Five scenic drives from Dubai
Some of the best driving in the region is less than two hours from Dubai Marina.
Jebel Jais, Ras Al Khaimah. Thirty kilometres of switchbacks up the UAE’s highest mountain.
Hatta. Mountain roads, the Hatta dam and cooler air in winter.
Al Qudra. Desert lakes and sunsets just south of the city.
Jumeirah Beach Road. A slow evening cruise past the Burj Al Arab.
Abu Dhabi Corniche. An easy day trip with the Louvre Abu Dhabi on the way.
