World’s Greatest Driving Road
From a height it looks like a cross between a video game and a slot-car track. As reported by Alistair Weaver and photographed by Autocar's Stan Papior "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." Weaver goes on to say "the road is cut into the Jebel Hafeet mountain, the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates… sitting on top of the mountain, is a huge palace belonging to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the current ruler of the Emirates. His face also adorns a huge banner announcing the entrance to the road and it's under his watch that it was constructed. This incredible feat of engineering is actually no more than a giant driveway." Upon which our intrepid pair put a Mini Cooper S Convertible through its paces. What could be better?
