Drive and Listen: Fujairah’s Musical Road 750-meter Takes You on a Beethoven Journey!

Imagine driving down a quiet road in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, when suddenly, your car starts humming the iconic notes of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. No, it’s not your radio or a low tire—this is the Fujairah Musical Road, a 750-meter stretch of Sheikh Khalifa Street that’s turning everyday commutes into a symphonic adventure. Launched in June 2025, this innovative project is the first of its kind in the UAE and the Arab world, and it’s already making waves online and beyond. A Road That Sings Located just before the Fujairah Police Headquarters, the Fujairah Musical Road is a marvel of engineering and artistry. As cars travel over specially designed rumble strips at a steady speed of about 105 km/h, the vibrations from the tires create musical notes that play a portion of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
