Ale Vallecchi Posted September 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 After a weekend of slow paced, finesse driving, here comes the long trek, high energy adventure. Fast, but not furious, as safety always comes first. The longest possible drive without crossing borders, from the boundary with Al Ain (Faqa) to almost Dubai city limits (Qudra Parking). Four fun areas to cross: Faqa (the "arboretum", northern side), Little Sweihan, then up toward Bab al Shams quadrant of Qudra, and finally Qudra proper. Bring your concentration (we wish the convoy to move in unison), nerve (criss-crossing will abound) and stamina (we hope to drive for about 4 hours....inshallah). More news in a few days. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Vallecchi Posted September 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 @Foxtrot Oscar and @Junaid Sayeed, just a reminder that all drivers need to have read and acknowledged the Covid-19 rules on the web site. If you have not done so yet, please acknowledge by clicking on the "Totally Agree" icon at the bottom of the rules' post. If you have already done so, I'll update my file (and sorry for the oversight). Thanks a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
