COVID19 Compliant - Morning Intermediate Desert Drive - Fossil Rock to Big Red Express - Sharjah - 7 Aug 2021


Recommended Posts

Drive Brief
This Intermediate Drive is meant to be a high speed adventure across a long stretch of red sand desert in the Emirate of Sharjah, covering over 70km from Mahafiz to Shuwaib, going through some of the most coveted off-roading areas in the emirate, all packed in a single "Express Drive" experience. 

We will start in Mahafiz, approaching, for starters, the Long Dune and then climbing to the top of Fossil Rock, descending on its east side. We will then head south, passing by Fossil Rock, Camel Rock and The Sphynx at high speed in order to reach Faya's reknown big dunes. We will subsequently border S153 Mahafiz - Faya Road to cross it at Mahafiz Roundabout and enter the Suwaidan stretch of desert that will eventually lead us to the tall dunes on the north side of 2nd November Cafeteria, which will hopefully be a pleasant surprise to most. Once crossed the road, we will dive again in the tall dunes on its west side, then head straight to Pink Rock, from where we will keep on heading south, making our way towards the Al Badayer area, climbing first "The big dune next to Big Red" and eventually the Big Red itself, before exiting at Al Badayer Interchange on Dubai-Hatta Road

This drive will offer all types of red sand challenges a driver could ask for, an all in one express shot.

Hi @Lorenzo Candelpergher I regret to inform I won't be able to attend the drive.  It was a route I was looking forward to explore.

I've removed myself from the RSVP list so the next in WL can confirm.

Have a great and safe drive everyone.

Kindest regards.
