The drive would be insane after a couple of weeks

Hey Stranger, how have you been?

Very well thanks O Wise One !!

How about you?

Doing just gr8, just got back from a couple very enjoyable weeks in Texas.

Hmm. Guess i will hitch a ride with my friend. The main problem is stress. I have to put up with time wastage..can't help with that. Thankfully, it's only for a week.

JH to Sharjah much easier drive than AUH-SHJ. Several ways to get into SHJ from Al Ain with less traffic than AUH-SHJ route. Distance in km probably similar.

AUH Downtown to Garhoud Bridge is 150 km, Jebel Hafeet to downtown Sharjah is 150km as well. On top of that there are very few traffic lights in Alain, so you can leave the city easily, whereas getting out of downtown AUH takes quite a bit fo time due to the numerous traffic lights.

Yeah, what's up with that? I had been to AUH a 6-7 months back and the traffic lights were as common as McDonalds. The government just loves 'em, don't they? Heh.

Al AIn loves its roundabouts

...and Fujeirah loves its speed bumps
