JEBEL HAFEET MOUNTAIN ROAD...
The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the greatest driving road in the world. Stretching for 7.3 miles and climbing nearly 4,000 feet, it boasts 60 corners 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. We've got two days in which to explore this mountain in a Mini Cooper S Convertible, which is something of a novelty in this part of the world. In the UAE, the BMW 7 Series outsells the 5 Series, which outsells the 3 Series. Everything here is big and ostentatious, so the sight of two Englishmen in a "hot orange" Mini Cooper S Convertible is a source of some amusement.
