Hi @Jameskm Qudra area could be a good option. I've included in the attachment two potential routes. You can download this .gpx file and open it with any GPS app like GaiaGPS (free account), Gurumaps, or also Wikiloc or Alltrails. Both are in the Qudra area and very simple. There is one that takes you through the Qudra lakes, which they might like. In general, we would never recommend venturing out alone of course. On the other hand, these routes are mostly on hard tracks. No in the actual dunes. You can go a little bit towards the dunes for a snack and sitdown but not further than that when you are all alone. There is other options further up north like Mleiha, Batayeh, etc... If that would be in your plan as well let me know i can share some scenic tracks of UAQ and RAK. lakes-route.gpx qudra-faqa.gpx

Dear @vinayaknam. Take note this is a Fewbie level drive. You are currently at Newbie level and not yet eligible to join.

What you perhaps can do is buy the Garmin GLO 2: Garmin GLO 2: Reviewed By A Professional Navigator – Casual Navigation This bluetooth GPS receiver can pair with your ipad, so you end up having more accurate GPS reception. Device overheating is indeed a bit of an issue. I usually try to mount my devices in front of an AC vent to keep them cool, or sometimes hang a piece of cloth inbetween the device and the windshield to keep it in the shade.

Well done @Ahmed Farouk !!
