Answer:
Paved highway didn't exist until the late 1960s.
The first paved road built with the intent of people using it — other than city streets in Dubai itself — was between Dubai and Ras al-Khaimah. Construction started in 1966-67.
The UAE didn't pay for its first major highway. Saudi Arabia did.
This road between Dubai and Ras al-Khaimah was a political project to create greater unity among the Trucial States. The British had to show they supported development projects but it was Saudi Arabia that had the money and built the road.
