For those navigating Dubai's roads for the first time, take a moment to get acquainted with the vehicle, understand the UAE's traffic regulations, and plan your routes using GPS or navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze for ease of travel.

In the UAE, driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Ensure your rental car is equipped with the mandatory safety items, such as a warning triangle and a fire extinguisher.

Dubai is known for its well-maintained roads and highways, but traffic can be heavy, especially during peak hours (typically 7-9 AM and 5-8 PM). Be cautious of local driving habits, such as sudden lane changes or fast-moving vehicles, and always wear your seatbelt, as fines for violations are strictly enforced.

The speed limits in Dubai are generally 60 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on secondary roads, and 100-120 km/h on highways. Speed cameras are widely used, and penalties for exceeding the limit are significant. Keep an eye on road signage, as speed limits can change frequently.

Fuel stations are abundant in Dubai and are conveniently located throughout the city and along major highways, making long-distance travel within the UAE straightforward. Most stations accept credit cards, and attendants usually assist with refueling.

If you plan to visit popular attractions like the Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, or Dubai Marina, consider traffic patterns and parking availability, as these areas can become crowded. Many malls and attractions offer ample parking, including valet services.
