Most roads across the UAE were running smoothly and relatively traffic free on Sunday morning.
Access seemed to be clear in the capital and traffic on the E11 was smooth, with no congestion reported between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Commuters faced minor delays in Dubai this morning, with the usual hold ups on the E311 Mohammed bin Zayed Road.
Slight delays were also reported on D71 Financial Centre street.
Traffic started to build-up on Al Ittihad Roads in Sharjah, but no major jams had been reported early on.
