Recommended Posts

Join us in exploring the Al Qudra Desert to see what's beyond the lakes, and learn the art of offroading at the same time ! This area is a very versatile playground for Absolute Newbies on their first offroad adventure.

If you have already driven in sand before then you can learn more from experts having decades of offroading experience in the UAE. This area offers a good mix of playable long set of dunes and broad ridge to test your off-road control.

Drive is open for all 4x4/4WD/SUV/AWD vehicle having 8-10 inches of ground clearance and front and rear tow hooks.

You can bring your family, friends and kids, but if you are absolute new to sand offroading it is better to drive alone first to learn offroading without any distractions.

Hi, 

I have a stock Xterra that comes with front toe only, will that be ok ?

Thanks

Stock xterra normally comes with back tow point also. Are you sure you only have front. It should be left side of your vehicle at the back.

@Ahmed Farghaly front and rear tow points are mandatory for any off-road drive as depending on a stuck we might have to recover either from the front or the back. If your rear tow point is not there. I would strongly recommend that you get that fitted first. This is for your own safety.
