asifk Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Thanks @AviG ! Wadi sal was an awesome experience, with some fairly tough driving spots. Pajero did well except for the overheating issue - had to do a couple of stops along the way. Does anyone know what is the building on the plateau at the top? I tried attaching a couple if videos but they’re above the 25mb limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilya Posted November 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Visited these places recently. The Wadi Sal drive is still breathtaking and compared to last year, I would say there are more difficult sections, and more garbage on the top. Filmed this drive: Also visited the mountain trail from the southern part of this mountain - Yanis mountain - easy drive, camping spot with amazing views but toilet building was abandoned (so no facilities). Despite there being a barrier at the beginning of the road, there was a sign saying "visitors and hikers are welcome" From this campsite it is easy to see another scary road based on the UAE off-road book, it must be the road to Bakal village.Has anyone tried it? Doable? Happy to go there together Here is the overall map of the area: Edited November 5, 2021 by Ilya 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinthaka Ruwan Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I visited Wadi Sal December last year and It was amazing. Most challenging Wadi Drive so far. When I see your video it seems like the track is more difficult now maybe because of rainfall this year. My biggest concern in this drive was amount of tire damage I had. The track is full with sharp stones and it will cut your tires like a knife. Yanas drive is much easier with amazing views. Regarding Bakal village track I tried and it was impossible to do with my Xterra. I couldn't go even 100m. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it looks very bad for the tires, I felt better on my 305, but I also deflated, which helps protect the tires on such rocky terian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
