Where is Dubai located in and How to drive there ?

If you are taking a car rental Dubai during your stay, the driving is on the right of the road, meaning all cars are left hand drive. Dubai is a real vibrant city in the Gulf and you will certainly come across different driving styles than the ones we have in Europe or USA despite roads being well-signposted.

Dubai is doted of an excellent networked road usually with fast & wide 2 to 4 lanes of premium quality.

Finding routes while driving is not a quite simple option for Dubai, the best is getting a comprehensive guide or map of Dubai & surrounding, will be well worth buying.

When driving in Dubai, bear in mind that drink driving is a serious offence and will result in a prison sentence (could be a month or more!) and using mobiles, cellular phones are illegal while driving.

Hire a car in Dubai is another convenient way to explore the city, integrating the part of touring for the sightseeing of the United Arab Emirates and also in a sense, an economical way too. Don’t forget that in most of cases a credit card and driving licence are required if you are renting a car, at your airport arrival.

The minimum speed limit is 60 km on major roads, and you must avoid driving through Dubai roads at the peak working hours like first morning and early afternoons, due to heavy traffic in the prime parts such as the roads around Jumeirah Beach and Deira, and of Dubai surrounded cities.

If you are interested in particularly exploring in deep the Mountains and the Desert regions, it is recommended to go for a 4x4 for the off road terrain rugged and rocky.

And if you intend to travel long distances, keep an eye on the tank as service stations, petrol, or gas stations are few and far between in remote areas on many desert roads!
