Hi Ladies,

What's the fastest way to get from Motor City (Victory Heights area) to Ibn Battuta Mall?

Much appreciated!

TIA :)

Isn't there a back way now through the Meadows/JI? Take the JVT exit after the fuel station and head straight through to Jumeirah Islands, then turn left?

It sounds to me like it is the Green Community roundabout exit, although you can go into slip road for the Jebel Ali Turn off before the actual roundabout. Yes it is the the slip road just after the fuel station and before the Green C R/A. My son go's to school in Jebel Ali and this is def the quickest way... I have tried them all. After 3 years my car is now on self drive mode... lol. I make Layan to school in 20 mins now they scrubbed the sports city R/A out and continued ER. <em>edited by roysie on 13/06/2012</em>

Thanks, I'll give that a try next time. The Hessa St way is usually quick but you have to cross right over to the other side of Sh Zayed Rd and then back again. We went one evening for a 7pm movie and the traffic was horrendous - just like Safa Park and Meadows exits used to be like before the flyovers were completed!

I usually go the same way as Plum. Roysie is the turn off you are talking about after the exot for Hessa St? Thanks. It is the exit into Hessa st. But it says if you miss the exit you can still go on the roundabout and take the exit from there. There's no round about at the Hessa St exit.

It's a proper exit road - signposted to the Port and Jebel Ali. If you miss it you can still take a right off the actual roundabout, it's just quicker to take the slip road. On the way back, take the same road but as you approach the Green Community roundabout stay in the right lane as you can take the flyover onto the Emirates Road rather than sit for ever at the roundabout! :)

The simpliest is Umm Suqeim road then on to SZR. But Umm Suqeim Rd can be very slow at this time of the day. Another faster option (as I am not sure whether you can yet access the Emirates Rd from the roundabout shown on Mich 72's map) is to get onto Emirates Rd from Motor City, heading towards Abu Dhabi. Then take the first exit to the right (Hessa Street). Follow this all the way to Sh Zayed Rd (beware of speed camera opposite petrol station). Ibn Battuta is then signposted off Sh Zayed Rd. I do this route every morning... onto Emirates Road, exit off slip road just before greens community R/A. Continue on that road watching the speed camera. Take exit off on to SZR... off 1st exit, right at R/A, left at next R/A and IBN is in front of you. 15 mins max. lol... never use Umm Sequim if you cant help it... it would take probably 35/40 depending at what time you go!
