Afternoon Fewbie Drive - Sweihan with a Pinch of Salt - Abu Dhabi - 7 Aug 2026

[ChrisW]

DRIVE PLAN

Join @Ale Vallecchi and me for a Friday afternoon adventure as we head deep into Sweihan, exploring its flowing dunes with our sights set on the fascinating Salt Rock area in the east. We'll tackle a variety of terrain, from fast rolling sections to more technical climbs and ridges, making this an engaging drive that rewards smooth driving, teamwork, and good momentum. Expect great scenery, plenty of learning opportunities, and a team atmosphere as we make the most of a beautiful desert afternoon and push ourselves across the sands.
