Pope Francis is in the UAE<\/a> and the hype for the much-awaited papal mass <\/a>tomorrow (Tuesday) is growing by the second.<\/p>\n

So far, the head of the Catholic Church has already met with rulers <\/a>of the UAE and even visited the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. More than 135,000 people are expected to attend the mass, which will be held at Zayed Sports City, hence our neighboring Emirate has announced road closures between 1 to 6pm.<\/p>\n

That’s a LOOOOT of people, and if you’re leaving from Dubai it could be quite the struggle so make sure you’re well equipped.<\/p>\n

The public Papal Mass takes place at Zayed Sports City, Abu Dhabi at 10.30am<\/h3>\n

Tickets are currently being distributed to parishes across the UAE. Tickets applicants have been advised they will be issued one ticket for entry and one ticket for transport.<\/p>\n

The Government of Abu Dhabi has arranged free transportation from designated hubs across the UAE.<\/p>\n

There will be designated parking at the Yas Gateway Access Hub and walkers are advised to carry their Emirates ID. The venue hosts 120,000 people, arrive early and expect waiting time.<\/p>\n
