Eid Al Fitr travel rush: Heavy traffic expected at Dubai airport, RTA advises alternative routes

The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has issued a warning to motorists about potential traffic congestion surrounding Dubai International Airport during the Eid Al Fitr holiday.

The RTA anticipates a significant increase in passenger traffic, which will likely cause delays on Airport Road, Rashidiya Road, and access points to the airport's departure halls.

Motorists not traveling to the airport are advised to avoid these routes during peak travel times, specifically from 4:00 am to 10:00 am and 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm.

To ensure a smoother commute, the RTA recommends using alternative routes such as Sheikh Rashid Road and Nad Hamar Road.
