Good roads in UAE?
Discussion
Guys, I'm in Dubai next week. I have a 458 for a day, plan was to go Jebel Hafeet in the morning, then Abu Dhabi then back to Dubai.
I have just seen other great roads like Jebel Jais and Khassab.
Question is should I hire it for 2 days and do the latter roads mentioned also in a road trip? Or is Jebel Hafeet just as good?
Thanks
Jay

Just back from visiting my son in Dubai. As a joint birthday present we hired a Huracan specifically to do Jebel Hafeet and it wasn't disappointing.
The car was sensational but the combination of it and the road was incredible.
Once you realise that most other drivers are tourists, have no awareness of other vehicles and are not in a hurry it's brilliant.
We did the mountain run three times and could easily have done more.

This question come up here a lot on PH, and lots of people mention Jebel Hafeet as the place to go. Someone a long time ago mentioned Jebel Jais to me, and I managed to take the Camaro up there earlier this year, and it is far better than Jebel Hafeet. Yesterday I hired a Harley and went up there again, and having been to Jebel Hafeet a few times now, I have to say that this road is far much better.
Also once up there, you are not far from the Khassab road in Musandam - is a bit of a ballache with customs - but allow an hour each side to get through, and is well worth the drive. Only approx. 30 mins of driving/riding, but a decent enough day out.
I did take some Go-Pro footage, when I get a chance I will upload and share the link.
If anyone has any other good driving roads they wish to share, please do, as I am always looking for places to go and see and take a look. I have heard that Liwa is worth a drive, but the drive there is fairly boring. If anyone has any experience - let me know.
