leave 06.15am to reach HMC by 08.00am.
Thanks Mary...I am afraid now to move Shakama area...do you think that if i start 6.15am from shakama, will i be abale to reach hamad medical city by 7.00am?..still i have no idea how the traffic is flowing on that road...
Free from buses? Why would you think that? It is literally nose to tail buses and vans from 5am onwards. This morning it was stop and go traffic outbound towards IKEA from Al Waab onwards. That was at 5:30 am. It doesn't get better after that time. And getting into Hamad Medical City after 6am - well good luck.
is it?? i thought express way is free from buses..
If you leave home at 6 AM, you should be fine. If you wait till 6:15, you'll be late. Traffic gets incrementally worse every minute you delay.
The time you leave work coincides with laborer shift change and the roads get very busy with buses as well as people like yourself leaving work, so expect heavy traffic. It'll be an exercise in patience management.
