Highway 84? But no where in your map, is any HIGHWAY 84 mentioned. There is E89, E55 and S116. So which is Highway 84?? Gulf News - more details are required...

I dont know why so far no clear maps are given on the news. The map posted here is not at all clear. I tried searching the road on Google Maps and found one under construction (they don't update maps this often ) and I feel this is the exit point from Maleha Road to Fujairah ( Coordinates 25.120553,55.941119 ). No name so far given there to the place or exit.
