Morning Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - Lisaili Long Range Dunes - Dubai - 28 Aug 2021

[Lorenzo Candelpergher]

Drive Brief
The stretch of desert around Lisaili offers infinite possibilities for desert off-roaders, ranging from small, super-technical dunes to long range, almost endless ridges. This drive will offer a taste of all these terrains, with a short, more challenging technical stint at the beginning followed by a faster and more "driven" one on long range dunes where most of the time will be spent.

There is however a specific place, where dunes become so high and so big that they well deserve to be named the "Mighty Lisaili Dunes". A majestic conformation which will be the perfect playground for breath-taking climbs and arduous passages, combined with neverending slideslopes.
