Default A song to make you feel good in Dubai

Its strange but I seem to have a great gap in memory when it comes to the 90's especially music. I do remember running through 2 of my wives but thats about it.
Not sure if its just me but sometimes you hear a song, all be it 15 years after it was released, and it just fits into a time & place.

I was driving into work this morning with Saudi Aramco radio blasting through the speakers when this song came on and for some reason I imagined I was driving from AD to Dubai in the afternoon, just perfect...

Loved these lyrics from the chorus

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved with gold
Its always summer they’ll never get cold
They’ll never get hungry
They’ll never get old and grey

Any way if anyone is driving in Dubai today, just let me know if this song works and brings a smile

My idea of driving of DXB to AUD or vice versa is:

Can't think of any song which would make it a better drive - especially if it's foggy.
