Dubai has stunned the world on several occasions. But carving lakes out of the golden desert and building a thriving green oasis around them has got to be among the emirate’s top achievements. A short drive from the city transports residents and tourists to a complex network of manmade lakes around Al Qudra. These include the heart-shaped Love Lakes and the Expo Lake that is carved in the shape of the Expo 2020 Dubai logo.
The Saih Al Salam scenic route, or simply Route 1 — approved and announced on Sunday — will enhance the desert tourism experience that the area offers.
It is part of a comprehensive plan to develop Dubai’s countryside approved by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Route 1 will have visitors soar over the lakes in an air taxi or hot air balloons. They can unlock a lake’s secrets in a kayak. They can also explore the golden sands of the deserts
