do so yet, then now’s the time, courtesy of the newly widened 6-lane road that will take you there.

Just to be clear, a major portion, stretching some 8 km of the widened section has been thrown open, and not the entire length. The widened road stretches from the Bu Kadra Junction to the junction of the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road with Dubai-Al Ain Road.

The RTA has released a video to accompany their new announcement. Looks fab, no?
