Driving on the Sheikh Zayed Road

Nearly home
Heading across the Creek towards Sharjah 
The anticipation of driving on the five lane Sheikh Zayed Road is worse than actually doing it, although you really do need to have some geographical knowledge of the area if you want to end up in the right place.  Basically, if you drive north you will end up in Sharjah and if you drive south you will end up in Abu Dhabi, so you can't go too far wrong!  You can use the road signs to learn how to read arabic numbers.






Here are some pictures of the downtown skyskrapers.  It takes just over ten minutes to get there from our house.

The bridge over the road is a walkway to the Metro station on the right.
