The World Greatest Driving Road
Just have a look What they have created in a desert…
The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is called the greatest driving road in the world by [Edmunds.Com]. Stretching for 7.3 miles and climbing nearly 4,000 feet, with 60 corners and three lanes (two climbing and one descending), and a surface so smooth that it would flatter a racetrack. It could easily be described as the eighth wonder of the world, but almost nothing is known about its creation. The road is cut into the Jebel Hafeet mountain, the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates , the oil-rich Persian Gulf state. The mountain spans the border with Oman and lies about 90 minutes’ drive southeast of the thriving city of Dubai . It looks down upon a dusty, desert landscape that belies a nation of astonishing wealth.          |
