Modern Financial District at the Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai

The Sheikh Zayed Road is the main road of Dubai and the Emirates, it is more than 500km long. This 2 x 5 lane express way is the main route to Abu Dhabi. We were particularly interested in the part located at the Dubai Financial District. Here you find many skyscrapers and modern architecture. We took some nice pictures from the ground level. On recommendation of a tourist out of Bahrein, we visited the pool deck of the Four Points hotel. On the 46th floor we could take pictures of the Sheikh Zayed Road from about 150m altitude. As you can see there are still buildings higher. Due to the financial crisis, construction works on some buildings have been stopped. This is a pity.

De Sheikh Zayed Road is de hoofdweg van Dubai en de Emiraten, en is meer dan 500km lang. Deze 2 x 5 rijvakken expresweg is de manier om naar Abu Dhabi te reizen. Wij waren in het bijzonder geïnteresseerd aan het gedeelte gelegen in het Dubai Financial District. Hier staan vele wolkenkrabbers en moderne architecturale pareltjes. We namen enkele mooie foto’s van op de grond. Op aanbeveling van een toerist uit Bahrein, bezochten we het zwembad- en zonnedek van het Four Points hotel. Van op het 46ste verdiep konden we foto’s maken van op ongeveer 150m hoogte. Sommige gebouwen zijn nog hoger. Vanwege de financiële crisis zijn de werken aan verschillende gebouwen stopgezet. Dat is zeer spijtig..
