Sheikh Zayed Road in Old Dubai~A Brief History of the Dubai - Abu Dhabi Road~

Sheikh Zayed Road is a Dubai Icon that ranks alongside the Burj Al Arab, Burj Dubai and Palm Island. But in Old Dubai there was no official road between Dubai and Abu Dhabi - just sand tracks along the beachline.

No Road! Just Sand! Get Lost!
In 1971 cars could travel easily from Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah along a newly constructed single carriage highway(Sheikh Zayed Road) paid for by Saudi Arabia. No similar road existed between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Instead cars had to follow sand tracks along the beachline. There was the risk of getting lost or stuck. Most travelers relied on Taxis with drivers who were familiar with the sand tracks. There were no Mobile Phones to call for help if you took the wrong sand track!
