Check out the World's Greatest Driving Road :hyper:
Just have a look what they have created in a desert...
The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road in the United Arab Emirates in the city of Al Ain it 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.

I think if the municipality here takes care of Al Jabal Al Akhdhar like how UAE did it'll become even better than Jabal Hafeet :sunsmile:
