The United Arab Emirates
To begin the journey, use one of the UAE's two major highways: the Abu Dhabi-Al Ain highway or the Sheikh Khalifa highway, both of which have maximum speed limits of 160 km/h and is 124 km long. This is a terrific opportunity for car enthusiasts to let their engine growl to their hearts' content while slamming into the wind.
E11 also known as Sheikh Khalifa Road is the UAE's longest road, running 558.4 kilometers from Al Silah in the emirate of Abu Dhabi to Ras Al Khaimah in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.
Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Road, Sheikh Zayed Road, and Sheikh Muhammad bin Salem Road are some of the other names for this road.

Here are two road
trips every car lover needs to explore while being in Saudia Arabia.
Highway 65, popularly known as the Riyadh-Qasim motorway express, is a 1427-kilometer-long highway in central Saudi Arabia that was opened on April 30, 1986.
It links Riyadh and Al Qasim. This route is one of the few with a 140 km/h speed restriction. Feel the immersive experience while admiring the region's beautiful palm-tree-dense environment.
It also
offers you access to the Naisiyah Wildlife Reserve, Khanafah Wildlife
Sanctuary, Tubaiq Natural Reserve, and Harrat al Harrah Conservation Area.
Highway 65 or Riyadh-Qasim Motorway
Express
The highway
is split into 3 traffic lanes with a margin on each side (for a total of eight
lanes, six of which are traffic lanes) by a median strip. These junctions are
all grade-separated, mostly cloverleaf interchanges, with some alternative
interchange types used for U-turns or desert access roads.
The route,
which runs across the Najd plateau and the Nafud desert, has no bridges or
tunnels. The Saudi Ministry of Transport operates the route, which is not
tolled.

Al Hada is a high-altitude town in Makkah Province, western Saudi Arabia, at an elevation of 1.975 m (6,479 ft) above sea level. This is the route that is certain to make people fall in love with Saudi road excursions.
Road
15 is the name of the road that leads to the peak. It's been graveled and is
regarded as one of the most scenic and prominent mountain roads in the region. It
unites Taif with the regions to the west and north, is an engineering wonder in and of
itself.
It takes on beautiful and appealing perspectives at nightfall. The route rises
6,500 feet in 21 kilometers and 93 curves, making it both breathtaking and
magnificent.

Al Hada Road begins at the town of Kara and finishes in the village of Al-Hada, which is known for its lovely trees, flower gardens, and freshwater springs.
Did you know
that the famous mediaeval traveler and scholar Leo Africanus (al-Hasan ibn
Muhammad al-Wazan), who had traveled across most of North Africa, giving
detailed accounts of what he had seen there, proposed in the early 1600s that
the title "Africa" might have been derived from the Greek term
"a-phrike," indicating "without cold" or "without
horror."
North
Kenya
The A2,
popularly known as the "Great North Road," connects Nairobi and the
rest of East Africa with Ethiopia.
The Great North Road
The route starts in Cape Town, South Africa, and concludes in Cairo, Egypt. It facilitates a variety of commercial transactions in the locations through which it travels.
Moyale
It
accomplishes this by bypassing some of the most stunning and hostile areas of
Kenya's northern half. The 507-kilometer journey from Isiolo to Moyale leads
you through the Kaisuit Desert, across 1500m of volcanic mountains, the Dida
Galgalu Desert, and the Shinil Plains before dropping back into the hill slopes
surrounding Moyale, where the route enters Ethiopia.
Since the
heat of the desert expanses is great, vehicles usually go at night. It is more
convenient for drivers and passengers, and it also helps to decrease tyre
blow-outs and punctures.
Poor quality
tyres in severe heat and on the jagged igneous rock are a formula for constant tyre
replacement.
So, before
you plan a road trip, always remember a smart choice of good tyres and frequent tyre maintenance will make your journey enjoyable and hassle-free.
