    This area is further down towards Al Faquaa itself. The area is fine to drive in for now……………..Last time was Murquabb close to Lisailli.

    Quite right…I have my Dubai-Al Ain highway exits confused.

    Hopefully the schedule allows me to make the drives this weekend.

    This was a fun drive, started off as 2 convoys of about 7-8 cars in each convoy, but within like an hour and half, after couple of pop outs and getting stuck, we made this into a single convoy of 15 cars !!!! went through some tricky high dunes and steeeeeeeep bumps…… all in all it was a fun drive and enjoyed it a lot. Lets have some more blast next weekend.. Thanks to Firoz, Razik, Rakesh and all for your support. :thanks: :thanks: :drive: :drive:

    Guys, please upload the pics you took to PinBoard :drive: :drive:

    As usual it was a interesting and enjoyable drive.

    Some tricky little dunes and soft sands.

    Overall a good drive and some recovery as well as the dark drive on the way back .

    Many thanks to the marshals and our sweeps
