Morning Intermediate Desert Drive - Little Liwa - Abu Dhabi - 1 Oct 2021


Srikumar

Recommended Posts

Drive Info

Little Liwa is an off-roaders paradise with massive bowls, razor sharp ridges and long hill climbs. Nested within the town of Sweihan, this drive would be a prelude of terrain that one can expect in Liwa Oasis. There are places where the sand would break faster than the descent of your vehicle with a rumbling sound which is a specialty of this area. With the opening of the Abu Dhabi borders and just slightly more than an hour drive from Dubai, this is the perfect playground for driver and vehicle.

Thanks for signing up for the drive and look forward for an amazing Intermediate drive in Little Liwa (Sweihan).

The plan is to enter from an area some of us refer to us as Africa. As there are some monstrous dunes at the entrance, the pace would be set from the word go. Depending on how we progress we would then plan to move southwards to the town of Yahar and pay a visit to the Old Lady Dune.

Meeting point has been updated on the Drive post as well as the calendar event.

The meeting point has been moved back a few meters because I just realised, in the past Google Maps plays a bit of mischief and leads you through the desert to the original meeting point.

I have updated the original post as well as the calendar event

Revised Meeting Point

At the meeting point you will see a gate in front. The password is Abracadabra.

Say it for the gate to open, come a bit forward and park the car on the right side.

See you in the morning.
