Hey guys,
I had really awesome weekend in Dubai but I've been so busy traveling (currently I'm in Singapore) so I didn't have time to leave a few words here.
Last weekend me and some friends went for off-road driving in the desert of Sweihan. It's located in Abu Dhabi, on the border of three cities: Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain.
I've tried before one of those popular safaris for tourist and I have to tell you it was an absolute joke compared to this.
The people who drive were really enthusiastic and they all have great skills. They were part of a group who has a marshal (the person who leads the group) and they follow some strict rules so that everyone's safety is ensured.
One of the guys in our group got seriously stuck in the sand and his car actually broke. We had to stop and pull him out. All the people put enormous efforts to help him get his car on the main road. I was surprised to see such a team spirit and good organization.
Because of the incident we couldn't get too far but still we had the time to experience some serious dunes.
I've always loved the desert. For some reason all this endless sand makes me feel so calm and relaxed. Mixing this with a bit of adrenaline is a great experience. I recommend you to try this if you still haven't done it.
At the end of the day we were all rewarded with a great sunset. That's one more reason why I love the desert so much - it always has magnificent sunsets.
