Are you planning to fly out for the long weekend? Many residents are making the most of this public holiday after working through the summer.
However, a new advisory issued by DXB on Friday states that roadworks will affect traffic flow to the airport from September 5 to 7.
In a tweet on X, the airport advised travelers to either use the metro or “allow extra time” to avoid unexpected delays if heading to Terminal 1 or 3.
Travel agencies have reported strong demand, especially from bachelors and newlyweds who stayed back during the summer while families traveled abroad.
Many companies in the UAE encourage single employees to balance their leaves by working through the peak vacation season, and this surprise long weekend has created a window for them.
