Dubai to Abu Dhabi
The 140 km Dubai-to-Abu Dhabi corridor follows the E11 Sheikh Zayed highway, a ruler-straight six-lane motorway through the desert. The drive takes about 85 minutes. There is no rail connection yet — the only public option is an intercity bus taking 2 hours for AED 25, which is fine for backpackers but unsuitable for business travelers heading to ADGM or Yas Island meetings.
