How the simulator plays Dubai

Each drive is built from OpenStreetMap: the roads within a few hundred metres of the route, the buildings, lanes, traffic lights, crossings and the speed limit on every street. The simulator switches to right-hand traffic and km/h by itself.

Free drives that start in Dubai run in city traffic: more cars on every road, tighter queues at the interchanges, quicker horns when you hesitate, and cream RTA taxis among them.

Signal for every turn, keep to the limit and take the right lane at each junction, and the drive is marked like a driving test at the end. Press Watch it first to see the route driven for you.

Before you drive in Dubai

  • Traffic drives on the right and limits are in km/h. Limits change often along one road, so watch for each sign.
  • Sheikh Zayed Road has many lanes each way and exits that come up fast: pick your lane early.
  • Salik toll gates on Sheikh Zayed Road and other main roads charge automatically by tag; there is nowhere to stop and pay.
  • Speed cameras are common and fines are high.
  • Call 999 for the police and 998 for an ambulance.

Questions

Can I practise driving in Dubai before I rent a car?
Yes. Pick one of the Dubai drives on this page, or any start and destination in the city up to 15 km apart, and the simulator builds that drive from the real map: the same lanes, interchanges, traffic lights and speed limits.
Does it help with the RTA road test?
It helps with the driving: lane discipline, signalling, keeping to the limit and reading junctions, marked like a driving test at the end. It does not copy the RTA's own test routes or marking sheet.
Does the simulator drive on the right in Dubai?
Yes. A drive in the UAE switches the simulator to right-hand traffic and km/h by itself.
Is it free?
Planning a drive and the 3D flyover are free for everyone. Driving it in the simulator is part of the PassRank subscription, with every route, manoeuvre and roundabout.
