Mezyad Boarder Al Ain to Salalah is the shortest road and all nationalities are allowed to cross from here.. And you heard correct there is one more boarded... HILI Boarder which has two gates, one for GCC nationalities and other gate which is 2 to 3km away which is for all nationalities and this route we should take if we are going to Muscat through Sohar.. Wish you happy journey and drive safe..

I is to think camels are vegetarian... today I came to know that they are non vegetarian. They chew bones and eat carrion to supplement their diet.

good one @waqaszohair and rest all with your prompt feedback. This type of thread will definitely make us learn more. And reason he did not flip is he turned to his right if i am not wrong....

Bring cooked ones..

thanks @Rahimdad for your appreciation

It will be fun driving all together. unfortunately on 11th night i am going to India for 2 weeks. I will definitely try to join you guys once you plan the route and i will plan according to my convenience. Not 7, atleast 2 emirates i will try to join... mark me in @Gaurav my flight is from dubai - If you plan to abu dhabi first then i can join you guys back to northern emirates

thank you all for your quote. we will try to pull out the fuse in our next drive and later i will plan to install a switch which will be very handy. @shadow79 to initialize the system how?

I found the fuse and pulled out to check. It worked ABS light was on in dashboard. Meantime the taction control light was also on and we don't need this function while off roading. Now we need to know wheater this traction control is fully disabled.

2010 Explorer ST, I want to switch off ABS mode while venturing off road. And on the same on tarmac. Can anyone help me?

We were waiting for whole week since Gaurav Bhai posted a adventurous trip to Sweihan. I was excited as we were going to notch this area with our most trusted marshals. Sweihan is one of the difficult terrain in UAE and known as "Little Liwa" due to its big dunes and soft sand... And the other excitement for me was the convey is coming to my place 😊Abu Dhabi... And that day came, 6th July and my plan was to meet the convoy at sweihan city which is 45mins drive from my home. At 10pm I got a call from unknown number and that was gaurav bhai, this is his second number which I had not stored in my device. And heard him saying "Asif Bai small changes" I thought the plan is cancelled. But he said we had changed the plan due to some unforeseen situation and we had switched the plan to Maliha area.. without any questions, I rushed to my truck with my stuffs and started to our new meeting point which is almost 2hrs drive for me and I was 30min late.. Thanks to Gaurav Bhai to keep this drive on.. We all headed to our deflating point and Rahim Bhai was suppose to join us late because he had some work to finish. As usual practice Gaurav Bhai was suppose to start briefing and we saw a pathfinder staring at us.. & that was "Rahim Bhai" and for first time I saw him without superman on his chest.. After a short briefing we all headed towards fossil rock and Saleem bhai was leading us with his once banned RAV4... "bro you performed superb" After driving for few minutes one small sharp dip hit my metal skid plate (5mm thick) which bent from its place and hit the radiator below and we ended up with broken radiator.. With all experts and equipments we carry with us we were able to fix that at spot which took our valuable 3hrs.. After fixing the radiator and examining that we were confident that we can continue the drive with repaired radiator.. We continued our drive... by then it was almost dawn, the light started appearing from east... and RAV4 continued its momentum with some exciting dunes and drops and took us to huge dune were we did side sloping for few minutes. First Gaurav Bhai showed us his skill with his little beast and he did it almost at the top edge of the dunes...Then one by one everyone did side sloping and were playing around. But I was hesitating to do it because of radiator, thinking that it will break at the repaired joint.. but gaurav bhai came to me and gave me the confidence.. and finally I did it..!!! not once many times... Then we left that place and reached to the top of fossil rock and had our BBQ breakfast there... by the time sun rays hit straight to us we came down to the other side of fossil rock and played around again climbing the dunes for few minutes and exited from there to Adnoc.. After inflating we left to Abu Dhabi and reached by noon.. The drive would have been even more adventurous if there wasn't a mishap with my truck.. sorry everyone.
