Dubai: Monday, January 14, has been declared a holiday for ministries, government establishments, schools and private sector companies in Dubai due to the closure of some main roads, bridges and tunnels. Official sources urged all residents to avoid using main roads on Monday.
Another holiday?!?
Nah, it's a working day for me, 'coz i am posted in Sharjah...
Hubby got his off today but still have to be in the office in the morning for some urgent work...
Good thing they have announced the holiday a day prior the event, though some speculations arises due to heavy traffic flow in Dubai yesterday which is least expected by both motorists and commuters... Traffic was congested due to road diversions as part of the government preparation for the arrival of the U.S. President...
Hmmm, i wonder whats happening in Dubai Roads by now...
