Many huge investments have been poured into realestate, tourism and leisure, with developments such as Masdar City and Saadiyat Island, bringing Abu Dhabi’s status as an emerging market. These developments are particularly evident in the larger emirates of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

The United Arab Emirates has an extensive road network that connects all major cities and towns. Although a recent consensus has not been produced, the most recent from 1998, suggests that the entire expressway network is 1,088 kilometres, and later connects with the GCC wide road network in Saudi Arabia. Roads in the Western and southern region, are still relatively undeveloped. Those are highly dangerous roads passing through desert regions and many are still unsealed, gravel roads. This has resulted in the continued use of airplanes as the main or alternative mode of transportation for the residents. .
