If there’s one thing you’ll never run out of in Dubai, it’s places to visit. Here are 4 good reasons first-time visitors like you should rent a car in Dubai.

1. Camel Racing Track- camel racing? believe it. Drive to the race track in the winter, when the races are held on Thursdays and Fridays. Check out the paddocks and vendors too. You won’t be able to buy a camel, but you can get amazing deals on blankets, rugs, beads, and souvenirs.

2. Burj al Arab Hotel – Do you want to see how the really rich live? Look at the Burj al-Arab! The only 7-star hotel in the world, the Burj presents the theme of luxury like no other. Believe it or not, you will need a reservation just to get into the hotel! If you want to stay there for a day or two, you will need to reserve your room at least a month before your stay. Crazy huh?

3.Bastakiya District- For a glimpse of Old Dubai, visit the Bastakiya district. When you get tired of marveling at the traditional-style buildings, you can visit the many cafes and galleries that dot the area.

4. Desert Safari – What visit to this emirate is complete without an episode or two of dune bashing? However, regular vehicles will not be enough for this adventure in the desert. For this trip you will need to rent an SUV or a Hummer H3 and a Desert Driver. The driver will then take you on a roller coaster over the sand dunes. A luxurious dinner and a spectacular view of the sunset culminate this safari.

These are just 4 of the many places where car rentals in Dubai will come in handy. Naturally, there are more, so take the time to read up on these places and get an up-to-date map as well.
