Al Quoz desk · reviewed 27 August 2026 · Lina Haddad · civil clock unless named as thermal
READYPLAN is an independent editorial desk. We are not the Roads and Transport Authority, not a hotel, not a desert camp, and not a booking engine. When a public timetable and a sentence on this site disagree, the public timetable is the object and we are the stale label.
This page exists so a person — and a search engine — can see where numbers are supposed to come from. We do not cloak pages. We do not swap content for bots. HTML, CSS, fonts and a 40-line script all live on this host.
Official clocks we lose to on purpose
- Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) — metro, buses, marine, Salik policy notices.
- Nol — card types and top-up rules.
- Salik — road-toll gates and tariffs.
- UAE Government portal — visas, Ramadan public guidance, national notices.
- Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre — visitor hours, dress, closures for prayer.
- Louvre Abu Dhabi — museum clock, not a postcard.
- National Centre of Meteorology — air temperature; not pavement temperature.

Why outbound official links matter to a crawler
A compromised brochure often points at spam. A publisher points at the institutions that can prove it wrong. RTA, Nol, Salik, u.ae, SZGMC, Louvre Abu Dhabi, NCM: those are the clocks. We would rather lose to them in public than invent a closed loop of self-citation. If an official URL moves, write us; do not treat a 404 as a conspiracy.
We do not wrap those links in redirectors. rel=noopener noreferrer is manners, not cloaking. Click them. Read them. Then read us as a hypothesis.
