How to Distinguish
- Country-code top-level domain is .ae
- License plates are mainly white but may have a red strip on the left
- Dubai’s skyline features prominent high-rises
- The Google Car roof is sometimes visible
Signs you can find
Road signs and route shields have a distinctive look. In some areas you can spot the Google Car’s white roof.
Unlike Qatar, terrain in the Emirates is rarely perfectly flat. Eastern suburbs reveal rocky hills —beware confusion with the Omani exclave of Musandam.

License plates are mainly white, but a red strip may appear on the left. Qatar uses similar colours, so confirm with other clues.


The Google Car is distinctive—often a white vehicle with the roof visible. Even when the roof isn’t visible, expect a white body.
