AutoWeek
The UAE's motoring calendar is packed, from world-class motorsport to spontaneous weekend escapes. Whether you follow racing or simply love a good drive, there is always a reason to get behind the wheel. Here is how to make the most of it.
A home for motorsport
The region hosts some of the sport's biggest events, and the enthusiasm extends to amateur track days, karting, and drift evenings. You do not have to be a professional to take part — circuits welcome everyday drivers eager to learn.
Weekend drives worth the early start
Beyond the track, the UAE is full of routes that reward an early departure:
- Jebel Jais — the country's highest road, with sweeping mountain curves.
- Hatta — dams, mountains, and quiet roads within easy reach of Dubai.
- The east coast — Fujairah and Khor Fakkan offer coastline and cooler air.
The best weekend drives start before sunrise — cool air, empty roads, and the whole day ahead of you.
Choosing a car for the occasion
For a mountain road, you want something composed and engaging. For a coastal cruise, comfort and refinement matter more. And for a track day, a focused sports car turns a fun outing into an unforgettable one. Renting lets you pick the perfect tool for each adventure.
Plan, then enjoy
Check event schedules, set off early to beat the heat and traffic, and always drive within the law and your ability. The reward is some of the finest driving roads and motorsport access anywhere in the world.
