Best location for Desert Drive - cruising / bashing / camping... Would you happen to know ?

[Sam Don]

Hello Fellas! 

Been in the region for more than a decade and never done a proper offroad desert drive ( What a waste of time! 🤪)

But I really want to know from the offroading veterans here !

 

What do you think is the best desert location in and around Dubai for beginners to do some desert cruising, some dune bashing and a family camping!

(Without getting into deep trouble, because I intend to go alone except for camping) 

 

Any leads, advice, instructions are deeply greatly appreciated! 

 

Thanks,

Sam

I would suggest you join one of the drives and get a feel of it . 

Driving alone or without experienced team would be inadvisable

Hello @Sam Don

UAE desert generally and Dubai specifically is full of nice places for camping and family gathering . One of these the famous Qudra lakes . 
 

regarding dune bashing and desert driving I highly advise you not to venture alone especially if you are new to this world . Instead you can join one of the newbie drives as first Newbie . Alternatively and if you wish you can have a 1:1 master class . ( you can find the details in the carnity website ) 

best of luck and enjoy

Lisaili, Margham, Murquab, Faqa are good places in Dubai to enjoy dune driving.

• Deflate tires to 15 PSI
• Engage 4x4
• Disable traction
• Disable side airbags

Try going alone first (without family) to see how well and far you can make it alone.

Try driving around dunes and don't be tempted to cross it, as with extra LWB RAM, your chances of getting crested on a dune top are very high.

Also note that your RAM is quite powerful, so use that power wisely when it's moving.

If you apply that power when the car is not moving, you will get stuck very quickly.
