    Let’s head out into the wadis to explore some of the UAE’s beautiful offroad and rugged landscape. The drive will be relaxing and enjoyable. If you are new to wadi driving this would be a good one to cut your teeth.

    You should have all-terrain/offroad tires that are in good working order. You should also have a good working spare tire and the necessary tools to change your tire. The terrain is teeming with sharp rocks so cuts, rips, & punctures are par for the course.

    The trip is limited to 10 cars excluding Marshals & Deputies.

    I look forward to seeing you in the wadis!
