Questions buyers ask about Dubai–Al Ain Road.

What is the E66 road called?

The E66 is the Dubai-Al Ain Road, usually just called Al Ain Road. It also appears as the Dubai-Al Ain Highway, and in November 2018 it was named Tahnoun bin Mohammed Al Nahyan Road. It links central Dubai with the city of Al Ain in the Abu Dhabi emirate over roughly 128 km.

Where is the Dubai-Al Ain Road?

It starts in central Dubai at Oud Metha, beside Zabeel and Al Jaddaf, and runs south-east through Nad Al Sheba, Al Rowaiyah and Madinat Hind, crossing the E44, E311, E611 and E77, before continuing through Al Faqa and Al Hayer to Al Ain. Communities along it include Meydan, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Academic City, Dubai Outlet City and The Valley.

How long is the drive from Dubai to Al Ain on the E66?

The road is roughly 128 km long, and the drive from central Dubai to Al Ain takes about an hour and a half in normal traffic. From The Valley, on the outer Dubai stretch, Al Ain city centre is about an hour away.

Which exits on the E66 serve the main communities?

Exit 6 meets Ras Al Khor Road (E44) for Meydan and Business Bay, exit 14 meets Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) for Dubai Silicon Oasis and International City, exit 16 serves Academic City, exit 18 meets Emirates Road (E611), and exit 30 meets the Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road (E77) beside The Valley.

Is there a metro station near The Valley?

The nearest will be Academic City on the Dubai Metro Blue Line, due on 9 September 2029, about 12 km inbound along the E66. Until then residents drive, with Downtown Dubai and DXB each about 25 minutes away by car.

The Aquila School in The Villa, at 11.2 km, with GEMS FirstPoint School nearby and further schools in Academic City. Emaar has allocated land for up to three schools inside The Valley masterplan.

Villa and townhouse sales in The Valley in August 2026 ranged from AED 874 to AED 1,714 per square foot. Larger four-bedroom homes sit at the lower end and newer three-bedroom phases at the upper end, so price a home against sales in its own phase.
