First stop,
Falaj Al Moalla for some driving in the desert. We haven’t taken our
desert driving course yet but the track seemed fairly easy so we gave it a go. As the desert is always changing and the different tracks can be difficult to decipher, we ended up heading straight towards a
farm – a farm that wasn’t on the
map! Almost getting
stuck, we contempled our situation and another SUV pulled up behind us. Together we
caravanned through the desert, each armed with our “UAE off-road” guide and
walkie-talkies. After running into a couple more farms and
unsafe passages we almost gave up to head back the way we came but decided to give it one more try.
Success – we will not be eaten by
desert goats after all. The last picture is my favourite - an
oasis. Mental note: come back to this spot to
camp.
