One&Only Royal Mirage is the kind of resort that tempts you to stay put. Sixty-five acres of gardens, a private beach facing Palm Jumeirah, and enough restaurants to fill a week without leaving the grounds. Most guests do leave, though. There’s dinner at Dubai Marina, a meeting in Media City, a round at Emirates Golf […]
Address Downtown puts you close enough to Burj Khalifa to watch the fountains from the terrace, but that view doesn’t get you to a dinner in DIFC or a meeting on Sheikh Zayed Road. For that, you need a car – and queuing at a rental desk tucked into a mall basement isn’t how most […]
Staying at the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira puts you a few minutes from Jumeirah Beach Road, Downtown Dubai, and the kind of drives that only make sense in the right car. Walk out of the lobby, and the rest of Dubai is waiting – but only if you’re moving through it properly. A rented sedan from […]
The valet at Bvlgari Resort Dubai has seen a lot of cars. Supercars, chauffeured Bentleys, the occasional Cullinan dropping off a bride. If you’re staying on the Jumeira Bay island, the arrival matters almost as much as the stay itself – and the car you pull up in sets the tone before you’ve even checked […]
Pull up to Atlantis The Palm in something that matches the address. That’s the whole idea behind renting here rather than picking up a car across town and driving it in – the valet already expects a certain standard, and a hatchback from a budget counter doesn’t quite clear the bar. Twin Turbo delivers straight […]
Eid is the one time of year when showing up in style actually matters. Family gatherings, dinner outings, late-night drives along Sheikh Zayed Road — every moment feels like it deserves a backdrop that matches the occasion. But here’s the thing most people don’t realise: driving a head-turning luxury car over Eid doesn’t have to […]
There’s a moment — usually somewhere between the Sheikh Zayed Road flyover and the Burj Khalifa glittering against the night sky — when you realise that ordinary transport just doesn’t cut it in Dubai. This city doesn’t do understated. It is spectacular. And if you’re going to drive here, you might as well drive something […]
Dubai roads have a way of demanding more from your vehicle. The wide boulevards of Sheikh Zayed Road, the sweeping curves near Jumeirah Beach, the long stretches past the Marina — none of it feels right in a dull car. If you’re going to drive this city, you may as well drive it properly. That’s […]
Dubai doesn’t do moderation. The city that built a ski slope inside a shopping mall and an archipelago shaped like a world map isn’t going to settle for ordinary wheels. Here, a Porsche 911 is practically a commuter car, and spotting a Bugatti on Sheikh Zayed Road barely turns heads anymore. But with so many […]
Dubai doesn’t do anything quietly. The skyline is impossibly tall, the malls are impossibly large, and the cars on Sheikh Zayed Road are impossibly beautiful. In a city where your ride is part of your identity, showing up in a base-model sedan isn’t just uninspiring – it’s a missed opportunity. Whether you’re here for a […]
