From Riyadh to Abu Dhabi   With the Ford Explorer in the sand  

updated 11th of May 2021

This was my trip in December 2012 from Riyadh to Abu Dhabi and Liwa on a long weekend. With a Ford Explorer I drove in 4 days 2300 km and enjoyed every minute. That car is fantastic for a long travel.

.

The start was from my home Holiday Inn Izdihar in Riyadh north-east down to Al Kharj 80 kms early in the morning (1 - 2 on the map)
Izdihar No. 18	The car fully packed	Arabic skills ...	a new tower	Gulf countries & Haradh	leaving Kharj
After Kharj towards Haradh (3). Not many cars, but trucks. 480 kms one straight road, no turn. (2 - 4 on the map)
trucks	railway	plantation google	plantation	camel stop	straight forward
The United Arab Emirates from the border Al Gweifath to Abu Dhabi. (4 - 16 on the map)
It is about 300 km to Abu Dhabi. The roads are flat and right and left green. Keeps the sand away from the road. And somebody built his own bridge to his island.
In Abu Dhabi (16)
Al Raha Beach Hotel	The harbour	Fisher	swimming 29th road		Le Meridien
In Abu Dhabi, Mussafa and Yas Island (16 - 17)
