Cancelled - Morning Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - Bu Tais Exploration Drive 1 - Abu Dhabi - 24 Nov 2024

[Looper]

DRIVE PLAN

This would be the first time I would be driving in this area, hence the exploration drive. It is further away than most of our drives, almost near the area where DCT was held, so I would recommend that members arrive the previous evening and camp at the spot however reaching there in the morning is possible as well. If I would camp, I would be on a light camping setup and will update the camping spot on Saturday.

Unless camping this is 2:30 min drive from Dubai to reach + nearest fuel station is about 68km away at ADNOC Al Faya (891). Please let me know if we change the meeting time to 7:30 am or 8:00 am. If your car has 60l fuel tank I would suggest to extra carry fuel ~20l. 

1. Do let me know if you are camping.
2. Do let me know if you want to have a slightly later time irrespective.

I have added a poll ...
