On the whole, I absolutely love living in Downtown Burj Dubai (or is it Khalifa? I seem to vaguely recall reading something about this). I love the palm tree lined roads, the view of the Burj, the dancing fountain, the fact I’m literally a five minute walk away from the biggest mall in the world and the beautiful contrast between the architecture of the various buildings. However, what I bloody hate is the fact it takes me at least fifteen minutes to get out of the area any time I want to go somewhere.
The roads surrounding Downtown are an absolute mess. The nearby Defence Roundabout has been under construction for as long as I’ve been here and it’s STILL no where near completion. Add to that stupid drivers and what you get is one VERY angry Andrea every time I attempt to leave the house. Just look at this picture – this is just one example of the random road works that pop up every five minutes. The worst time is on a Thursday night when I’m desperately heading to the bar, only to find I can’t get out.
Sort it out RTA because I really can’t take it any more!
