Morning Fewbie Plus Desert Exploration Drive - Al Jabib to Faqa: The Reopening - AD/Dubai - 2 Oct 2021

Level:  Fewbie plus and above 

Meeting time: 6:00 AM (SHARP - Without any exceptions)

Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/V1s5p28WZHdvNQp1A

Action Plan: With the removal of the border checkpoints comes the opportunity to roam freely between the emirates. We'll start from the Al Ain's side of Faqa, exploring a route connecting the village of Al Jalbib to the area of farmsteads bordering the E20, then, time permitting, we'll turn back toward the E14 road, with the goal of crossing into the dunes of Faqa's plateau, and eventually reach Faqa town, or the nearby sabkha.

The skills most in demand will be patience, as always on exploration drives, together with the ability to adapt to many different driving styles: from technical maneuvers, to faster bowl riding and criss-crossing.

Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face mask, rubber gloves, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time: 10:30 AM

P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.
