Morning Intermediate Desert Drive - Sweihan Drives V - Abu Dhabi - 27 Nov 2022

[M.Seidam]

Dear Friends

Before we head guys to the YT quest on the national day holidays let’s close together the chapter of Sweihan Drives , ( doesn’t mean we will not come back again 😅),before we translocate the action to the new chapter further south throughout the whole winter, Inshallah. 

In this version we will start from where we ended last time in Sweihan IV in a route direction ( from west to east ) similar to version II but it’s souther to it ( look below pict . Green is II and V is black ) . The terrain is indeed demanding especially in the middle of it at top of NAGRAH heights . Full concentration and focus is mandatory in this drive and no less in importance the optimum status of your 4X4 vehicles .

I will be looking forward to have this closing drive with all of you. 

stay tuned !

I am impressed with how different the landscapes are, the formation and shape of the dunes are - breath-taking nature! Sunsets are lovely in the evenings...
