dont u think roads n malls will be over crowded due to eid shopping? Since Eid would be just around the corner by that time.
I know about that traffic issue of course. But the 18th really seems to be the only day when we can get everyone together (hopefully).
Because the first 10 stations on Dubai Metro will be operational by then, I have an idea to combat traffic and parking problems that day:
For those coming in from Abu Dhabi:
Park your car at the Park & Ride at the "Nakheel Harbour & Tower" station. From there it'll be one stop to the Mall of the Emirates station (all the stops inbetween will not be operational yet).
For those coming in from Sharjah:
Park your car at the Park & Ride at the "Rashidiya" station. From there it'll be 8 stops to Mall of the Emirates (several stations that are inbetween will not be operational yet).
