Dubai’s bustling thoroughfare, Sheikh Zayed Road, is set to temporarily close its lanes to motorists for a single day next week. This closure, scheduled for Sunday, November 12, is in conjunction with the Dubai Fitness Challenge‘s exciting event, Dubai Ride. The iconic road will become a space for fitness enthusiasts and record-breakers, promising a memorable day for Dubai residents and visitors alike.
Sheikh Zayed Road Closure Details
The exact timing of the road closure is yet to be confirmed, and the Dubai Road and Transport Authority (RTA) will provide further details closer to the event. However, commuters need not despair, as the Dubai Metro service along Sheikh Zayed Road will continue to operate without interruption.
Dubai Ride offers participants two distinct route options, catering to various preferences and fitness levels.
