Hence commuters have an alternative to taking their car out or there are multiple highways/motorways and the toll expressway is used only by those who need to reach someplace urgently. In Dubai, the Metro is still minimum three years away, alternate routes are still under construction, you purchase a parking card from the Dubai Municipality but circle around for hours, searching for parking due to dearth of parking lots. I could go on and on, but end with echoing your words "I do love the UAE"!!Arifa Hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05518273074484512552noreply@blogger.com
