World's 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 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.
