Morning Newbie Desert Drive - Straddling The Solar Tower - Dubai- 28 Mar 2026

[Frederic]

Thanks again for all who joined our little city escape drive, and to @J-P L, @ChrisW, @Aser for the support. A special mention as well to @Amr A for bringing along two newbies with him 😁 who both drove perfectly.

The weather was simply bliss, with a beautiful blue sky, some puffy white clouds, and a bit of wind. It doesn't get much better than this.

The sand was extremely forgiving, but having such a great convoy and support behind my back made it even better. 

Without much trouble we made our way from Murquab to the Solar Tower, which was shining brightly at us. After a short break i wanted to explore the small but clean dunes just north of the Solar Tower. These dunes are smaller and more technical but we sailed through it without breaking a sweat. I was happy to see @Raptor Runner - Praveen being crested as finally we had something to do  

We made our way further Northwest towards the famous Three Trees at Al Qudra where we exited. 

All in all a good 45kms (see the track below):

See you all in the sands soon again!
