M.Seidam Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Dear Friends Hello and welcome to Sweihan Drives IV. In this Epic version of this series the drive continues further south to start far from Sweihan ; hence the name kept Nominal from where we started at the first place. The aim is to explore areas that we never drove in before even if it has been visted by others previously. we are the desert wanderers and explorers after all ! Al Ain city and its Suburbs holds one of the most beautiful leasure areas as for out doors activities and its sand dunes ( Yehar , Hafeet , Waqan and further down along Omani boarders to al Quo up to Um Al zumoul ) all these are kept in mind and will be planned separately Inshallah. for this one the plan is to make a "horseshoe " like loop along the western side of Al ain airport coming accross few bowls like Strata , Al salamat and Al shatooha bowls before we exit somewhere on E22 The terrain is demandining but beautiful , Risky but Worth it because we are always entering the desert together and leave it together. stay tuned for more information along the comming week . cheers Seidam We request every member that joins this drive to go through the below information and strictly follow these guidelines, etiquettes and responsibilities.

Popular Post M.Seidam Posted November 5, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Dear Freinds @Charbel @Haitham Khattab @Imran Kashif @Anoop Nair @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler @Imteeaz @ASAD. and from the support team @Vaibhav @Simon Dawood and @Waqas Parvez Hello and welcome to Sweihan Drives IV . I have prepared two versions of this drive the original one with the open limb of the " horse show loop " facing south via the the bowls of Strata , al salamat and alshatooha ending on E22 , and the second version being 270 degree facing west via the old lady dune and the pickup dune ending on E16. in either version the start point is the same and what governs which iterniray we will choose depends largely on how fast we pass the initial complex dunes. so be prepared for a brisk all in one drive . concenration and undevided attension is extremily important. no less is the radio communication . having said that please get a lot of rest before the drive. please notice that the meeting time is updated to 06:15 please be sharp on time meeting point : https://goo.gl/maps/KESoRwhmMDofpbey6 The nearest and last gas stations : for those coming via E22 from E66 route its alyaher gas station https://goo.gl/maps/SXjoWXFcQVCxdTAv8 for those coming via E16 its Al Sad gas station https://goo.gl/maps/ipMuhU49xpzWnWpx9 Please ensure your radio is fully charged and fixed to radio Channel 2 ( 44603125 ) convoy list as below Cheers Seidam 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
