Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Al Aweer to Mahafiz: Ridge Riding Feast - Dubai/Sharjah - 18 Jun 2021

Level:  Fewbie and above (All Level)

Meeting time: 5:00 AM (SHARP - Without any exceptions)

Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QpQXy1bXzZ6a4qKM7

Action Plan: This will be the second drive offering a Ridge Riding feast in this rarely driven area. We will enter from the outskirts of the farming town of Al Aweer, encountering from the beginning an endless field of very long and open dunes. These will reach all the way to the other side of S149 (which we'll cross), almost all the way to Mahafiz. These dunes' ridges are quite long, smooth (not very sharp), yet wavy and irregularly shaped, and can be ridden, with care, for most of their length. Besides ridge-riding, we'll practice side-sloping, and will hone our abilities to climb, as well as exit and descend with care from the dunes' tops.

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: 10:00 AM

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