Al Ruwais is a town located some 240 kilometers west of Abu Dhabi city in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi Emirate. And almost 350kms from Dubai. Its a very long drive to Ruwais. After a few 100 km's from auh the roads narrow down to 2 lane and the road speed reduces to 80km/h. There are lots of radars on the way and all of them are working so be careful with your speed limits.The best way to spot the radars is to look out for large solar panels on the road as all the Radars are solar powered, almost all. The drive itself isn't scenic in spite of being a coastal road. But once you reach your destination itll be worth it. This off-road trip is meant only for people who like to run away from city and like to camp in the middle of nowhere. All the mentioned camping spots are completely isolated with no human contact for miles. The beaches are beautiful ,but don't have any waves maybe i was there during the wrong season. The temp was low at the beach where we camped in Sila. So if planning for a winter drive make sure to carry warm clothes. Shuwayhat Island is a scenic place for photography. Camping is not recommended on this island as it is visited by loc als and they usually don't welcome outsiders. Plus there's a military base nearby hence camping is really not advisable. Also people wanting to do night photography will have too much light pollution in this area. Its a good drive to go and explore the island and take some pics. Sila beach is long stretch of coastal road where you can camp anywhere and everywhere. The shore is quite far during low tide almost a kilometer away from the road. Onc can walk inside all the way if they want. People interested in bird photography will find lots of bird species in these mangroves. There's also a spot where you can spot 100's of flamingos. It was long and stressful drive if you don't have cruise control,but overall it was fun to get away from the city and sleep beneath the stars. Hope you guys enjoy it.

And what do you Like and Hate about it. I drive a 1999 Range Rover and love everything about it except the fact that its not 1999 anymore.

Which is the best bank for auto loans in the UAE based on interest rate.? Any particular banks to avoid?

My fuel gauge is not working properly. Its moving fast and then resuming to original position. Even if the tank is full the needle doesn't move all the way down, it stays one bar up. What needs to be checked?

A fastest accelerating electric vehicle in the world was recently released by a group of German students.The car was clocked from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 1.779 seconds!!!; the previous record stood at 1.785 seconds.It only had a 134 hp electric motor to do the job, drawing juice from a 6.62 kWh battery pack. Here's the link to the video : https://www.youtube.com/embed/bO7HlsAbhQk?showinfo=0

Within hours of the announcement, for example, Nissan Middle East sent a tweet which read: "#Petrol prices are set to rise in the #UAE? No problem! Drive the all new #Hybrid #Pathfinder."But despite being cheaper to run over time, many electric and hybrid cars come with a higher price tag than their fully combustion-engine counterparts.Some small versions currently available in the UAE have a starting price of Dh76,000. http://www.khaleejtimes.com/business/auto/go-hybrid Are you guys seriosuly thinking for alternate options? Any first hand experience here with Electric or Hybrid vehicles? Electric cars are a great option for many people in countries around the world not just because they are better for the environment, but because they can save their owners a fair amount of money. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, earlier this year electric cars on average cost $3.74 to travel 100 miles, as opposed to $13.36 for conventional cars. Those savings are quite considerable in the long-run but only if the user has easy and regular access to charge points, otherwise they won’t get many miles for their dollar at all. They’ll get zero, because the car would run out of battery charge halfway along the Abu Dhabi Highway and leave its owner stranded. http://goo.gl/zy9bH3

There's a silver lining though. Increase in gas prices might lead to fuel-efficient cars, hybrids and, most recently, all electric cars that can travel up to 160 kms between charges.Does anyone have any idea on availability of electric cars and hybrids in Dubai?

Thanks Danny for the info, I wish there's a complete list of to do's and a exact process for that.

Thanks Sidhan, both those link are taking me to services in Dubai which are very expensive. Btw carnity business listings is a very good place to source out such services.. Hope they have other Emirates too there.. Like Ajman Fujairah etc Looking for someone who already has get their cars foiled from these emirates..

Has anyone tried foiling their Range Rover or any SUV? Any recommended workshops outside Dubai for a better price deal? Cos the prices in Dubai are equivalent to buying a new RR lol.

Nope.. Plastic Metal and Rubber. They stopped making gold spare parts for automobiles after the Egyptian era. Roughly around the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty, also known as the Saite Period, lasted from 672 BC to 525 BC.

It was a faulty lock, had to change the whole mechanism. Costed 650Dhs at national _ Shj . It is advisable to change it since if it stops working all the doors might get locked or unlocked.

If its Dubai Autodrome I am in! I would be forwarding this to bunch of my friends too its fun when there are more ppl! Havent done karting for a long time now. So lets go! Cheers.

I have a 1999 Range Rover. Currently even if all my doors are properly closed it still shows an LH-F Door open message. Anyone faced similar problem? According to someone the door lock needs to be replaced. Any suggestions besides that option?

Because slow and steady wins the race! LOL! This question is going to haunt Dubai for the next 10 years... After that ofcourse there'll be self driving cars!

Yeah i realised that. Thanks for the reply, mine is a Gem setup as Bosch engines were implemented only after 2000 models when BMW took over. jackson wrote: > In older car rpm are usually controlled by vacuum switch than > electronically controlled like in newer car.

Cruise control added *A catalytic converter is a vehicle emissions control device which converts toxic byproducts of combustion in the exhaust of an internal combustion engine to less toxic substances by way of catalysed chemical reactions. The specific reactions vary with the type of catalyst installed. Most present-day vehicles that run on gasoline are fitted with a “three-way” converter, so named because it converts the three main pollutants in automobile exhaust: carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen. The first two undergo catalytic combustion and the last is reduced back to nitrogen. Source - Wikipedia

Hi Guys, I have a 1999 RR 4.6 HSE. I have recently noticed that the RPM whilst on neutral is around 900-950. But when in D it falls to 500 odd. Is this normal? Anyone else with the same model have noticed something like this? Btw how many ppl are there with a 1999-2001 RR model over here?
