Dubai is famous for its skyscrapers, but the real magic of the UAE lies in the open roads that stretch beyond the city limits. If you are renting a luxury car from Thirdride, you owe it to yourself to test its capabilities on the tarmac it was built for.
Forget the traffic lights; here are three stunning drives where your rental car can truly shine.
1.Jebel Jais: The Sports Car Playground
Best Car Choice: Sports Coupe or Performance Sedan
Located in Ras Al Khaimah, Jebel Jais is the UAE’s highest peak and offers one of the best driving roads in the world. With smooth, winding asphalt snaking up the mountain, this route is a dream for driving enthusiasts. The sharp hairpin turns and steep inclines are perfect for testing the handling and power of a performance vehicle.
● Pro Tip: Go at sunrise to watch the light hit the jagged mountain peaks while the roads are empty.
2.Hatta Dam: The SUV Adventure
Best Car Choice: Luxury SUV (e.g., Range Rover or Audi Q-Series)
For a mix of rugged landscape and smooth cruising, head to Hafla. The drive takes you through changing terrains, from red sand dunes to rocky mountains. A luxury SUV offers the perfect balance here: commanding views of the scenery, plenty of space for picnic gear, and the power to handle the elevation changes effortlessly. Once there, the turquoise waters of the dam provide a stunning backdrop for photos with your premium ride.
3.The Meydan Bridge & Sheikh Zayed Road: The Night Cruiser
Best Car Choice: Convertible or Luxury Sedan
Sometimes, the best drive is right in the heart of the city. At night, Sheikh Zayed Road transforms into a river of light. For the ultimate "Dubai" experience, take your car across the iconic Meydan Bridge (famous from Hollywood blockbusters). The blue LED waves and the illuminated skyline make this a cinematic drive, perfect for a convertible where you can feel the warm evening breeze.
