RAK road to be completed by end of the year



A main road in Ras Al Khaimah will be completed by the end of the year, the Minister of Public Works has promised.

At Tuesday’s FNC session, Abdullah Al Nuaimi said Shamel Al Qasedat was still being built after it was damaged by heavy rain at the end of last year.

With no alternative route available, the road was partly opened for public use. The premature opening and heavy rain caused the damage seen by council members, Mr Al Nuaimi said.

He said building work on the 9-kilometre stretch would be finished by the end of the year. He said this road was one of the hardest to build in the country.

Business Insights
  • Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
  • The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
  • US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs

How to wear a kandura

Dos

  • Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion 
  • Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
  • Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work 
  • Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester

Don’ts 

  • Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal 
  • Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
