The Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) has launched 'The Off-Road Driving in Abu Dhabi Project' which will consist of six off-road driving routes around Abu Dhabi, Al Dhafra and Al Ain.
The off-road driving project allows people to enjoy camping in the desert as well as desert safari experiences in their own car.
The routes have been created for people of all abilities, from beginner to those with advanced driving experience. The journey will offer sightings of camels and gazelles, unique desert dune views and access to oases.
The route maps include Al Remah, Al Ain to White Sands, Hameem Loop, Umm Al Oush, Liwa Crossing and Al Khazna.
More information on the routes will be available on the Abu Dhabi Off-Road website.
To ensure safety, drivers will be provided with a checklist and instructions and will also be offered basic lessons for those that require it. All the routes will be available on Google Maps and will be given to the driver through a designated link.
Ali Hassan Al Shaiba, Executive Director of Tourism and Marketing at DCT Abu Dhabi said, "Abu Dhabi is a wonderful destination for adventurers and those looking to connect with nature, thanks to its diverse and rugged landscape. Off-Road Driving in Abu Dhabi will provide adventurers with the opportunity to explore Abu Dhabi’s beautiful landscape and embark on exciting and varying adventures throughout the year. The initiative also opens new doors for operators, who can now offer a wider variety of desert experiences to visitors."
