Morning Newbie Desert Drive - FAQA "THE OTHER SIDE" - 9 Jan 2021

Drive Details

Level:  Newbie and Above

When:  9 January 2021, Saturday.

Meeting time: 6:30 AM (SHARP - Without any exceptions)

Action Plan: We will be looking to drive through long range dune, reaching the heart of Faqa's higher cordons, before descending into more long range dunes, on the other side of this "plateau". Driving will focus on navigating the dune corridors, straight crossing them when needed, and practicing side-sloping, where possible. Occasional "technical" areas of closer, lower dunes, may require finesse in driving.

Meeting Point: https://maps.google.com/?q=24.727729,55.558290

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), face mask, rubber gloves, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time: 11:00 AM
