Have you always dreamt of four-wheeling through stunning sand dunes? A jeep safari adventure in the Middle East is the answer. Whether you're in the United Arab Emirates on vacation, a business trip, or here as a resident, there are options to experience four-wheeling excitement. The Abu Dhabi 4x4 Club is the largest off-road club in the Middle East with 5000 plus members. It is a non-profit club established to teach off-road driving skills. For beginners and experts alike, you're able to rent a 4x4 for a day or a month and learn new skills or hone your aptitude while driving with the Abu Dhabi 4x4 Club. There are five classes in the club and you enter as a Newbee but may work your way up to the coveted Marshal Status.
Now, if visiting Abu Dhabi or the UAE for a corporate engagement and wanting to add spice to the trip, the Abu Dhabi 4x4 Club can escort patrons on a four-wheeling adventure setting up a campfire, buffet, camp beds under the stars, complete with belly dancing entertainment. Treks, team building events and group parties can also be arranged. The entertainment doesn't end with the four-wheeling itself. The Marshals themselves are a hoot while being highly skilled drivers.
Hani, the club manager is nicknamed "Antrax" from his DJ days years ago. Imad, nicknamed "Bad to the Bone" has a real job as a business development officer for a financial institution, but he'd rather be out four-wheeling with this impressive group of drivers. Siad, "Bulldozer", is another excellent instructor - he is also a Marshal for the Formula 1 stop at the Abu Dhabi Etihad Grand Prix. (Checking out the Yas Marina Circuit where the Formula 1 race is held is an adventure in itself!)
