The cabin feels like business class on a plane

The Mercedes S-Class AMG feels right at home in Dubai. I get behind the wheel and immediately realize this car is made to pamper you. On Sheikh Zayed Road, the ride is astonishingly smooth: even when the road is uneven, it’s so quiet inside that sometimes I catch myself thinking we’re standing still. In traffic, the air conditioning works discreetly but powerfully—you don’t feel the heat at all. When I drive to meetings, I always arrive calm and refreshed, even though traffic here can be rough. On the highway, the car practically glides, and the speed feels lower than it really is. It’s easy to handle despite its size, and the cameras and driver-assistance systems make parking stress-free.
