A supercar is wasted sitting in a hotel valet line. Here are the routes locals and renters use to actually enjoy one.
Sheikh Zayed Road at first light
Before 6am, Dubai's main artery is nearly empty and the skyline glows gold behind you. It is the single best stretch of road in the city to open a car up in a straight line, legally and safely.
The Palm Jumeirah loop
A slower, more technical drive with tight roundabouts and constant sea views. Best done at sunset, when the Atlantis backdrop turns pink and orange.
Hatta mountain road
An hour outside the city, the road to Hatta trades skyline for the Hajar mountains — sweeping corners that reward a car that actually likes to be driven, not just seen.
