Action Plan: The title of this series of drives, which will alternate with the Summer Sunsets' series, is a must for the month of August. The desert is at its peak, fully displaying one of its most feared traits: scorching heat. An advantage of driving ion August is that very few off-roaders venture in, leaving a very pristine environment at the mercy of the elements, mostly winds and the sun. Driving in the afternoon, at least allows to look forward to the cooler hours of the day and evening.
This second drive of the series will take us along the Dubai/Abu Dhabi border, to follow a line of long and open cordons, stretching from Faqa all the way to Ghantoot, skirting a military area and one of the UAE's main archeological digs. The drive will be following almost a straight line, navigating from point to point at moderate to high speed, maintaining the high ground as much as possible, as any good "patrol" would do to scout the surroundings.
What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn.
Approximate finish time: 7:00 PM
P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.
