Source-derived summary

E 44 (Arabic: إ ٤٤) is one of the main roads of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The road connects the city of Dubai to the town of Hatta, an exclave of the emirate of Dubai. E 44 assumes multiple names; in Dubai, the road is named Al Khail Road, between E 311 and D 68, Ras al Khor Road between D 68 and E 311, Al Aweer Road between E 311 and E 77, and Dubai-Hatta Highway for the rest of the road. E 44 is disconnected in Al Madam by Al Rawdah region of Oman; the road reconnects in Masfout, runs to Hatta and ends in at Hatta Border Crossing . In February 2024, the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) awarded a contract worth Dh700 million for significant upgrades on Al Khail Road.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
