The most popular rental car routes in Dubai

Dubai is perfect for driving around. With its wide roads, beautiful views, and many interesting places to explore, it is an ideal city to explore by car. Renting a car allows you to explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace. Here are some popular driving routes:

Dubai high-rise

Start with the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. Next, head along Sheikh Zayed Road, the main thoroughfare of Dubai, admiring the skyscrapers and architectural delights. Visit the Dubai Mall for shopping and entertainment, and then the Dubai Frame to see the city from above.

Desert safari

Take a break from the city and go on a desert safari. Drive an off-road vehicle through the dunes, go sandboarding, and enjoy the sunset. Many companies offer tours with dinner at a Bedouin camp and entertainment.

Dubai’s сultural treasures

Visit Al Fahidi (Bastakiya) to learn about the history of Dubai. Walk through the narrow streets, see the old houses with wind towers and visit the XVA art gallery. Cross the Dubai creek by abra (traditional boat) and visit the colourful Deira markets.

Along the coastline

Take a scenic route along the coast from Jumeirah to Marina. Stop at the beaches to swim and sunbathe. Admire the luxurious hotels, stroll along the yacht marina, and dine at one of the restaurants with sea views.

Abu Dhabi Trip

Just a half-hour drive from Dubai is Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE. Visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, a majestic white-washed temple, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi, a world-famous museum with an unusual architecture.
