Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has opened a dedicated cycling track extending 16 km alongside Jumeirah Beach. It connects with the existing cycling track at Jumeirah Street near Dubai Water Canal, with the track at King Salman bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud Street near Dubai Internet City. It also connects with the current cycling network that extends 520 km from Etihad Museum to Dubai Marina and passes through several Dubai localities up to Al Qudra area.

Undertaking this project translates the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President, Prime Minister of the UAE, Ruler of Dubai, to improve the wellbeing of the city, make people happier and migrate into sustainable transport means. The project echoes the instructions of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of the Executive Council, to transform Dubai into a bicycle-friendly city, which entails the provision of suitable options to encourage people to practice cycling. Overall, the project contributes to realising Dubai Urban Plan 2040 to make Dubai the best city for living in the world.
