Liwa Calling…………………..
Cant wait! Counting days… :drive:
Hey All,
Getting amped for this trip.
I am planning to drive back to Dubai from Hameem along the Saudi border then via Um Al Zamool & Al Quoaa, into Al Ain, etc. I will drive the tarmac with no planned offroad (famous last words 😉 ) . I would like to take this route to simply see what the landscape is like out there and venture to a UAE corner that I have not been to before. It will add approx 2 hours and 200Km to the trip home. If anyone would like to join me just let me know :ymhug:

Matt it will be dark just to let you know, unless you are planning to camp another night in Himeen.
Would any one want to leave the evening before around 5 or 6, and camp not far from the drive or a set meeting point ?
that way we don’t wake at 3 for a full day drive.Sebastien

True Duncan. I guess it will really only make sense if we finish around 3 or 4. If not then I would just plan to return the normal way.
