Car hire Dubai

Located on the edge of a desert, oil rich Dubai is a popular city tourist attraction. It is part of the United Arab Emirates on the end of the Arabian peninsular and the powers that be have spent billions making it more attractive. There are white sand beaches, excellent shopping, and seven star hotels. Cheap car hire Dubai is also not a problem.

The main appeal of Dubai is its dazzling coastline where there are many sandy beaches and good facilities. All types of water sports can be had here, plus you could take a drive across to one of the Palm Islands which have been in the press a lot of late. Other major Dubai landmarks are the old Bastakiya district, with its bustling markets, and the architecturally rich Shindagha district.

The Dubai Museum is worth checking out for an insight into the city's growth, while Dubai Creek also takes a look back in time. Other top attractions you can drive your budget rental car to include the resplendent Jumeirah Mosque and Dubai Zoo. If it is too hot for all of this, the Dubai Water Park and the recently built ski centre may be more appealing.

Shopping is what Dubai does best. There are numerous world class, glitzy malls in all corners of the city. They generally come with eating and cinemas to boot and the Ibn Battuta Mall is one of the best. For a bit of nightlife, you'll need to head to Dubai's top international hotels where drinking is permitted.

Although there's not much driving to be had in Dubai, cheap Dubai car hire makes sense for getting about to escape the heat and hassle of using public transport. Those into scuba diving should drive over to the neighbouring Fujairah emirate.
