Congestion (You Better Believe It): Dubai overtakes Cairo
Dubai The city has the most congested roads in the Arab world, with people spending an average of one hour and 45 minutes daily commuting between home and work, a survey of 14 majors cities showed.
Office workers in Dubai, the region’s business hub and one of the fastest growing cities in the world, on average spend 12 minutes more on the road than their counterparts in Cairo, a city with more than 10 times Dubai’s population and notorious for traffic problems.
Booming business, growing population, high car ownership and a lack of efficient public transport are behind
congested roads, recruitment company GulfTalent.com said.
It surveyed 5,000 professionals, including 700 in Dubai and 100 in Sharjah, for the study.
The journey times are longer for those commuting to Dubai from Sharjah.
