In this view, going upwards on this road takes you to Dubai whereas downwards is towards Abu Dhabi city.
The area to left of this highway (in this view) is Al Rahba. It is a township on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi city. Almost all houses in this area where gifted to the citizens by the late ruler of Abu Dhabi and the UAE president Sheikh Zayed. He was a real generous man who really looked after his people.
