Itinerary description

Scenic drive between dunes, trees and dirty roads to end visiting Falwj al Mu’allā tower and the the Fort.
An easy drive if you follow the trail that can become interesting and in few sport challenging if you leave the trail. A lot of fauna and vegetation, not the usual desert drive. If you follow the dirty road you can manage to lower the pressure to 25psi. But if you want to have some fun on the dunes you have to go down to 15/12, sand is soft in many spots. Fun is guaranteed. You will be passing by fee farms, be respectful and do not scare the wildlife.
