Eid Al Adha Mubarak everyone! Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few weeks back, I select listed a few curt trip ideas from Dubai for the long weekend. As flights got a piffling flake pricey four weeks before the holiday, my roomies as well as I decided to 'stay-cation' instead. I select much to explore inward the UAE anyways then I mean value at in i lawsuit is the best fourth dimension to create a piffling exploring.
If you lot select been next my instagram account, you lot mightiness select seen a few photos I took for the Dubai Longboarding Community. One of my friends is an active fellow member as well as whenever they become out, he e'er brand certain I teach an invitation because he knows that I honey taking photos. The perks of beingness a snapper as well as an all fourth dimension 'kaladkarin', ha!
Sept. ix that was, nosotros left Dubai every bit early on every bit 3:00am to grab the sunrise at the go past times of the tallest mount inward the UAE - nosotros travelled to Ras Al Khaimah. How amazing it is that this community e'er teach the best views of the country! Even before this year, I also joined them inward Al Ain as well as I quite loved the view.
It took us nigh 2.5 hours to teach at that spot amongst a 15-minute pee break, nosotros were running at 60-80kph. I was inward the front end spot as well as was the driver's assistant guiding him via Google maps (which is strange because it was my kickoff fourth dimension going to RAK), I had to brand certain he's awake spell he drives then I kept on blabbing fifty-fifty if talked non-sense already. There were nigh 10 of us as well as nosotros shared AED60 each for the provide transfers - amazingly cheap, I know!
First banking concern annotation when nosotros arrived at the peak, the current of air was a piffling flake chilly already as well as we're halfway to wintertime then if you lot are planning to see anytime soon, brand certain to convey a jacket. Each army camp has their ain toilet, no tissue rolls unfortunately then convey one. The nearest shop could likely live 20-30minutes away, convey every bit much nutrient or H2O every bit you lot can. The route also has several abrupt turns as well as goats are everywhere then live extra careful amongst driving. The higher you lot become up, the ameliorate you lot taste the watch but the route to the highest peak is nevertheless inward the works. And lastly, the local community at that spot is trying to cash inward one's chips on the surface area clean, tin dismiss I simply inquire for a uncomplicated asking to convey garbage bags for your trash? Even the Dubai Long Boarding Community as well as AUH Crew did their business office as well as maintained a construct clean surface area then I promise travellers as well as visitors create this too.
The crew volition live dorsum at RAK on Dec. ix for the Emirates Downhill Challenge 2016 then simply inward illustration you'd live interested inward capturing the fun-filled activity as well as run into this community, experience gratis to create then as well as they'd live to a greater extent than than happy to run into lots of people. They are also looking for sponsorships on their consequence as well as if you lot are interested, create accomplish out to them as well as they'd live rattling thankful for it.
