UAE Travel & Routes guides

Distances, drive times and costs between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Al Ain and Hatta.

The UAE is small enough to cross in a morning but the roads, tolls and traffic change at every emirate line. Salik applies in Dubai, Darb in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah has none, and the morning jam on the Dubai–Sharjah roads can double a journey. These route guides give real distances, drive times by hour of day, and an honest comparison of bus, taxi, rail and private car for each trip.

For bookings, see Chauffeur Service Across the UAE. All guides are written by Arshad Hussain, who has run chauffeur operations in Dubai since 2014.
