The Dubai Tourism and Commerce Department introduces ways to enjoy driving from the city's skyscrapers to the ocean, mountains, and desert, as well as tours where you can drive authentic racing cars, an experience not available in Japan.
The cold winter is finally coming to an end, and the weather is now perfect for refreshing drives. The Middle East and Dubai also enjoy warm weather this time of year. Unlike Japan, Dubai uses left-hand drive and drives on the right side of the road. However, for short-term stays such as sightseeing, obtaining an international driver's license before leaving Japan allows you to drive yourself. There are many ways to enjoy driving, from renting a car among the skyscrapers and along the coast, to taking 4WD driving lessons with a professional driver in the desert, to driving while observing wildlife. We also offer unique and authentic driving experiences, such as tours where you can actually drive supercars like Ferraris and F1 racing cars. This article summarizes the various driving experiences you can enjoy in Dubai.
In addition, during this season when many people retire or start new lives, we introduce two visas that allow long-term stays in Dubai. We offer a Retirement Visa for retirees aged 55 and over, and a Virtual Working Program for working expats.
In addition, artist and philanthropist Sacha Jafri's artwork, "The Journey of Humanity," which took him seven months to complete, has set a Guinness World Record as the world's largest art canvas, measuring 1,596 square metres. We'd like to share more about this project with you.
