Driving to UAE these holidays
Hi Everybody,
Eid Al Adha has been declared and I am sure that many like me have planned to drive down to UAE during the holidays.
I would like to have some serious advice on this long trip.
Advices regarding Car Tune up, Necessary Documents, Travel Kits etc etc etc ....
I have a Toyota Prado 2008 model and would love to have special advice about "things I need to do with the Car" before I take this trip.
Regards
Tim???

Always fill up when your tank is half empty - petrol stations are far between!
Stick to the speed limits. Lots of hidden radar patrols in KSA and lots of cameras in UAE :O)
Just through Ruwais there is a good petrol station with FULL facilities and clean toilets!
Have a safe journey. Drive carefully and enjoy the TRIP. We made plans for road travel but due to some reason cannot make it.
