What are the key local rules I absolutely
-

Hello! Smart to ask ahead - Dubai has strict enforcement and fines add up fast. Key rules: Stick to speed limits religiously (cameras are everywhere and you'll be fined automatically). Never drink any alcohol before driving - zero tolerance, even tiny amounts lead to serious penalties. Always wear seatbelts and don't use your phone while driving. Be aware of Salik toll gates (AED 4 each time) - these are automatic and your rental company bills you later. Also know that rush hours (7-10 AM, 5-8 PM weekdays) are very congested, so avoid driving then if possible. Friday mornings are actually the quietest. This article has really practical advice about Dubai driving rules: https://www.greatandhra.com/articles/news/top-5-hacks-for-stress-free-car-rental-in-dubai-151596 including traffic conditions and how to avoid fines. Following local laws carefully means a stress-free experience!
