Participants then formed a convoy of supercars and drove along the iconic routes of Hatta and Khalba before arriving at the opulent Address Beach Resort, which offered a perfect setting for relaxation against a backdrop of mesmerising coastal panoramas.

The rally's crowning achievement was reaching Jebel Jais, the highest mountain in the UAE, where hairpin turns excited drivers and tested their vehicles to the limit.
