You’ve just landed in Dubai. The sun’s bright but not blinding, the air smells faintly of the sea, and in the distance, Atlantis The Palm looks like a castle straight out of a dream, except it’s real, and you’re actually here. Now picture this: you’re not rolling up in a taxi or an SUV. You’re sliding into the driver’s seat of a Porsche GT3 RS. You turn the key (well, more like push a button), and that flat‑six engine clears its throat with the kind of growl that makes everyone within earshot turn around.
This isn’t just a “nice car.” It’s a road‑legal race car. Big swan‑neck rear wing, aggressive aero, carbon fiber everywhere. And you? You’re about to take it for a spin around one of the most iconic spots in Dubai.
The Palm is more than a tourist attraction, it’s a perfect playground for a car like the GT3 RS. Start from Atlantis and head along the crescent. The road hugs the water, giving you postcard‑worthy views of the Arabian Gulf on one side and a skyline full of glass towers on the other. It’s smooth, wide, and beautifully maintained. In a car this precise, you’ll feel every curve in the best way possible.
Once the sun dips, Dubai changes completely. The lights from Atlantis spill onto the road, and the GT3 RS’s bright LED headlights cut through the night like blades. Head towards The Pointe, the fountains dance in time to music, and the backdrop is perfect for some slow‑roll driving. If you’re in the mood for something livelier, cruise down JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence) where the energy doesn’t fade until dawn.
Supercar mornings are a Dubai tradition. Pull up to Flow Kitchen at Fairmont The Palm or Jones the Grocer on Palm West Beach. Both spots have great food and staff who know exactly how to treat a car like yours, valet parking, careful handling, and a spot where people can admire it. If you’re feeling adventurous, take an early morning drive down to Kite Beach, grab an acai bowl, and enjoy the sunrise.
Few things beat rolling slowly along the waterfront with the windows down, letting the GT3 RS’s naturally aspirated engine sing. Kite Beach and Sunset Beach give you that mix of calm ocean and lively beachgoers. Give the throttle a quick blip and watch heads turn. It’s not showing off, it’s just sharing a little joy.
The GT3 RS is basically a moving piece of art, so why not give it the stage it deserves? Park in front of Atlantis’s central arch for that “Dubai supercar” shot. Or head to the end of the Palm crescent for a view that takes in the Burj Al Arab in the distance. Early morning is perfect for clean, empty roads and soft golden light.
If you’re here on holiday, renting the GT3 RS is pretty straightforward. Bring your passport, your home country’s driving license, and if required (depends on your country), an International Driving Permit. Most rental companies in Dubai know exactly what’s needed for tourists, so they’ll walk you through it in minutes.
This is no budget rental, you’re looking at around AED 3,500 to AED 5,500 for a day. Some companies offer weekend deals where you save a little if you book for two or three days straight. Delivery to Atlantis or your hotel is usually included at this price point.
Basic insurance is standard, but for extra peace of mind, upgrade to full coverage. It can save you a headache in case something unexpected happens. Always read the coverage details; not every policy covers track use, even for a car like the GT3 RS.
Expect a deposit of AED 5,000–10,000, usually just blocked on your credit card. It’s released once you return the car in good condition. Most rentals come with a mileage limit, often around 250 km per day. Extra kilometers are charged separately; keep that in mind if you’re planning a lot of driving.
The magic number is 25. Some companies will rent to drivers 21 and over, but you’ll often face higher deposits or extra fees. If you’re younger, you might be better off hiring a chauffeur with the car.
This car deserves more than just phone pics. Book an automotive photographer for an hour, they’ll know exactly how to catch the light on that big rear wing or get the perfect rolling shot along the Palm.
Birthdays, proposals, anniversaries, whatever the reason, showing up in a GT3 RS makes it unforgettable. Imagine pulling up to Atlantis’s grand entrance to pick someone up for dinner, doors opening to reveal that stripped‑back race‑car interior.
In Dubai, supercars and social media go hand in hand. A shot of the GT3 RS parked in front of Atlantis or cruising past the Dubai skyline isn’t just cool, it’s the kind of content people double‑tap without thinking.
Know someone who’s obsessed with Porsches? Surprise them with a drive. Even just a passenger seat ride through Dubai Marina at night will give them a story they’ll tell for years.
Stick a GoPro to the windshield for interior views or mount it low at the back for exhaust sound. If you want something cinematic, some rental companies can arrange a chase car and a professional videographer for rolling shots.
Driving a Porsche GT3 RS near Atlantis The Palm isn’t just “renting a car.” It’s stepping into Dubai’s luxury heartbeat. The car’s race‑bred handling, raw naturally aspirated power, and unmistakable presence feel like they were made for this city.
From early‑morning cruises along the Palm to night drives through Dubai Marina, every trip turns into an event. Every valet stop becomes a mini‑photoshoot. And every rev reminds you why this car is a legend among driving enthusiasts.
Dubai gives you the roads, the weather, and the scenery to make the GT3 RS shine. All you have to do is get behind the wheel and let the car do the rest.
