Morning Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - The Khazna Bonanza - Abu Dhabi - 24 Jan 2026

[_luke_]

 

DRIVE DESCRIPTION

Al Khazna is a rewarding hidden gem close to Abu Dhabi. The terrain unfolds in long, rolling dunes with clean lines and generous spacing—perfect for practicing confident side‑sloping, smooth ridge riding, and controlled cresting. The climbs are tall enough to demand proper momentum management, and the soft sand keeps you honest with every ascent.

We will attempt to keep the flow going at a relatively high pace.. linking ridge to ridge where possible.

I need you alert, well rested, and ready for fun!

Good morning @Luke K P!

I had signed up for an intermediate drive but I'm the only one listed there (not sure if it will happen) so I have put myself in waitlist for yours and Ale's drive. I can see its already jam packed so just trying my luck. Incase someone drops out, please add me the list. If no, no worries, and hope to drive with you very soon and wish you and the rest a super drive tomorrow!

Thanks very much @Luke K P for accommodating my request. I really appreciate it. I've let @Ishak know. If the third driver doesn't show up, I look forward to the drive tomorrow. Thanks again.

Hmm.. I know that feeling. I am waiting the good news, I am sure the car will behave differently.

I know, i’m really disappointed i wanted to join this drive, it would’ve been the perfect chance to test the new tuning. Next time insha allah
