This trip will cover a lot of desert terrain. Although we will take bedouin/farm tracks for the majority of it, it will be a lot. This is not a trip for first-timers or drivers with limited offroad experience. As such, selection for the trip will be based on your driving experience with DO. The right to limit the trip participants based on participant numbers or driver experience remains. Thank you for understanding.

Aaaaa okay understood, I got confused then as it was under the DO Newbie section. Have a fun drive

Welcome everyone especially Nasir from Muscat…it is always great to have our Omani brothers join us.

I will put a detailed plan together, which will highlight the dates, times, meeting points, drive route, camp sites, etc. This will then help everyone plan for their personal requirements. If some can only join for the weekend and then need to head back home on Saturday evening this will be possible.

Please keep in mind, this is not a “dune-bashing, desert trip” rather it is an overland expedition trip to explore new terranin, new areas, and see new sights. On our drive through Wahiba, we will need to cover somewhere between 180-220Km depending on our route. This will be done however, mainly on farm/bedouin tracks and not through the dunes.

I will update with more details as the trip plan evolves.

Hello Matthew, This is a fabulous idea which will reach another level if you include a patch of dunes enroute. A suggestion, :drive:

:thanks:
