  Thanks.

Do you mean "Sand Dunes"? xty I've seen the picture of "sandfall" in "Off Road in the Emirates" book. Complete with the map and GPS coordinate. But I think you need 4x4.
It's like a small cliff where the sands fall down like a waterfall. Though it's said it depends on the weather (wind) and time. I want to go there as well. Would be great for photography.

There it is the picture I found:
galero Thanks XTY. I'll get that guide and try to find the sandfalls. Hope I don't get stuck in a dune or get lost in the desert. xty

arniegang, please confirm if it really needs 4x4 or a sedan will just (toughly) fine? I mean, you're answering Choc's, right? (Hatta pools) arniegang you definately need a 4x4 mate, more so a proper one because clearance is vital. Play ones like the X5 and the Volvo wouldn't hack it. They would survive on the tracks but not driving down into the wadi's etc. It needs to be a Nissan Patrol,Landruiser, Jeep or Land Rover etcetc Oh and sump,radiator and transmission guards are recommended too
