Cool comfort while you wait<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No more melting under the Dubai sun! Each of these rest areas comes with a comfy, air-conditioned seating space for up to 10 riders<\/strong>, plus dedicated parking for their motorcycles. Designed with safety and visibility in mind, these spots offer the perfect break between deliveries.<\/p>\n
