+143km ride from Al Ain road to Al Jabal (Cattle Grid) - Shwaib - Faqaa and back. A surprise in the middle, the Al Maha Resort fence has been moved a few kilometers closer to Al Ain. This leaves a narrow corridor to an underpass crossing the Al Ain highway a few kilometers past Faqaa. Works out reasonably well though as the underpass is just after the new filling station at Faqaa if you need to refuel.

Construction on the south-eastern (desert) side of the E611 bypass (truck) road makes it difficult to get through this area. Where there are not foundations being dug for a building there are trenches to install the facilities to serve these new buildings. The areas in between contain the heaps of soft sand that makes your front wheel disappear while you continue forward in an elegant superman pose, hoping your knees clear the handlebars and the landing will be soft.
This interrupted terrain continues nearly all the way to the Lahbab road (E77) with the large area condoned off for what was to be the ultra luxurious Tiger Woods golf course bang in the middle of where you need to go through to get to the 2nd Al Ain Road petrol station. Luckily with the desert moving fast to reclaim untended fences it should only take a year or two for the sand to cover the area again.
Getting across the Lahbab road is a bit of a challenge seeing us race a kilometer or two down the highway to find a crossing.
Following desert roads and bedouin tracks, the route back took about 45 minutes, probably doable in around 30 minutes at a good pace without detours.
