Dubai is often described at Disneyland for adults and is considered to be one of the more relaxed cities of the Middle East. It is so over the top with a lot of activities available to suit anyone tastes. A work colleague Howard and I had enquired about riding motorbikes out in the sand-dunes nearby to the city. We researched and found the local KTM agent had a sand-tour available. We set off early in the morning to beat the heat of the day and were riding by 8am.
We had a fantastic time riding up and down sand-dune avoiding camels and tents from nomadic campsites. Occasionally we would come across a bitumen road in a remote place that had been laid straight through the sand. I’m thinking with the shifting sands it must be an exercise to keep sand off these roads as the winds move sand-dunes over time.
Good fun.
