The Dubai–Abu Dhabicommute is one of the UAE’s busiest intercity routes — around 140 km each way viaSheikh Zayed Road (E11), 90 to 120 minutes in traffic. Thousands of professionals, healthcare workers, and students make this drive every working day.
Driving yourself costs AED 2,000–3,000/month with fuel, Salik and parking. Public buses don’t match private-sector shift timings, and ride-hailing apps were never built for a 140 km daily commute.
