Full Day Fewbie Desert Drive - Sweihan Endurance Adventure: Faya to Nahil Lake - Abu Dhabi - 15 Dec 2024

Level:  Fewbie and above (all levels)

Meeting time:  08:30 AM (PLANNED DEPARTURE)

Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/acreM77zLxB2MRu76

Action Plan: In the spirit of a true overland desert drive, we'll dedicate the day to covering around 150 Km of open sand and tracks. The plan is to go from Faya to the Sweihan Pond, on to the Tilal section of Sweihan, where we'll take a break at a local restaurant, and we'll have the opportunity to refuel (if needed) then continue on to Nahil's big dunes, reaching the Pac-Man dunes (marked by the circular irrigation fields), and finally end the drive at Nahil's lake (a magic place close to our planned exit point). The route will favor the safety of the drive, and is more focused on developing the drivers' endurance skills, rather than on adrenaline and thrills, as the keys to true overland drives are consistency, mental focus, patience, and the choice of the best, cleanest routes. Along the route, we'll share tips on orienteering and navigating in open spaces.

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

Approximate finish time: 05:30 PM

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