Morning Scenic Newbie Desert Drive - The Grand Tour Of Qudra - Dubai - 07 Apr 2024

[Frederic]

Drive Theme

Another famous Scenic drive, where the focus is more on enjoying the terrain than on bashing any dunes. We will be covering a big portion of the Marmoom Conservation Reserve, trying to spot Oryx, gazelles, and take regular breaks for socializing and taking photos. Bring your camera, snacks, and chairs!

Starting from the border with Abu Dhabi in the South-West corner, we will make our way East towards the E66 (Faqa area). From there we will head north and top off the drive with a gentle drive through the famous Qudra Lakes.

Good morning All !

@frederic demolder@J-P L@Amal Sunil@Frederic118@RiadJL@Ali-M@Theo09@Batuhan Kulac@munkybizness

Thanks for joining this drive. As mentioned in the drive post, the aim of this drive is to do a gentle exploration of the entire outskirts of Qudra. It's the perfect drive to take the camera and family along, and to enjoy a sit-down to socialize.

Please do make sure to bring your off-road gears as per your level, and of course your trusty walkie talkie. 

We will be using Channel 4: 446.081Mhz

Take note that this drive will last a bit longer than our usual drives. I hope we can reach our destination (flamingo lakes) by 1pm. 

See you all tomorow !
