Three lanes winding on either side of the road up and down offer staggering views all throughout. This is the ultimate driving road allowing you to experience and push the car to its limits. Traffic is usually at a minimal unless you’re visiting on a national holiday. The roads are brilliant engineering to produce a surface that is smooth, and almost completely bump or pothole free.

It’s an experience that must be felt to understand the pure joy that it produces. The ultimate car for this road would be the Ferrari 488 Spider (wouldn’t it?). But please check with your supercar rental company as most car rental agreements state Jebel Jais, Jabeel Hafeet, among other places, are off limits. You can however opt for a Chevrolet Corvette from one of our partner car rental companies in Dubai. You’re sure to enjoy a powerful exhaust note while carving up the mountainous road.
Ras Al Khaimah’s Coast x Audi R8 V10 Spyder
The coast of Ras Al Khaimah is a true beauty to behold. With kilometres and kilometres of white sand beaches, and wonderful mountains to accompany the view, this is a road that’s hard to beat, scenically speaking.

Hatta Fort Hotel x Jeep Wrangler
A road filled with culture and excitement, this is one of the best driving spots if you’re looking for the closest thing to a racetrack. The 10km road may seem short, but the sweeping curves, blinding corners and flurry of inclines and drops make this road the most exciting 10km you’ll ever drive. Take a left after the roundabout past the JA Hatta Fort Hotel and you’ll find yourself faced with this sublime piece of tarmac.

Providing you with brilliant handling out of the old-fashioned American 4×4 Sports Utility Vehicles, because everyone knows that there is no replacement for displacement when it comes to engines.
Kalba Road, Sharjah x Ford Mustang Convertible
The Kalba Road offers a direct drive from Dubai to Fujairah. While this road isn’t the most exciting, it offers you a great drive on smooth tarmac through the mountains. And on a road trip, what more could you ask for than a scenic, comfortable, and smooth journey? Don’t be put off, however, as the road does have strips of mountain tarmac, which you can glide through and have a great time doing so. Adding to this, at the end of the road, you’ll arrive at Fujairah’s spectacular coastline, which stretches to what seems like the edge of the Earth.
For this road, you may not want the sportiest car, but rather, an American Muscle. The best options could be among the ever-popular Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and the Dodge Charger. All in all, with winter approaching, there’s no better time to be experiencing the fresh air and outdoor weather of the UAE.
