Afternoon Fewbie Desert Drive - Qudra to Nahel " Reload in Reverse " - DXB/AD 19 May 2023

[M.Seidam]

Please Read Carefully

Hello and welcome to another episode of inter emirates crossing and this time we will do the reverse of last week starting in Qudra and hopefully ending somewhere in Abudhabi tentatively Nahel or alheyer  . I thought of raising the level to Fb+ or even Intermediate , but from what i sow last week that the route can be scaled to the Fb level despite all challenges. However the very long distance from northwest to southeast with a diverse terrain to cross remains the main challenge to keep up with the pace.

please make sure from the begening of the week that your vehicle is fully ready as well as your gear per your rank. expect all sort of terrain from technical to long range dunes as well as wide landed sabkhas to cross over. very imortant to get very well rested the night before as you will need it to keep focus and attention to keep up with pace and time spent in drving. 

Note 1 : please keep an extra hour buffer in case of any delays

Note 2 : its highly advisable  not to join this drive if its your first Fewbie 

Note 3 : its highly advisable not to bring passenges not accustomed to long drives ( 100 km plus ) or known to develope motion sickness.

Note 4 : full fuel ⛽️ tank up to the brim  is a must ( the gas station is at last exit just 150 meter from the meeting point below )

Stay tuned for more info toward the end of the week.
