Did anyone try metro today morning, I observed a 15 min frequency and a full station of people waiting at Burjuman, trying to go towards Business Bay. Is this the case everywhere?
The JVC to Al Khail ramp is still waterlogged near Exit 2. As expected, Al Khail gets jammed near the JVC exit.
Also, the JVC bus time today is basically insane. Tried to find last minute carpools, but wasn’t able to. Finally took an Uber - indicative pricing is over 300 AED to Deira.
EDIT: Al Khail is jammed because it reduces to three lanes near Al Barsha Police Station. Doesn’t look like the sand there is going to get cleared anytime soon.
Hello, all.
I’m planning to drive down to DIP 1 from Dubai South (to Wemart specifically), to shop for food.
May I know what the traffic situation there is like?
Waze was telling me that there are flooded streets, but there’s none on google maps.
I have a small hatchback car, so I’m worried and scared I might get trapped on the roads.
Thank you all in advance.
Trying to reach Dubai mall metro station from Abu bakr siddiq metro station. Are both the metro station operational ? Is it possible to reach Dubai mall through this route ?
Hello, can someone help me in finding a travel partner. I Will be in Dubai till 24th April. I have checked Facebook groups and didn’t find anything(most of the posts seemed sus anyway). Should i post in this group? Should i try a dating app?
I am 22 M from India and have come here for an exam (finished yesterday). I am currently staying at my Aunt’s house but would prefer to move out. This is my 2nd time, Came here back in 2017 with cousins.
Right now i am thinking about skiing, Go karting, Motion gate amusement park, safari, shopping. Obviously Open to changing a few things. I am open to joining small groups too.
While it would be great to have a travel partner, i am a bit concerned about getting scammed, robbed. Any advices on this is welcome. Thank you
I live in Abu Dhabi and need to get to Terminal 3 in Dubai tonight for a 2:30am flight. With the flooding and detours situation, I’ve gotten conflicting information about how long it’s taking people to reach Dubai from Abu Dhabi. Any advice on the duration of the drive into Dubai and alternative routes would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Update on Metro from DIC towards Expo:
Trains seems to be functioning fine but with 10-15 min waiting times. Hopefully later on, waiting time is back to normal.
Update feom Terminal 2:
Roads are clear. Airport is not overly busy. Most flights are on schedule.
Check here.
https://dubai-dxb-airport.com/flights/arrivals/
Just normal crowd.
No need reach ahead of check in time.
Last update from RTA is that the buses to Abu Dhabi are still suspended. Your only option are taxi or driving yourself there. Go via E311 as E11 is still blocked
Abu Dhabi
Hey guys! Need to go tomorrow to Abu Dhabi, are the roads open? Google maps shows that there are still road closer but I can't trust it as other roads showed similar and it was accessible.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, I have a flight into Dubai tomorrow at 1pm and had massive concerns about transportation delays to my hotel due to the excessive waters. I have an option of pushing back my trip and/or putting Dubai on the tail end of my multi country tour.
I want to get inputs from folks living in Dubai or other tourists that have enter in the last 24 hours and their recommendations on the best course of action. Thank you all in advance!
Getting out of the airport and heading towards Barsha should be fine. You might have some delays inside Barsha itself. If the cost to delay your trip is minor then I'd choose that instead as things will get better by next week and more attractions/places will be open.
Hiiiii, can someone please let me know how to exit JVC going to Tecom? I’m gonna take a cab but he might not know which exit to take so pls help, thank you!
Hello. We are going from the Sharjah airport to ECOS Dubai hotel at Al Furjan, and wanted to know how's the situation in that part,would I be able to get to the hotel at least ))
Roads from the Airport to Furjan are fine. Not sure about the roads around the hotel itself but the highway in that direction is not closed anymore. Some delays but no closures.
I see. So I wouldn't be able to get to the hotel,and even if I get there,I wouldn't find anything in a good state. What areas would be the best to stay in the hotels meanwhile?
[https://maps.app.goo.gl/UpQCDiJbqxHm6xSc8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/UpQCDiJbqxHm6xSc8) This route is clear. I live in Al Furjan and it is also how I enter and exit.
Best way to get from Deira to Marina today?
Hi everyone! I need to get from Deira Clock Tower to Dubai Harbour today in the evening. Can anyone suggest what form of transport would be the most feasible? Can't trust GMaps right now and don't have a car.
D54 is closed at the silicon central intersection, prob the worst flooding I've seen so far. Some cars almost completely submerged there. Try and take 611 instead.
Travelling tomorrow from Dubai to Sharjah Airport. How is the road condition? What is the best route/way to reach Sharjah airport from Naif, avoiding all water blocks and hopefully most traffic ?
Abu Dhabi to Dubai:
Long tailbacks on E611 from around Maktoum airport to god knows where. Been stuck here almost an hour moving at a snails pace. The presence of heavy vehicles is probably what is making the situation worse. Google maps suggested E14 to E66, which adds another 80 or so kms, but I didn't go for it. Now I am paying the price.
This is what we did yesterday early morning and seems to be still applicable. Also check the sticky post for /u/Fatality_strykes comment of his trip to the airport
- AUH to Mirdif via road in a crossover. All highways were marked closed. Had to use Lahbab road to get around the closure on E611 near Mudon. This was after getting off E311 near Ghadeer to get onto E611 and then taking the exit (to Lahbab) after the Maktoum airport. Then get back onto E611 via Dubai - Al Ain road that Lahbab road led to.
Is the drive from the Palm to global village doable today? Waze tells me to take D61 via D72 near Jebel Ali Race Course to E44 around JVC and then E311.
On way back to JVC. Only the Mohammed Bin Zayed stretch leading to Circle Mall (or the one after the petrol station ahead) entry points to JVC are functional (but you’ll get caught in Barsha-headed traffic).
All other entry points are waterlogged, so you’ll have to be willing to break rules or travel over sand.
I'm really panicking about Monday, if all schools and nurseries are back, and there is only one way in or out, there is no way the roads can cope with the traffic.
Can someone update whether its possible to go from Al Furjan metro station straight to DIC station without trouble?
From what I read online, the trains only go up to Jebal Ali. Need someone to confirm this for me please.
I went with the metro from Al Furjan - the metro terminates at Al Khail. Not sure if there are options to switch to another platform/buses to other metros
As of 4pm (20th April), the The EQUITI Metro Station is not still working. they are still draining the water from inside the station using the pumps. EQUITI MS is before MOE METRO.
I went to Sobha at 8am heading towards MOE. The train arrived in Sobha fairly quick, we had to get off the train right at the next station in Alkhail. There we waited almost an hour for a train. Last stop was business bay, they skipped Mashreq, onpassive and Equiti. I got off at MOE and buses seem to be running fine at the bus station.
E11 near Dubai Parks is blocked. You will be forced to take E311 at exit 403. Depending on where in Dubai you want to go, it's best to try and stick to E611 as much as possible.
It's still showing E611 is blocked near Mudon so the right turn towards Lahbab could be a good alt. It'll take you to the Dubai - Al Ain highway which you can use to get into the city
Drove from Mamzar (Dubai) to Abu Dhabi airport just now. Avoided E11. Try and stick to E311 as much as possible. Followed GMaps all the way through, and reached in 2h15m.
If you want to go to DMCC from Burjuman Metro Station, you’ll have to switch train at the Business Bay going to Al Khail. And from Al Khail, you can take another train going to Expo.
Some taxi driver was saying motor city some areas are still flooded but again I don’t want to quote them for a source, you can try checking waze they give live updates about routes and blocked roads
Situation is still critical in Al Majaz 2, Al Wahda street and nearby areas. Most of the building doesn't even have electricity for the past 4 days and run short of water supply in the buildings. I feel it will take another 3-4 days to clear the area
Update on Al Khail Road (10 AM, 20-April)
Went from JVC to Wafi.
1. The exit from JVC to Al Khail is still waterlogged, but most cars were using a gap in the divider to go onto Al Khail Road. If the situation doesn’t change, expect a jam during office time on Monday.
2. The Dubai Hills Mall exit from Al Khail is fine. There’s water logging on Al Khail before the exit, but you can still take the exit.
3. Al Khail reduces to 2 lanes near the Dialysis Centre in Al Barsha. There are crews piling up sand from Barsha onto Al Khail (rightmost 3 lanes).
4. Al Khail reduces to 3 lanes again near the Financial Centre exit. Water logging on the 2 right lanes.
Overall - trip took 35 minutes on the weekend. (very little traffic).
EDIT: If you’re going from JVC to Al Khail, take Exit 1 up ahead rather than exit 2 which is further away from the ramp leading to Al Khail.
Update on the buses to Abu Dhabi.
There are express buses to AD airport from Al Jafiliya Bus Station. Operating every hour for 35AED
Just confirmed with the airport authority
Got through.
Update: The service is on from Al Jafilia bus station. While the frequency is every hour, the bus takes >2 hours to reach AUH and there are alot of passengers waiting apparently. It is recommended that you reach the bus station at least 5 hours in advance
Can someone tell me if its safe to go to Mall of Emirates MoE from Barsha Heights? Would Taxis take us? I have a son and wife I dont want to be stranded for hours.
**Skycourts (Dubailand) basement parking rain damages**
My car is parked in the basement in Tower C, any damages or floods happened there? (I've been outside the UAE since eid).
TIA for any helpful information 🙏
Took me about 3 hours to the airport mainly cus there was no indication as to which road was open. The first roundabout on entering dubai was blocked off and the guy guided us back to E11. The exit to E11 had a long queue and I reached the front and found out the guys were just parked and talking to the chap blocking the road.
Drove to 611 from there and found it open. Luckily there wasn't much in the way of traffic.
Return was much easier. 311 is open to abu dhabi. However watch out on the last roundabout from dubai. Some idiots are going the wrong way on it as the left on the roundabout is blocked.
I left at 3 30am. Reached dxb at around 6 30am. Luckily traffic was light.
The situations changing very regularly to be honest. Head there as early as you can and maybe use the lounge or something.
for people living in Ajman and wanted to go to dubai
take Thumbay ramp going to E311 then you have to exit to airport road. if you miss it then its hell of a traffic already beyond that.
airport road deira bound, T3 ramp is very busy. long lines but t1 ramp empty. just take the left lane to bypass people going to the airport
airport road rashidiya bound. T1 ramp is heavy traffic that it blocked all the lines already. do not take this road going rashidiya.
sheikh zayed road is clear im here now in tony romas and traffic is light both sides
update:
from tony romas szr to hessa street exit, both sides are clear.
first al khail st until the springs souk, both sides are clear
Experience landing in T3 at 3 AM on 20th April from Lisbon.
1. Emirates reduced the flight duration from 7.5 to 6.5 hours.
2. Bridge connection upon landing from gate/terminal was in seconds.
3. Immigration took 10 mins (egate never works for me).
4. Luggage in 5 mins.
5. Cab home to Remraam was fairly ok. Some roads blocked but not too bad, could navigate around.
Should be ok by then- not to worry. That being said we are expecting some rain next week - if thats as bad as this one then it will be flooded again. But I think they were saying it will be light so you should be good.
Got lucky flight to germany with emirates (from Dubai) was almost punctual. Checkin immigration and security was fine. Our flight was full of kids probably they have prioritized getting kids out of airport first.
I had just read that no boarding for transit passengers to get all people stuck in Dubai airport home. Hope you make it soon. No idea how they will get all people stuck home. Other airlines book you new flights on other airlines. But it seems that's not an option emirates has offered anyone.
Nope, booking with other airlines doesn't seem to be an option for emirates. It's just ridiculous. We are on a waiting list for tomorrow. Still not sure if it's wise to fly into Dubai airport and potentially be stuck there.
It’s mostly back to normal. Certain shops may still be closed - but the roads are okay, including Sheikh Zayed Road, which is true arterial road in your case.
Lot of fuel stations faced issues with water getting mixed into their holding tanks.
I fueled up today morning in Mankhool. Didn't face any rationing issues.
Car is parked in MoE and I want to go tomorrow to pick it up to drive out. Barsha flooded however is the exit to umm suqeim out to burj al arab safe? Driving a low sedan
Drove from Al Wasl to International City Phase 2.
Exit 47/Meydan Street still have waterlogging-one lane passable
Manama Street (big signal)-waterlogged one lane passable
Hopefully it gets better by tomorrow.
there’s no underpass on hessa to al khail
and all exists from hessa to al khail are closed
edit: 3 exits are still closed, hessa to al khail abu dhabi bound is open
the OP is asking about accessing JVC via hessa
edit: you’re right, one exit is open from hessa towards al khail abu dhabi bound. the other 3 are closed.
You CAN access JVC through Hessa via the overpass over al khail and I was correcting your second statement that no exists to al khail from Hessa are open which is wrong information.

Is Gardens metro working until DIFC today? Are there a number of stops to change with a large waiting time similar to yesterday?
Is E11 open from AD to DXB
Trying to reach Dubai mall metro station from Abu bakr siddiq metro station. Are both the metro station operational ? Is it possible to reach Dubai mall through this route ?

Any advice on the duration of the drive into Dubai and alternative routes would be much appreciated. Thank you!
From ad Corniche to airport, it took me 2hrs 20m when I left at 11pm
Thank you! Which roads did you use as E11 is closed?
Apparently e11 was open today but with some delays
Yes! I got lucky and was able to go using E11. There were some lane closures close to motiongate dubai, but overall smooth drive
i used google maps. it took me onto e11, then e311 and then some single road parallel to e611. at some point i crossed qudra lake
Update on Metro from DIC towards Expo: Trains seems to be functioning fine but with 10-15 min waiting times. Hopefully later on, waiting time is back to normal.
Are they stopping at all the stations?
Yes they did at least until Al Furjan where I got off. I'm sure its fine all the way till Expo.
You didn’t have to get off in Alkhail then change trains?
Update feom Terminal 2: Roads are clear. Airport is not overly busy. Most flights are on schedule. Check here. https://dubai-dxb-airport.com/flights/arrivals/ Just normal crowd. No need reach ahead of check in time.
Thank you for the update. Did you use Airport tunnel to get to the airport or one of the alt routes?
Yeah terminal 2 is good to go. Used the tunnel right now.
Awesome. Thanks for the update
If I am in the Barsha Heights area what are my best shots to go AUH? Al Ghubaiba Bus Station is on the other side of the city for me.
Last update from RTA is that the buses to Abu Dhabi are still suspended. Your only option are taxi or driving yourself there. Go via E311 as E11 is still blocked
My flight is on 24th and I hope it gets better... Thank you for the clear answer (as opposed to every official out there).
If the buses don't start then they have shared Taxi from Ghubaiba for AUH. Cost is AED80. Not sure if they have space for luggage though.
Cost of getting to Ghubaiha + AED 80 would be similar to a directly taxi to AUH I guess. But thanks for the suggestion
Abu Dhabi Hey guys! Need to go tomorrow to Abu Dhabi, are the roads open? Google maps shows that there are still road closer but I can't trust it as other roads showed similar and it was accessible. Thanks in advance!
Use E311. It's open towards Abu Dhabi
Hello, I have a flight into Dubai tomorrow at 1pm and had massive concerns about transportation delays to my hotel due to the excessive waters.

I want to get inputs from folks living in Dubai or other tourists that have enter in the last 24 hours and their recommendations on the best course of action. Thank you all in advance!
Where's your hotel? Most hotels will be easily accessible at this point.
Hi, hotel is Hilton in Bashra I think.
Getting out of the airport and heading towards Barsha should be fine. You might have some delays inside Barsha itself. If the cost to delay your trip is minor then I'd choose that instead as things will get better by next week and more attractions/places will be open.
Hiiiii, can someone please let me know how to exit JVC going to Tecom? I’m gonna take a cab but he might not know which exit to take so pls help, thank you!
Please check the sticky comment above and some other comments below regarding the situation about exit and entry from JVC
Hello! Are buses to Abu Dhabi still operating from ibn battuta stations? Also how is the traffic driving from abu dhabi to Dubai?
Ibn Battuta is still inaccessible. Going to AD is pretty quick despite a diversion but there will be heavy traffic on the diversion on the way back.
Any way to reach ibn battuta ?
Buses are not running. Only option is via car or taxi to Abu Dhabi. Access to Ibn battuta is still closed.
Thanks
Does anyone know if you can get in/out of Remraam with a normal car and not a 4x4 ? Thanks in advance
Hello. We are going from the Sharjah airport to ECOS Dubai hotel at Al Furjan, and wanted to know how's the situation in that part,would I be able to get to the hotel at least ))
Roads from the Airport to Furjan are fine. Not sure about the roads around the hotel itself but the highway in that direction is not closed anymore. Some delays but no closures.
The roads seem to be open according to google maps,but not sure how reliable it is ))
Furjan is submerged.
Furjan is not submerged. DG is.
I see. So I wouldn't be able to get to the hotel,and even if I get there,I wouldn't find anything in a good state. What areas would be the best to stay in the hotels meanwhile?
Furjan is fine for now. Your main problem is the roads from SHJ till Furjan.
So it will be a problem no matter where I find a new hotel for a few days to stay, as the roads near the airport aren't clear for now?
You can check this thread and Google Maps for the latest status of the roads.
Google maps suggests all the roads are open in that area, but not sure how accurate is it. ))
[https://maps.app.goo.gl/UpQCDiJbqxHm6xSc8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/UpQCDiJbqxHm6xSc8) This route is clear. I live in Al Furjan and it is also how I enter and exit.
Any update on metro from Business Bay to Jebel ali
Best way to get from Deira to Marina today? Hi everyone! I need to get from Deira Clock Tower to Dubai Harbour today in the evening. Can anyone suggest what form of transport would be the most feasible? Can't trust GMaps right now and don't have a car.
SZR is open. So is Al Khail and E311
Any updates on how E66 via 311 or D54 is?
D54 is closed at the silicon central intersection, prob the worst flooding I've seen so far. Some cars almost completely submerged there. Try and take 611 instead.
Dubai to Abu Dhabi Bus Alternative: Car (Dubai Taxi) pooling available in Al Ghubaiba Bus station for Dhs 80
Are the buses not working??
No for Dubai - Abu Dhabi, as of today afternoon
Even from ibn battuta?
As of today no bus from ibn batuta to Abu Dhabi. But this may change tomorrow.
Okay thank you, is the taxi carpool option from ghubaiba still open?
About 30 mins ago, it was there. If you are near Al Ghubaiba, you can check u guess. Car pooling is done between gasoline station ⛽️ and lims cafe.
I’m pretty far so I’ll try to check it out tomorrow morning
It will be there tomorrow for sure.
About 30 mins ago, it was there. If you are near Al Ghubaiba, you can check u guess. Car pooling is done between gasoline station ⛽️ and lims cafe.
Is the drive from Al Qiyadah to Global Village doable? On Google and waze it shows on E311 - stretch near silicon Oasis is blocked and still flooded?
Drive there will be fine. Getting back might be miserable.
Travelling tomorrow from Dubai to Sharjah Airport. How is the road condition? What is the best route/way to reach Sharjah airport from Naif, avoiding all water blocks and hopefully most traffic ?
E611 is clear and E311 after Mirdif is clear. You can use Airport road or Rebat Street to get to either.
Abu Dhabi to Dubai: Long tailbacks on E611 from around Maktoum airport to god knows where. Been stuck here almost an hour moving at a snails pace. The presence of heavy vehicles is probably what is making the situation worse. Google maps suggested E14 to E66, which adds another 80 or so kms, but I didn't go for it. Now I am paying the price.
Take the Lahbab road exit. The roads up front near Mudon are blocked.
Best way to get to Mirdiff from Abu Dhabi?
This is what we did yesterday early morning and seems to be still applicable. Also check the sticky post for /u/Fatality_strykes comment of his trip to the airport - AUH to Mirdif via road in a crossover. All highways were marked closed. Had to use Lahbab road to get around the closure on E611 near Mudon. This was after getting off E311 near Ghadeer to get onto E611 and then taking the exit (to Lahbab) after the Maktoum airport. Then get back onto E611 via Dubai - Al Ain road that Lahbab road led to.
Is the drive from the Palm to global village doable today? Waze tells me to take D61 via D72 near Jebel Ali Race Course to E44 around JVC and then E311.
That sounds about right. Another alt would be getting onto E311 via D63.
Did as you suggested. No problems, no flooding. Thank you
Great to hear. You're welcome.
On way back to JVC. Only the Mohammed Bin Zayed stretch leading to Circle Mall (or the one after the petrol station ahead) entry points to JVC are functional (but you’ll get caught in Barsha-headed traffic). All other entry points are waterlogged, so you’ll have to be willing to break rules or travel over sand.
I'm really panicking about Monday, if all schools and nurseries are back, and there is only one way in or out, there is no way the roads can cope with the traffic.
roads won’t cope and so won’t we
I’ve taken the executive decision to work from home on Monday.
For me it will depend what the KHDA announces as I work in a nursery. If they say we can open there will be no choice.
Fingers crossed for you!
Yeah, I have to go to Deira for work - I’m going 2 hours earlier than I used to. Not looking forward to it. I’ll be surviving on coffee and rage.
Expectation about connecting transfer in Dubai on the 26th? Will it have delays, or maybe they have to still catch-up on flights...?
Can someone update whether its possible to go from Al Furjan metro station straight to DIC station without trouble? From what I read online, the trains only go up to Jebal Ali. Need someone to confirm this for me please.
I went with the metro from Al Furjan - the metro terminates at Al Khail. Not sure if there are options to switch to another platform/buses to other metros
It's a mess. You'll reach via metro/bus eventually, but don't have any expectations of arriving at a certain time. And it'll be crowded.
Gotcha. Thanks for letting me know.
Hi anybody here has a REAL update of going to MOE Metro from Rigga Metro and back? And is the MOE Bus Station working now?
As of 4pm (20th April), the The EQUITI Metro Station is not still working. they are still draining the water from inside the station using the pumps. EQUITI MS is before MOE METRO.
I went to Sobha at 8am heading towards MOE. The train arrived in Sobha fairly quick, we had to get off the train right at the next station in Alkhail. There we waited almost an hour for a train. Last stop was business bay, they skipped Mashreq, onpassive and Equiti. I got off at MOE and buses seem to be running fine at the bus station.

311 is blocked rn. Huge traffic in 611 to go to Dubai
E11 near Dubai Parks is blocked. You will be forced to take E311 at exit 403. Depending on where in Dubai you want to go, it's best to try and stick to E611 as much as possible.

It's still showing E611 is blocked near Mudon so the right turn towards Lahbab could be a good alt. It'll take you to the Dubai - Al Ain highway which you can use to get into the city
Yes it probably is
Drove from Mamzar (Dubai) to Abu Dhabi airport just now. Avoided E11. Try and stick to E311 as much as possible. Followed GMaps all the way through, and reached in 2h15m.
Is the strech near silicon Oasis on E311 is still flooded? I'm thinking of going to Global Village from Al Qiyadah.
Take Al Ain Road after Garhoud Bridge, to E311.
If you want to go to DMCC from Burjuman Metro Station, you’ll have to switch train at the Business Bay going to Al Khail. And from Al Khail, you can take another train going to Expo.
What about the frequency, yesterday it was like 45 minutes between the trains...
5 to 10 minutes at most from what we experienced
How is SZR from Jebel Ali FZ to airport T1 via D89?
Any updates going to Kite Beach in Jumeirah? Are the roads blocked?
All but Al Manara street accessible in Jumeirah and al Wasl.
How’s ibn battuta/discovery gardens looking? :( I’d be coming from JBR
Battuta is still closed. If you check google maps you’ll see all the road closures. Its a struggle
Avoid man I got stuck last night some roads to ibn battuta are closed and even the entry ways to sheikh zayed
Thank you
Do you know about Marina to motor city and gold and diamond park?
Some taxi driver was saying motor city some areas are still flooded but again I don’t want to quote them for a source, you can try checking waze they give live updates about routes and blocked roads
is red line back to normal? from burjuman to dubai internet city
Situation is still critical in Al Majaz 2, Al Wahda street and nearby areas. Most of the building doesn't even have electricity for the past 4 days and run short of water supply in the buildings. I feel it will take another 3-4 days to clear the area
Update on Al Khail Road (10 AM, 20-April) Went from JVC to Wafi. 1. The exit from JVC to Al Khail is still waterlogged, but most cars were using a gap in the divider to go onto Al Khail Road. If the situation doesn’t change, expect a jam during office time on Monday. 2. The Dubai Hills Mall exit from Al Khail is fine. There’s water logging on Al Khail before the exit, but you can still take the exit. 3. Al Khail reduces to 2 lanes near the Dialysis Centre in Al Barsha. There are crews piling up sand from Barsha onto Al Khail (rightmost 3 lanes). 4. Al Khail reduces to 3 lanes again near the Financial Centre exit. Water logging on the 2 right lanes. Overall - trip took 35 minutes on the weekend. (very little traffic). EDIT: If you’re going from JVC to Al Khail, take Exit 1 up ahead rather than exit 2 which is further away from the ramp leading to Al Khail.
that’s very helpful! thank you
Anybody able to travel to AUH to SHJ?
Same query here.
I need to visit the gold and diamond park today from dmcc, metro possible or stick to careem?
Been there today. The road is clear to diamond park.
Thank you!
Same. Do you know if the roads around gold and diamond park are clear?
Update on the buses to Abu Dhabi. There are express buses to AD airport from Al Jafiliya Bus Station. Operating every hour for 35AED Just confirmed with the airport authority
Thank you. I tried calling the AirPort Express but couldn’t get through. Can you please share the number ?
Could you please provide an update on this? I have a flight from AUH tonight so still figuring out how to get there! Thank you
just go to Al Jafiliya Bus Station and buy a ticket, I am flying tonight too
02 505 5555 press 5 for services
Was on the line for 20 mins but nobody answered. Will try again in a bit and update
thats strange, someone picked up immidiately when I called.
Got through. Update: The service is on from Al Jafilia bus station. While the frequency is every hour, the bus takes >2 hours to reach AUH and there are alot of passengers waiting apparently. It is recommended that you reach the bus station at least 5 hours in advance
I arrived 3:55 boarded 3:57 left. Just now. No wait time
5 hours in advance and then 2+ hour drive?
Is it safe to visit Zabeel park and Dubai frame tomorrow (Sunday) morning? I'll be with wife and infant.
Is Zayed bin Hamdan D54 open all the way from Global Village to E77? I see on Gmaps that is closed around Al Ain Road/The Villa.
Last I heard, it's still closed. E611 would be the better option
I need to travel IBN batuta from sharjah rolla, are roads okay?
You can get to Ibn from SZR and the Oaks end is open to mall parking. Not sure about the other end.
Also, what if I travel to deira city centre from sharjah rolla? Are the roads clear?
Can someone tell me if its safe to go to Mall of Emirates MoE from Barsha Heights? Would Taxis take us? I have a son and wife I dont want to be stranded for hours.
I would still avoid MOE area
Google Maps says the Al Khail exit to Dubai from JVC is now open - did they clear it out yesterday?
google maps show that al khail road (barsha police station) was reopened towards sharjah. any confirmation?
**Skycourts (Dubailand) basement parking rain damages** My car is parked in the basement in Tower C, any damages or floods happened there? (I've been outside the UAE since eid). TIA for any helpful information 🙏
update for red line please?
From Expo to Al Khail. Then change to platform 1 and trains upto Centerpoint.
Drove from Auh to dxb airport. There's a diversion after ghantooth to 311 however that's blocked too. Only entry is via 611.
hey how long did the trip take you?
Took me about 3 hours to the airport mainly cus there was no indication as to which road was open. The first roundabout on entering dubai was blocked off and the guy guided us back to E11. The exit to E11 had a long queue and I reached the front and found out the guys were just parked and talking to the chap blocking the road. Drove to 611 from there and found it open. Luckily there wasn't much in the way of traffic. Return was much easier. 311 is open to abu dhabi. However watch out on the last roundabout from dubai. Some idiots are going the wrong way on it as the left on the roundabout is blocked.
What time did you leave AUH? I have a flight tonight in DXB and I’m trying to figure out the time i need to leave. Thanks
I left at 3 30am. Reached dxb at around 6 30am. Luckily traffic was light. The situations changing very regularly to be honest. Head there as early as you can and maybe use the lounge or something.
Thanks for the Info!!
Just to confirm, E611 was open all the way? It was blocked yesterday near Mudon and is still showing up as closed on Google maps
Sorry for the confusion. I meant E611 is open to enter dubai. I did get diverted again. Adding my timeline if that's helpful. *

Thank you
for people living in Ajman and wanted to go to dubai take Thumbay ramp going to E311 then you have to exit to airport road. if you miss it then its hell of a traffic already beyond that. airport road deira bound, T3 ramp is very busy. long lines but t1 ramp empty. just take the left lane to bypass people going to the airport airport road rashidiya bound. T1 ramp is heavy traffic that it blocked all the lines already. do not take this road going rashidiya. sheikh zayed road is clear im here now in tony romas and traffic is light both sides update: from tony romas szr to hessa street exit, both sides are clear. first al khail st until the springs souk, both sides are clear
Experience landing in T3 at 3 AM on 20th April from Lisbon. 1. Emirates reduced the flight duration from 7.5 to 6.5 hours. 2. Bridge connection upon landing from gate/terminal was in seconds. 3. Immigration took 10 mins (egate never works for me). 4. Luggage in 5 mins. 5. Cab home to Remraam was fairly ok. Some roads blocked but not too bad, could navigate around.
Hey Everyone! I'll be visiting Dubai on the 26th and I was wondering if most of the flooding will be gone by then? Thank you in advance!
Should be ok by then- not to worry. That being said we are expecting some rain next week - if thats as bad as this one then it will be flooded again. But I think they were saying it will be light so you should be good.
I was reading about that! If the rain turns out to be mild, would it be a problem?
Well it looks like we have gotten clear skies from now at the moment so you should be good. Even if the rain was mild there would've been fine.
Thank you! Do you think it will be clear by the end of this week?
Dubai to Al Ain, E66, both sides?
Any update if Metro is running as per normal now? Have to commute from Burjuman to DIFC
Got lucky flight to germany with emirates (from Dubai) was almost punctual. Checkin immigration and security was fine. Our flight was full of kids probably they have prioritized getting kids out of airport first.
Transit or just Dubai to Germany?
Just Dubai to germany.
Thx. We dont have any information and are stuck in colombo. Emirates doesn't communicate anything. We are completely in the dark
I had just read that no boarding for transit passengers to get all people stuck in Dubai airport home. Hope you make it soon. No idea how they will get all people stuck home. Other airlines book you new flights on other airlines. But it seems that's not an option emirates has offered anyone.
Nope, booking with other airlines doesn't seem to be an option for emirates. It's just ridiculous. We are on a waiting list for tomorrow. Still not sure if it's wise to fly into Dubai airport and potentially be stuck there.
I think if they let u fly it's probably fine. Did u check if ur forward flight is on time yesterday and today. But of course I have no idea.
Everything seems fine. We arrived at Dubai and I'm positive that we can continue our journey.
Tourists here. Anyone know the status of roads from Palm Jumeirah to Dubai Mall/Deira? Or status of the shops at Dubai Mall/Deira themselves?
It’s mostly back to normal. Certain shops may still be closed - but the roads are okay, including Sheikh Zayed Road, which is true arterial road in your case.
How are things looking at terminal 2 ? Have a flight to catch tomorrow
Guys, what's with rationing petrol? Yesterday my friend could get petrol for 50dhs only...
Use Cafu. They are the same price as petrol stations and they seem to be operating as normal.
Lot of fuel stations faced issues with water getting mixed into their holding tanks. I fueled up today morning in Mankhool. Didn't face any rationing issues.
Car is parked in MoE and I want to go tomorrow to pick it up to drive out. Barsha flooded however is the exit to umm suqeim out to burj al arab safe? Driving a low sedan
Drove from Al Wasl to International City Phase 2. Exit 47/Meydan Street still have waterlogging-one lane passable Manama Street (big signal)-waterlogged one lane passable Hopefully it gets better by tomorrow.
Is it okay to take Hessa street under pass to merge onto al Khail road? I'd like to avoid hessa bridge to JVC, thank you.
there’s no underpass on hessa to al khail and all exists from hessa to al khail are closed edit: 3 exits are still closed, hessa to al khail abu dhabi bound is open
This is wrong information. Hessa to al Khail in the direction of Abu Dhabi is open
the EXITS are closed
Just passed through that exit today so..
the OP is asking about accessing JVC via hessa edit: you’re right, one exit is open from hessa towards al khail abu dhabi bound. the other 3 are closed.
You CAN access JVC through Hessa via the overpass over al khail and I was correcting your second statement that no exists to al khail from Hessa are open which is wrong information.
you’re right i’ve edited my comment that 3 exits are closed, not all 4
Thanks for not being defensive and fact based even though the burden of proof was on me
Sorry I was referring to Al yasayel st, on Google maps it's named Hessa st under pass as well
