Road Trips in UAE

Image
Here are some of the best road trips in UAE: 1. Abu Dhabi to Bateen Liwa. How far?  The journey is only 230km, but after two-and-a-half hours of driving you’ll go from the opulence of Abu Dhabi to feeling like you’re on a different planet. No wonder this area was used as a setting for  Star Wars: The Force Awakens . The highlights  Once you get near Liwa you’re entering Rub Al Khali, known as the Empty Quarter: a huge expanse of desert that’s twice the size of Norway. If you fancy some adventure, head to the Moreeb Dune and climb to its 300m summit. But before you hit the road in UAE, make sure to get a DRIVING LICENSE.

Awesome road trips

There is nothing quite like a great road trip . Loading up the vehicle with gear, food and drinks, and good friends, and setting out on an adventure remains one of the best ways to explore the world. Sometimes you know exactly where you’re going and you just want to enjoy the journey, and at other times you just know where you want to eventually end up and how you get there is secondary. Either way, a road trip remains one of the most enjoyable ways to travel, particularly if you’re not in any kind of hurry. It seems our friend over at National Geographic feel the same. They’ve just put out a list of ten of the best road trips in the world, taking travelers to some unique and exotic locations, while sending them on an amazing adventure at the same time. Some of the routes that earned a spot on the Nat Geo countdown include a road through the Andes Mountains in Chile and Argentina, a classic drive through the Shenandoah Mountains of the Eastern U.S., and a ride along the notorious “De...

Hello friends.. This blog might not turn ou t to be a very informative one, as its primarily a collection of some snaps that I shot in my short stay in Tokyo...as you read below, you will find snaps of many beautiful places in Tokyo...thus, I call it to be a kaleidoscope of Tokyo, shot from the lens of an amateur photo enthusiast... Its been exactly a month that I have been staying in Tokyo, yet i am already enveloped by its aura. This place has a charm of its own.

The Tokyo Tower...!    The reason I chose to start off with the Tokyo Tower is because one can see the entire city...

YERCAUD -- Ooty of the Poor...!!

Hello friends,    This page is not about the Geographical and other details about Yercaud, this is about our trip to this lovely hill station of Tamil Nadu. FYI: While planning for the tour, I found the wiki-tarvel page and the official web-page of Yercaud pretty handy to decide about the routes and  other details.    So, now lets begin our journey. On a Wednesday (3rd Aug, 2011), five friends (including me), pissed off with their suffocating load of their PG course at IITM , decided to visit a hill-station during the coming weekend...!! The first thought that came to our mind was Ooty and Kodaikanal. But after goin thru their respective web pages, we concluded that it would be a pretty long and expensive trip. And, time is a luxury that we cant afford..! Hence, one of us, Tej, came up with Yercaud. :-)    After goin thru the above mentioned web-pages, we found out that dis place is not very far (from Chennai) and thus we...
