You can always go a bit left or bit right. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sometimes, rather most of the times they are unavoidable to reach to the most YUMMIEST dunes. You will learn to trade-off buddy when you drive 3 + 3 = 6 hours on tarmac for 3 hours on insane fun in Al Wagan or Al Qua. Only if AD plan to open border anytime soon. 3 2 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving through sabkhas in between the drive is good for vehicle. Actually you make them breathe and smile. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmanuel Posted August 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Thank you everyone for this smooth drive. Everyone did very well! I’m not a big fan of numbers but it’s surprising that t you get only 17km/h for average speed? My gps shows 24-25. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
