Wadi Hayl UAE

What do you get when the ADNOC ATI boys get a week off in March?

ROAD TRIP


We hit the road - An Irishman and three Canadians in the Cherokee, two Aussies and a Canadian in the Sportage and an Englishman and an Egyptian in the Prado.  We made our way via the 'Friday Markets' . . .

Followed by Fort Bithinah with the help of some kind locals {wa'Allah} and our faltering attempts at Arabic . . .

Back on the road, with the sun beating down, we made our way to another Fort by Wadi Hayl . . .


After some bumpy navigation and hillside reversals we established camp near Wadi Hayl, Fujairah, one of the seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates.  There are two camping options in the Emirates - Sand or Rock!  


By day, pretty bloody unattractive!  A quarry, no less . . .


By night, no less than stunning!




One night camping and we are back on the road.  The Prado and Cherokee off to greener, bluer pastures in Fujairah and the Sportage back to the Dhab!

Quick!  Dangir!  There are only so many camel photos one man can take.  The focus is now on the passing parade . . .
