CANCELLED - Morning Intermediate Desert Drive - Wathba Fossil Dunes to Razeen Wonder Crests - 12 Nov 2021


Recommended Posts

Drive Brief
The Al Wathba Fossil Dunes in Abu Dhabi are one of those renown places in the UAE that make the cover of off-roading books and advertisements. 

This Intermediate Drive will take the convoy for a stroll across the surreal landscape of Al Wathba Fossil Dunes moving from Lane 2006 at dawn at 6:30am, so that the photography lovers will have the chance to capture the beauty of this place during the morning golden hour after sunrise.

We will then swiftly move to the south side of the Al Wathba canal, entering a stretch of beautiful, large, light sand dunes totally unknown to the most.

Progressively moving East, we will cruise across virgin dunes along a non-stop, fast paced drive, that will take us all the way to Razeen Road in an almost 90km long drive, a great discovery adventure which will culminate in a breathtaking Gran Finale in Razeen Area, the perfect terrain to enjoy high climbing, fast criss-crossings and deep dives along endless slip faces.

@Ilya, @PaoloMaraziti, @Mus_hus78@imranaasghar81, @Archibald Jurdi, @Ranjan Das, @Jorge Stepniak Felippe, @Rawad, @Arman, @JeromeFJ, @varunmehndiratta, @Mario Cornejo@Luca Palanca Falsinithis drive is going to be thrilling and exciting, but also very demanding from a technical point of view, both mentally for the drivers and mechanically for the cars, more so in the 2nd half. It will require your full and undivided concentration at every step, especially when we will reach elevated positions on steep slopes, so make sure you come well rested and hydrated and that and you don’t have any reason for being distracted. Also, please consider carefully if you wish to bring passengers along with you.

This drive is going to be a very long one, approx. 90km, all driven at a very high pace and on quite demanding terrain, especially in the 2nd half. It is essential that you reach the meeting point with a FULL TANK.

We will be using Carnity Channel 4 (446.08125Mhz)

Our meeting point is confirmed on Lane 2006: https://goo.gl/maps/5zRTU37KwvWLnuWY8  

See you tomorrow morning, ready to go (i.e. already caffeinated, deflated, flagged and briefed) by no later 6:30am (sharp), so make sure you make it to the meeting point at least by 6:15am if you don't want to miss the sun rising across the Fossil Dunes.
