Arriving at the Belhasa Driving Centre, Hilton was grace personified as she pouted for the camera.
"I have heard so much about the place. I love it," she said as she stepped into the centre. She was there to shoot a segment of her Paris Hilton's Best Friend Forever Dubai TV show.
Gone was the traditional green jalabiya and in its place was Hilton looking biker style in a black bustier and glittering silver leggings.
It didn't take long for her to be in her element. After exchanging niceties with Belhasa Driving Center owners Sarah and Saif Belhasa, she zoomed along a stretch of learner's track in a red Lamborghini.
With a helmet firmly placed on her head, the next few minutes were spent shooting a section for the camera. But the highlight of the afternoon was when she stepped out of her car and handed over her helmet to her wannabe BFF.
The contestants fawned over exaggeratedly hip-swaying Hilton and were gleefully applauding her.
Her driving stint seems to have raised some pertinent questions for Hilton.
As soon as she was finished with her shoot, Hilton - who once had her driving licence suspended for drink driving - asked Belhasa about UAE driving rules.
"At what age can we get a licence here?" was her primary doubt. Visibly relaxing when she heard age 18, she added, "In the States, you need to be 16 years. So it's good."
