I was in Qatar couple of years back for a very short visit and the highlight of the visit was the desert safari. We engaged gulf-adventures, who took on this half-a-day desert safari close to the Saudi border. These guys were expert drivers and knew the terrain well.
Here are a few photos and a small clip from that trip.

Here some clips we took..
Very interesting video on SUV driving in sand at such a speed. Is the tyre inflated to the same air pressure as we do for regular road driving?

ReplyDeleteGood Question..
They 'deflate' the tyres before embarking on these 'stunts'.... and then 'inflate' again when they are ready to hit the road..
Also, I must say these guys are 'professional' drivers and know what they are doing.. So 'Don't try this at home' warning would be appropriate..
Lamborghini looks awesome!
