The drive from Dubai to Abu Dhabi is one of the easiest road trips in the world — a straight, well-lit highway that takes under 90 minutes at the legal limit.
What to rent for the drive
A comfortable GT — something with adaptive cruise control and a quiet cabin — makes the highway stretch effortless, leaving you fresh for a full day of sightseeing.
A simple one-day itinerary
- Depart Dubai by 8am to beat the heat
- Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque — allow 90 minutes
- Lunch on the Corniche
- Louvre Abu Dhabi in the afternoon
- Drive back before sunset traffic builds
