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..
