Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Lisaili to Qudra Secret Dunes - Dubai - 23 Aug 2025

[Emanuel]

Join us for an exciting offroad drive starting near Lisaili, opposite the truck stop area. We'll explore long-range dunes between the camel practice track and Margham farms, with minimal vegetation and likely camel sightings.

The route follows the pylon track, crossing into the Qudra Lakes area. Expect a couple sets of technical dunes near Love Lake, leading to a stunning white sand zone with no bushes and frequent gazelle sightings.

We'll navigate northward through this scenic stretch, ending just past Love Lake near Qudra’s Last Exit.

We request every member that joins this drive to go through the information below and strictly follow these guidelines, etiquette and responsibilities.

Drive Details

Level:  Fewbie and above (all levels)

Meeting time:  06:00 AM

Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NBkj2dcSeG85oDtB8

Action Plan: From Lisaili's (almost entirely) clean dunes, alongside E66, a straight run toward Qudra's Love Lakes and the Last Exit, just at the end of D63, across a variety of terrains, mostly fast (except a small set of technical dunes), to end the drive at the pristine, blinding white Qudra's Secret Dunes. Fun, fast (as much as possible) and new. One never knows when there may be the need to take an off-road shortcut between highways 😆

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face masks, rubber gloves, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn.
