PLEASE READ THE BELOW INFORMATION IN FULL
This is going to be a fun drive in Sweihan from Al Ain Airport to Nahel. It is an intermediate drive but there are certain fewbee members who are capable to make the drive but are awaiting upgrade. If you think you fit into this category please email or call me to join.
The drive will begin at 7.30am which means that you will need to allow 1.5hrs to reach destination including a petrol stop.
These are the best locations to refuel: N24° 16.078′ E55° 44.462′, N24° 14.751′ E55° 43.239′.
The drive will finish either in Sweihan itself or Nahel and will finish before main prayer. Both locations have mosques.
If you have any questions please feel free to call me.
The meeting point is at the end of Al Ain Airport and so you just follow the signs for the airport and at the main entrance turn right and proceed straight to meeting location. Please see above for fuel locations as there is not one at the meeting point.

No problem Bahaa. If you can please unregister from the drive.
Looks like we have a great convoy for tomorrow Sweihan drive 😀
We currently have 5 cars and in this area I do not wish to drive with less for safety reasons.
Therefore, I ask that all registered please make every effort to make the drive and if not possible, please confirm by tonight as not showing up as has been happening on the morning drives is not appreciated especially when the drive depends on minimum numbers. :thanks:
Otherwise see you tomorrow for some fun in the sands…….. :drive:
i am 50/50. Just getting the car checked out to make sure it’ll be ok for the drive.
will let you know later tonight.
