This is a shame, because the country has a lot to offer besides just the big cities. It has stunning nature &amp; wildlife parks and perfect roads for any person that enjoys an adventure by car.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog post I will discuss with you what you need to remember when planning a road trip in UAE. Make sure you always drive safely and responsible. Need help to plan your travels?

Most EU and US driver\u2019s licences are accepted, but sometimes an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmv.org\/international-driver-permits.php\">international version<\/a><\/strong> is required.
