A tricky drive in a soft area with plenty of ridges and bowls to keep you on your toes.
The area has all the high dunes which we will visit before we finish at sundown at a point to be decided by your lead Marshall.
This area is less busy than what you are used to and so we will have plenty of trackless dunes to enjoy our sport.
Hope all can make it for some Friday fun! Adrenalin will be guaranteed.

For some of you the meeting location will be new. In this case I suggest you put the google coordinates given in the drive post in to google maps. This will give you a printable map.
The meeting location is only a 5 minute drive from badayer and is basically the second road on the right after the shops at Badayer. This leads to a small village (Al Rawdah) with a mosque. The meeting location is just past the mosque. You can also take the first right but second right is easier.
Please leave plenty of time to find the meeting point which is about 1 hour away from Dubai. :thanks:
I wish I can join the drive.. unfortunately I am away for a month :(( :((
Cheers !!
Unfortunately will not be able to attend this one due to family commitments this week. Hope to bounce back next week 😉
Enjoy guys

Hi Ahmad,
Just to confirm, if the trip is posted then it is happening. There would have to be some drastic weather conditions for the trip to not go ahead.
See you Friday. :yesss:
Hi, I have a mitsubishi outlander 2015 3.0 V6. Is it suitable for the trip you have planned?

Hi Sidarth,
To be honest I have no experience of your vehicle. But in general, if your car does not have a separate 4×4 engage then the vehicle is not suitable to offroad with. At least on my drives.
All wheel drive vehicles do have capability but your progression in offroad driving will be limited to newbie drives.
If your vehicle is not designed to go offroad then I cannot guarantee you will be happy with the state of your vehicle after the drive. 😕
Just a gentle warning. It is of course your choice. 😀
My car does have a 4×4 engage with Centre Diff lock.
