Fundrive through the dunes
helped in this case, only the sand bucket
The left front wheel goes deeper and deeper
Our vehicle was so parked that you could certainly go away again
Last weekend in Dubai of the 30th GULF NEWS conducted Fundrive deserts. In addition to the 600 registered vehicles (all with 4x4 drive), 50 Marshall road. From 07:30 clock was then the whole pack one by one sent to the desert journey. Since many participants were never on sand, it was not long had to be dug out of us to marshal the first sand victims. I do not know how many cubic yards of sand on that I I shoveled a Friday. But the happy faces of the desert newcomers, whose vehicles were brought into motion again, it was worth to help them. I have also not much experience in this regard but as a navigator with a very experienced desert drivers, we had an excellent Marshall team.
The trip started after an extensive open-air breakfast about 40 km southeast of Dubai. After about 120 km almost exclusively on sand, we reached shortly after 18:00 once again the target. There was still TOYOTA serves a full dinner.
After a very long and eventful Day I was dead tired at 22:00 clock back at the hotel.
The track (red line) led to the limit to the Sultanate of Oman
Shortly after the start but still asphalt under the wheels
The first victim is freed by a marshal in the awkward position
helped in this case, only the sand bucket
The left front wheel goes deeper and deeper
Our vehicle was so parked that you could certainly go away again
There was only sparse vegetation ....... ..
........ in a fascinating desert landscape

When did no more then came the Unimog

opening of the Shaikh Zayed Bridge
After nearly 8 years of construction, now with 4 years of the late Shaikh Zayed Bridge opened just before the end of the year. The two 4-lane roads are 16m above the water and a total of about 840m long. The bridge was designed by the renowned Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. The bridge is intended to represent here in a desert country occurring sand dunes. The highest "Dune" is 64m high. The building cost about CHF 300 million.
Abu Dhabi is now over 4 bridges from the mainland reached. The new bridge will, as was the Maqta and also on the Mussafahbrücke Maqtakanal. About the fourth bridge, Shaikh Khalifa, the bridge, you reach Abu Dhabi from the east via Saadiyat Iceland.
