IFA — Dubai office · Dubai · GCC
From Dubai, IFA develops autotourism across the UAE and GCC and is open to cooperation with public authorities, tourism organisations, the automotive sector and road-infrastructure partners.
About IFA
The International Federation of Autotourism is a public foundation and non-profit organisation registered with the Ministry of Justice in 2002, with its head office in Central Asia. The UAE office is operated by IFA International Auto-Tourism Service L.L.C-FZ, a Dubai company.
Open to cooperation across the UAE and GCC
Our Dubai office welcomes dialogue with public authorities, tourism organisations and road-infrastructure providers on safer routes, traveller information and practical services. These are areas of proposed cooperation, not a claim of government endorsement.
About us→IFA Route Development
Three focused route concepts anchored in the UAE and built around real GCC road connections. Distances are indicative; border, insurance and service conditions are verified before publication.
ROUTE CONCEPT
Dubai · Hatta · Muscat · Nizwa · Al Ain
A mountain and heritage circuit linking Dubai, Hatta, northern Oman and Al Ain, with border, insurance and heat-readiness checks built into the route brief.
ROUTE CONCEPT
Abu Dhabi · Al Batha · Riyadh · Al Khobar · Manama
A long-distance capital-to-causeway corridor focused on border timing, vehicle authorisation, insurance continuity and fatigue-safe staging.
ROUTE CONCEPT
Abu Dhabi · Al Batha · Riyadh · Salwa · Doha
A two-border GCC circuit linking the UAE with Doha through Saudi Arabia, designed around licence recognition, insurance, entry permissions and dependable rest stops.
Road rules · country briefings · rental readiness
Evidence-led IFA guidance for driving in the UAE and across the GCC: speed enforcement, fines, visitor documents, rental policy and border preparation.
Why Dubai's widely discussed radar margin is not a lawful speed allowance — and why Abu Dhabi's posted limit is the enforcement threshold.
