Some of the best Guy in Dubai episodes were filmed outside Dubai. These five trips cover mountains, a second coastline and even another country.

Choosing a day trip

For mountains and adrenaline, pick Ras Al Khaimah or Hatta. For theme parks and culture, Abu Dhabi. For the sea, Fujairah or Musandam. Leave early: most of these drives are easier before the morning rush, and outdoor activities are best before the midday heat.
