Desert driving


This desert driving lesson with Emirates Driving Institute was some of the most fun we have had in Dubai! This half a day lesson started out with an informative PowerPoint presentation and ended with us bashing up and down dunes in a way I thought I never would. At the beginning of the drive, our teacher was scaring us, okay maybe just me, with his skilled driving; driving along the top of pointed dunes, sliding down tall bowls of sand and at impressive speeds. Our teacher managed to bury the wheels of the truck and we were taught how to get ourselves unstuck. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to drive in the desert with confidence. I also recommend you pack your own lunch.
