E 311 road, road in the United Arab Emirates
E 311 is a major highway stretching about 140 kilometers from Abu Dhabi to Ras Al Khaimah, connecting neighborhoods, industrial areas, and airports across the emirates. It features multiple lanes and modern traffic management systems to facilitate smooth travel between cities.
The road was originally built as Emirates Road to divert traffic from congested city streets and provide trucks with faster routes between emirates. In 2013 it was renamed Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and expanded significantly to become a key national infrastructure connector.
The road has been named Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road since 2013 to honor Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince. The naming reflects the country's emphasis on growth and modernization.
Travel is more comfortable outside rush hours, avoiding early mornings and late afternoons when traffic is heaviest, particularly between 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM. Petrol stations and rest stops are located along the road offering fuel, food, and facilities for travelers.
The road connects a variety of attractions including Global Village, Dubai Parks and Resorts with Legoland and Motiongate, and the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve where gazelles and other desert animals roam. Visitors can explore multiple different environments on a single route, from busy theme parks to peaceful nature reserves.
