Wadi bashing in Wadi Asimah

A wadi is a dried up river bed, occasionally it floods and frequently there is some water in small pools.

Driving through the water in Wadi Asimah

Wadi Asimah is near the east coast of UAE, near Masafi. We decided to go Wadi bashing as we had done a lot of dune bashing and we had heard a lot about the greenery in Wadi Asimah.

This area was pretty green

The wrangler got over the big boulders in the stream quite easily. Although I managed to scrape the bottom of the Jeep once, the 3 mm skid plate absorbed the impact. The Jeep continued as if nothing happened.

That’s a drive I will certainly do again Winter, the water in the pools was very refreshing.

This trip is best done with a GPS and the offroad explorer book for UAE.
