Let’s have a Drive in the Northern Emirates this time. for a change.
The Falaj Al Moalla is an area with some nice, soft and surprisingly tricky dunes that calls for some really technical driving.
There is a certain area driving from Falaj Al Moalla towards north that has a forest of Ghaf trees right in the middle of Red Sand Dunes…offering some nice picnic/ BBQ options.
The offroaders refer to it as Victoria’s Forest, basically a cluster of Ghaf trees with green grass and small shrubs with multicoloured flowers…it is a shockingly beautiful sight…right in the middle of desert!!!
So let’s go and give Victoria a visit!!!Day and date : Friday 8th of Nov. ‘2013

There have been some rains in that area in the last week too which gives rise to an almost park like vista to the area in the aforementioned Ghaf forest area.
This will make the drive even more interesting.

Is it still on if we are only this few registered by Friday?
quote GordonDK1973:Is it still on if we are only this few registered by Friday?We will see how the group’s interest evolves, most entries take place on a Thursday…as it is…
I would love to do this..but can only confirm tomorrow due to some commitments …but waiting fingers crossed…I can say I am mostly game for this..
I have to go back to Denmark this weekend, but I’ll definitely be there next Friday.
Sorry guys, I can’t make Friday as I have a friend’s birthday BBQ.
Might be out next Friday too as of some vehicle repairs, will see how quickly the garage can get it done.
Have a good drive.
Not too many coming tomorrow, 🙁
so lets do a fast drive ! :yesss:
Sorry Ahmed bhai. Have to pull out of this one. Really wanted to be there since it would be my first time in this area. Have to be somewhere near alquoz around Maghreb time. Sorry for such a late intimation.
