Planning a getaway for the long weekend? Many locals are eager to take advantage of this public holiday after working through the summer months.
However, a recent advisory from DXB warns that roadworks will disrupt traffic to the airport between September 5 and 7.
In a post on X, the airport advised travelers to consider using the metro or allow extra time to avoid delays when heading to Terminal 1 or 3.
Travel agencies report a surge in demand, particularly from singles and newlyweds who stayed home during the summer while families vacationed abroad.
Many UAE companies encourage single employees to offset their leave by working during peak vacation times, making this long weekend an unexpected opportunity for a getaway.
