World's Greatest Driving Road
Just have a look What they have created in a desert...
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. It could easily be described as the eighth wonder of the world, but almost nothing is known about its creation.

The road is cut into the Jebel Hafeet mountain, the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates , the oil-rich Persian Gulf state. The mountain spans the border with Oman and lies about 90 minutes' drive southeast of the thriving city of Dubai . It looks down upon a dusty, desert landscape that belies a nation of astonishing wealth.

When you rip off another article like http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=109278#15 please at least provide a link. Otherwise it's just plain theft.
I've received it by email and didn't see an original post.
I was corrected
Sheesh - someone sure needs to learn a thing or two about the Internet, or go back to pen and paper.
Doing a search on this subject, and the exact text, brings up around 300 matches Ron, so I don't know why you were singled out for special attention, unreasonably so.
