If you’re planning to drive between Sharjah and Dubai, there’s a temporary change you need to know about. The exit from King Faisal Street to Al Wahda Street, heading towards Dubai, is closed until October 11, 2025 as part of ongoing road improvements.
The closure began on October 3 and will impact one of the busiest routes, especially during rush hours, as it’s a main connection between Sharjah and Dubai. With the exit shut, you can expect extra traffic on surrounding roads, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead.
If you’re heading into Dubai, you might want to use alternate routes like Al Ittihad Road or Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. These are major roads connecting the two cities.
The good news is that this is only a temporary inconvenience, and the roadworks are expected to finish on time. Diversion signs will be posted, and on-site staff will be available to direct traffic and help guide drivers.
The weekend is approaching, so why not check out top things to do in Dubai this weekend (Oct 3-5)? Whether you’re looking for exciting events, family activities, or places to unwind, the city has plenty of options to make your weekend worth the extra time spent on the road.
