Dubai traffic: New projects cut travel time, increase road capacity by 100% in Business Bay
A series of road improvement projects in Business Bay has eased traffic congestion in the area. A two-lane, two-way street parallel to Sheikh Zayed Road was converted into a one-way dual roadway, with updated signage and road markings. This increased the street's capacity by 100 per cent, and improved overall traffic flow. The project carried out by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) involved expanding and upgrading several locations along the street, which connects directly to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, aiming to enhance traffic flow and road safety in the Business Bay area. These will support smoother traffic flow, increased safety, and reduced travel times, thus improving the overall experience for road users, especially in high-density areas. A district that hosts a diverse mix of residential, commercial, and service facilities, Business Bay is also popular among tourists for its proximity to Downtown Dubai and views of the Dubai Canal. Earlier, some of those living and working in Business Bay had shared how during peak rush hour, they waited more than 30 minutes just to exit their building parking. Other improvements A 100-metre-long storage lane was added at the intersection of Al Mustaqbal Street with Al Khaleej Al Tejari 1 Street to increase right-turn capacity towards First Al Khail Street by up to 50 per cent. This reduced congestion, shortened waiting times, and boosted the intersection's capacity and level of service. Improvements were also carried out where the service road parallel to Al Mustaqbal Street was reorganised, and an additional lane was introduced to accommodate rising traffic volumes. This step increased road capacity by approximately 50 per cent and reduced traffic conflicts, enhancing overall traffic movement. RTA also expanded the entry point to the bridge on Al Mustaqbal Street over the canal in the direction of First Al Khail Street from one lane to two, doubling its capacity. This measure eased traffic pressure during peak hours and improved vehicle flow along this critical corridor.

UAE reinforcing its place as world-class startup hub
The UAE is reinforcing its position as one of the world's most attractive and secure destinations for startups, as fresh data and investor sentiment point to rising momentum across the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem. Mena startups raised a combined $289 million in May, a 25 per cent increase from April, with a Wamda report showing that the UAE contributed $86.7 million across 14 deals. Coinciding with the announcement, the Dubai Future District Fund (DFDF) reported more than $1.65 billion in capital commitments last year, offering strategic backing to over 190 portfolio companies. UAE-based entrepreneur and tech investor Abdumalik Mirakhmedov says DFDF's influence is part of a wider, sustained effort by government authorities in the UAE that have created a dynamic, pro-business landscape appealing to both regional and international founders. 'The business environment here is phenomenal,' says Mirakhmedov, Director and co-founder of Scalo Technologies, the UAE tech venture company. 'The government has established a regulatory framework that is so comfortable, and allows startups to build with confidence. 'The country's appeal to entrepreneurs goes well beyond funding. Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer everything a startup needs to grow - access to capital, innovation infrastructure, talent, and a quality of life that's hard to beat.' Added Mirakhmedov: 'The UAE allows us communicate with more prospective partners as a global technology group focused on fast growing sectors of the digital economy. Startups here have easy access to venture capital and angel investors. Accelerators, co-working spaces, and research centres help early-stage companies get off the ground, creating a fast-moving and supportive startup scene. Sectors like fintech, AI, mobility, and e-commerce have grown rapidly, thanks to policy reforms, long-term visas, and government-backed funds aimed at helping young companies scale.' Mirakhmedov points to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi offering the ideal setup for growth, with free zones built for tech firms, simple licensing, and no income tax all making it easier to launch and expand. 'There's also real respect here for people who succeed,' he says. 'Entrepreneurs feel welcome, and that's backed by a professional business culture and a strong sense of personal safety. As more global startups look for stable places to grow, the UAE stands out - not just for its tools and support, but for creating the right conditions to succeed.'

His son, Murtaza Boriyawala, serves as the Managing Director, infusing each project with future-forward strategy and a keen understanding of the evolving UAE market. Completing the trio is Khadeeja Bhanpurawala, the lead architect and creative force behind Manam's distinctive design language, who thoughtfully blends functionality with elegance and emotional resonance in every blueprint. Together, the Boriyawala family ensures that every Manam project reflects not just professional expertise, but personal pride and accountability. This hands-on approach reflects the family's commitment to quality and community.
