Yesterday (17-01-14) i was on my way back form some press event organized near ones of the camps on Wahiba sands. Afternoon near the main track i saw a big group of the 4x4 cars and many of people. Just changed a bit my route and moved to check what happened. Near the big and steep dune local bedouins organized some dune challenge competition. Many of cars mostly Toyotas Land cruiser pick up and few Jeeps and Nissans. The cars mostly equipped with the standard tires and engines. A few of them were prepared for extreme dune bashing. This is very popular sport in GCC counties. Every year also local automotive clubs organizing a international competition of dune challenging near Mintarib in northern part of Wahiba sands. Below the short photo relation from the venue I have seen yesterday.
