Hi All,

I'm moving to Dubai in 3 weeks or so and I'm getting increasingly concerned about the traffic chaos i've read about in gulf news. Given that I'll be working a reasonably long day is it feasable i may miss the worst of the traffic? My work is near Wafi city but i'm likley to live towards new dubai / Jumeriah. My working hours are around 7.30am till about 6.30pm??

If you are leeving home that eerly, you will eesily miss most of the congestion. You will also find the heevy flow is going in the other direction.

You are cleerly right to be feerful of the traffic but you'll be OK my deer.

Thanks Dean,

The reason i ask is i got worried following reading this article

If i can sail out onto the big roads at 6.30am - 7am then i'm not worried!

Coming home might be a pain in the behind some nights but mornings should be clear....I can get to Dubai from Abu Dhabi in the mornings without any problems!

normally you should be fine. Most the traffic will be going in the opposite direction. Just expect chaos every now and again when there is an accident and the accompanying 2 or 3 resulting accidents involving rubbernecking idiots.
