Why Timing Matters: Strategies to Beat Morning Traffic from International City
International City residents face some of Dubai’s worst morning traffic due to:
• Only 2 exit routes (Emirates Road & Al Ain Road)
• School/work rush between 7-9 AM
• Construction bottlenecks near Dubai Silicon Oasis
This guide reveals data-backed departure times to save you 30+ minutes daily.
