UAE - Veins of Dubai - Sheikh Zayed Road

In Dubai, E 11 is known as "Sheikh Zayed Road" (in Arabic: شارع الشيخ زايد). It is the longest road in the UAE, it streches from the city of Abu Dhabi and ends in Ras Al Khaimah, running roughly parallel to UAE's coastline along the Persian Gulf. The road forms the main artery in some emirates' main cities, where it assumes various alternate names — Sheikh Maktoum Road in Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, and Sheikh Muhammed bin Salem Road in Ras Al Khaimah.

    Hey Lucie, which building did you take this one from? I managed to snag a few good ones from the top of the Shangri-La...but this looks farther back (Ritz?)

    Will be back out in Saudi / Kuwait / Dubai for the next few months - so looking forward to more desert pics!

    As always, love the pics...
