If you are travelling between different Emirates than it is better to use Google Maps, Next time I am travelling within Dubai I will give it another go, but disappointing not to find certain points in Dubai.

After reading such an awesome and descriptive review I finally decided to download the app.
Unfortunately it does not show the traffic in Sharjah and thus indicating a very wrong time to reach the destination. Once you enter Dubai roads it shows all the traffic and accident alerts. In this respect I find Google Maps to give a better time frame as it updates all traffic conditions in all Emirates from an app called Waze.
I was also disappointed as it did not show St Mary's school or church on Oud Mehta in Dubai.
I believe the RTA app has all the ingredients for success, however its just in its infant stages and will need time to row and learn.

I grew up here and can confirm that like many parts of the world the sea served as a means of trade and prosperity here in the UAE. That and pearl diving. Like my brother @Mohamed Seidam rightly said each picture tells a story, of hard work, investment, labor and a little rest when required. It tells the story of many different nationalities, cultures, religions coming together to live in peace and harmony to earn their bread. Sadly it also does not shy away from the ugly truth about trash and message centers in Dubai. When going through these photos I was thinking about Bruges in Belgium and how it prospered when it was a port city, the beauty of that place just gets me. Thinking about these wonderful houses that were built by the rich business people at the time as shelter for the poor. What a day and age that was, must have been incredible. As I remember my early years at work back in the 1990's had its challenges, targets, budgets and all the hassles we have today, but life was more relaxed. The modern times is all of that on steroids and does not spare anyone. Back in the 1990's I was privileged to work in Deira Tower and Naif Road in Deira and Bur Dubai opposite the Shia Masjid, till the 1990's the whole market was compressed in those areas and people from far would have to come to find a difficult spot to park their vehicles as whole of Dubai used to be gathered in a single place to shop.
