good one basel.. will try my level best to join.. keep me in maybe list

Naqhra "The Little Liwa" this was my first drive post and big thanks to @Gaurav who encouraged me to step forward and post this drive and to lead the convoy. Friday "6th" morning I was the first one to reach at meeting point and after sometime everyone started turning @gaurav @saleem @srikumar and @rahimdad finally arrived. After having a cup of tea and sandwich we all left to our deflating point. After deflating as usual practice breafing began and it was my job. Gaurav Bhai & Rahim Bhai made me so comfortable that my fear to lead disappeared, after numbering the convey gaurav bhai was in second lead to correct me if i move wrong. We started our drive around 7.30 AM and we all enjoyed a lot and after playing around at Naqhra's tallest Dune by 10AM we were on the top of the dune which is around 250mtrs above sea level. After a short break and picture taking we continued our drive, and here is the real story began, one of our vehicle got stuck while slide slopeing and we tried recovering which was not moving even an inch. After a moment we noticed one of the wheel was not turning and we found that right side tie rod was bend. Somehow we recovered the vehicle to flat surface and tried temporary solution to fix it which did not work. And finally we decided to leave the vehicle in the middle of the desert and come back next day with proper tools and parts. Our drive continued next day it was Naqhra "Recovery Drive" all of us met at a decided point at late afternoon and reached to the spot on time and replaced the parts with the help of saleem's mechanical skills and we safely exited. This whole drive was our longest drive which is calculated roughly around 24hrs... Thanks to all for joining the drive and stayed till the end and special thanks to saleem.

There is no Petrol Station at Meeting Point. So those who are coming from Dubai via E66 the last Petrol Station is this https://goo.gl/maps/dZDd6PgDhgq If you are taking any other route please make sure you fill feul at nearst petrol station.

WOW one more drive to Abu Dhabi desert.. Sweihan it is on the border of three cities: Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain. With its big sand dunes and soft sands, it is a great place for masters in dune bashing to try their skills. A super spot for dune bashing in this area is NAQRAH also know as “Little Liwa” located deep in the Sweihan desert. Winter is approaching and exploring to real LIWA is somewhere around the corner and Naqrah is a great spot to go before we attempt to go to Liwa.

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?
