Exploring Dubai Marina and Downtown in a Sports Car

Few drives match a sunset run from Dubai Marina to Downtown behind the wheel of a sports car. Here is our favourite route.

Start at Dubai Marina

Cruise along the Marina and JBR, where towers rise straight from the water. Early evening is perfect for photos as the lights come on.

Palm Jumeirah detour

Head onto the Palm and drive to Atlantis The Palm for skyline views back toward the mainland.

Sheikh Zayed Road

Join the city's famous highway and enjoy the canyon of skyscrapers — stay within the speed limit, cameras are everywhere.

Finish in Downtown

Park near Dubai Mall and watch the fountain show beneath the Burj Khalifa. A perfect ending to the drive.
