Hi @Mike M. please don’t underestimate these kinds of drives, as we will be doing 100+ Km. It will be a long day and for small kids perhaps not very enjoyable. If they are ok with long drives then of course you’re welcome to bring them along. 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Frederic Posted November 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 @Mike M.@Jaro Tuzinsky@Patrick van der Loo@Nikola Bozovic@Bjoern@Anoop Nair @Patrick van der Loo@Nikola Bozovic@Bjoern@Anoop Nair@Brett Eicher@Yaseen87@Ashutosh Garg@Adnan Halepota Thanks for signing up to this overlanding trip through Abu-Dhabi ! A small screenshot below shows you the plan: a long crossing from East to West, comprising of some of the most beautiful desert areas UAE has to offer. As this drive is an overlanding style of drive, we will be driving "differently", as we will not be sidesloping or criss-crossing too much but rather try to accomplish the entire challenge before evening. The reward will be reaching our destination with the entire convoy ! Some information about overlanding here: Please make sure your vehicle is in tip-top condition, and you are fully refueled when you reach the meeting point. Bring some snacks and ready to pack lunch as we will be taking a small lunch break. See you all soon ! 2 2 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."
