UAE driving is hard on cars for two reasons that often work together: extreme heat and fine sand. High ambient temperatures can push cooling systems, batteries and tires to their limits, while sand and dust clog filters, wear brake components faster and contaminate fluids if seals are already weak. This blog is a practical car maintenance checklist for UAE heat and sand , organized by when to do each check (before you drive, weekly, monthly, seasonally and after sandstorms).
