To address this issue, Dubai has implemented a system of designated parking zones throughout the city. In this article, we will take a closer look at the parking zones of Dubai, how they work, and what you need…

The Eye of Sauron aka Chimney (Dewa Solar Power Plant)

In our drives around Lisaili and Qudra we see a tall structure, that we jokingly call Eye of Sauron or Chimney. Any time we have a break during our drives it always comes up for discussion. I always had something to say about it and this is a post I wrote on the forums. In recent years, Dubai has been…

Intermediate Drive – Al Qua’a

Al Qua’a is approx 250 km away from my home – thus it is almost entirely impossible to drive there in the morning to participate. So I along with a couple of dear friends we went there the previous evening. We all started at different times but reached the ADNOC fuel station about the same time. We filled up our…

Morning Fewbie Plus Drive – Remah, Abu Dhabi

Started with a buddy previous night and camped near a petrol station since it was closed by the time we reached it. It was a good night sleep. Fresh in the morning we packed up the tent and went straight to the petrol station. Met many members of the convoy there and proceeded to the meeting place. As usual it…

Morning Newbie Drive – Sweihan, Abu Dhabi

I did not sleep properly the night before as I was working on the new video I released on Friday. I reached the Sweihan petrol pump half hour to space and took a quick nap and eventually got delayed. Luckily the drive itself was delayed as out of the 9 members who were supposed to join the drive only 4…

Morning Fewbie Plus Drive – Ghantoot, Dubai

The drive stared a bit late as the initial meeting point was overcrowded due to a cycle race. We took a loop to go to usual meeting point of Bab Al Shams and from there we started towards the long range dunes of Al Qudra. After a few minutes of fast driving on those dunes we stated towards Ghantoot and…

Morning Fewbie Drive – Nahil, Abu Dhabi

It started where my previous drive ended, at Nahil, Abu Dhabi. I was centre froward in this drive. While the drive stated a bit slowly in the morning soon we passed though an interesting technical patch. Soon the lead was crested and I had to pull him out. We then reached the Gafteen Bowl and had a few rounds. we…

Intermediate Drive – Sweihan to Nahil Abu Dhabi

This was an exciting drive from start to finish and tested the drivers for their technical skills in the deserts of Sweihan. I was at the end of the convoy and was like now I am going to be stuck now I am going to stuck, all the while. I did get stuck at one time when I tried to…

Morning Fewbie Plus Drive – Faqa to Little Sweihan

It was slightly foggy morning on that Sunday and after a few long-range dunes we ventured into an extremely technical area and obviously it quickly followed by a stuck situation. We recovered from it and played a little more in the long-range dunes of Faqa again and ventured towards Little Sweihan in the Sabkha, briefly touching triple digit speeds. When…

Morning Intermediate Drive – Sweihan, Abu Dhabi

Thanks to the Lead for a truly Intermediate drive. It was an Excellent terrain and tested the skills of everyone at this level. Some minor refusals here and there but everyone drove with commendable spirit. A small convoy helped me a lot on my puny Jeep at the back, but sad to see all the dropouts.  The technical terrain in the…
