Dubai has a reputation unlike any other city. It’s glitzy, glamorous, and dynamic, with a constantly-changing skyline that pushes ever higher towards the heavens. Regarded as the glittering heart of the Gulf, Dubai is not only a business destination, it’s a hugely popular tourist attraction too. It’s home to some of the world’s most exciting buildings, attractions, and luxury dining and shopping opportunities. Head beyond the city limits in a Hertz rental car and you’ll discover a fabulous coastline, towering mountains, and vast deserts that are just perfect for adventure travellers to explore without ever having to leave the super-smooth tarmac roads.
Dubai is a juxtaposition of old and new, from the ancient wind tower of the historic Bastakiya District and the many souqs selling everything from fresh fruit to gold jewellery, to the astonishing Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building and holder of countless Guinness World Records. Dubai is a hub for business and commerce too, and is home to hundreds of global companies, conference centres, and premium quality business accommodation providers.
Hertz Dubai Head Office is conveniently located just a short drive from Dubai International Airport, so whether you’re here for business or pleasure, it’s easy to arrange and collect a rental car as soon as you arrive.
Exploring Dubai
Dubai is constantly expanding and although public transport is excellent, it’s also very much a ‘driver’s city’, with an easy-to-understand grid road system and plenty of parking. To truly get to know this energetic city, renting a car in Dubai from Hertz is the best way to explore the city, as well as travelling beyond the city limits and out into the surrounding desert or along the coastal highway.
Dubai is renowned for its shopping experiences, and is home to a huge variety of malls. If you want a more authentic experience then souqs such as Madinat Jumeirah or the aromatic delights of the Spice Souq are a must-see.
Jumeirah Mosque is the largest in the city and fabulously decorated with Islamic motifs and calligraphy. Tours are arranged by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding and non-Muslims are encouraged to take a tour of this superb building and its tranquil gardens.
You cannot miss Dubai’s greatest achievement to date – the truly extraordinary Burj Khalifa. At 828m tall and with 160 floors, this immense building is the tallest in the world by over 300m compared to its nearest rival. If you have a head for heights, head to the observation deck on the 124th floor for breath-taking panoramic views of the city and beyond.
