Abu Dhabi launches Off Road Self Drive Adventure Routes

Off Road Adventures made easy for you by DCT Abu Dhabi.

Off-road enthusiasts in the UAE will be pleased to know that the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi has launched a series of adventure-filled off-road routes that will enable them to take advantage of the weather and enjoy desert camping and safari experiences in their own vehicles.

The Off-Road Driving in Abu Dhabi Project, organized by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), comprises six off-road driving route maps covering Abu Dhabi, Al Dhafrah and Al Ain.

The idea is that visitors use them to embark on desert camping and safari experiences in their own vehicles.

The route maps have been designed to suit drivers of all abilities, from beginner to advanced, and each provides a variety of sightseeing opportunities, including camel and gazelle sightings, unique desert dune views and access to oases.

Maps feature Al Remah, Al Ain to White Sands, Hameem Loop, Umm Al Oush, Liwa Crossing and Al Khazna, all of which will be available through participating tour operators, as well as the Abu Dhabi Off-Road webpage at visitabudhabi.ae.

Drivers will be provided with a set of checklists and instructions to ensure their safety. Participating operators will offer lessons on the basics of the activity to those with no prior experience in off-road driving.

Stay tuned for details on all the routes soon.
