This route connects every landmark that makes Dubai famous — in a single, 90-minute drive.

Cut through DIFC for the business district experience, loop down to Business Bay Canal, and return to Downtown via the scenic canal road. It's the ultimate sightseeing drive and produces more content-worthy photos per kilometre than any other route in the city. Best driven early morning when roads are empty and the light is perfect.
