Was a great drive, tks Tariq for leading us. Is someone familiar with the Sweihan area? I know it is in AUH but would be great to drive there since Al Badayer is getting very crowded during the winter months. Maybe we could organize a full day sometime in January?

You're absolutely right. We will soon plan the Sweihan and Al Quoa trips.
Stay tuned
