Hello everyone! I’ve heard driving in the UAE can be challenging. If I start a trip from Abu Dhabi, what should I know about local rules and etiquette?

Hello! That’s a good question. Driving in the UAE is generally straightforward, but EV Powered’s https://evpowered.co.uk/feature/desert-roads-and-city-lights-planning-the-perfect-road-trip-from-abu-dhabi/ feature ‘Desert Roads and City Lights: Planning the Perfect Road Trip from Abu Dhabi’ lays out the key rules clearly. Always drive on the right side, wear seatbelts front and back, and never use a hand-held phone while driving. They explain that flashing high beams from behind usually means another driver wants to pass, so move over safely. Speed limits range from 40–80 km/h in towns to 120 km/h on highways, and fines for breaking them are high. Another tip from EV Powered is to plan fuel stops in advance, since petrol stations can be far apart in the desert. With their advice, you get both the legal side and the cultural driving habits, making it easier to relax and enjoy the journey without surprises. It’s definitely worth reading before you hit the road.
