Afternoon Newbie Desert Drive & Hike - Nahel - Abu Dhabi - 17 Jan 2026

[JeromeFJ]

@Alex M @Jerzi @Amr A

Last updates for tomorrow.

Meeting at 2:00 pm at https://maps.app.goo.gl/f8nSRBXb24ryGTvm8

We will decide convoy order and frequency on the spot.

For the hike, it will remain around 1h or 1h30, so no special recommendation apart from the shoes already mentioned. A small backpack for a bottle of water and a jumper can be helpful.

Keep in mind that temperatures can drop rapidly in the evening, especially if it is a bit windy. Pack accordingly.

My number is 05 88 62 09 42 in case you need.

See you tomorrow afternoon !

@Jerzi and Herman, @Alex M

Thank you for joining the drive on Saturday afternoon. The combination of driving and hiking was a nice way to enjoy the desert.  We shall repeat while the weather permits !
