Action Plan: On these quiet Ramadan weekends, waiting for Iftar can be long and tiring. We'll occupy the hours preceding the breaking of the fast with a speedy drive through the diverse terrains of Faqa. Starting and returning to its sabkha, just north of the town, we'll drive into the technical area closest to Solar Park's "chimney", reach the open area just ahead of Little Sweihan, then take the way back, through Faqa's tall, long range dunes running parallel to E44 (the border with AD), to close the loop. Quite a pristine area, little driven (especially the first part), with opportunities to test the complete set of off-roading skills. 

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: 6:30 PM

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