Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
As if you are going to the awesome XQuarry for some off road fun, from the E55 from Maleha (Please note the “DO NOT CAMP” signs along this road) and before you get to the pass through Al Faya mountain and passing by the Maleha camp, you need to cut across the desert in front of the ‘Eye of Maleha’. There is a road that goes around the other side of the Eye.
There are a number of little spaces to park up and have space between you and other either picnicing or camping. Most leave by midnight. We found a space that is about 1.5km from XQuarry and giving us a view of the Jebel Al Fayah mount ridge which we think is made up of at least two old men laying down. (Can you see them?).
Behind you is the Al Faya Dune. This is where the first warning comes. There will be quads and off roaders thrashing this so you will need to be expecting some noise and our second warning is the cars on the road driving like GTA, so be conscious of children playing if you have them.
Final warning is there is a quarry close or even two, so you will have a distant sound of lorries and quarry machinery.
Apart from this the area is pleasant and, flat and free. The locals that stopped were very friendly offering any help which is amazing as ever and wild life is lovely as though we did not see it the old men of the mountain have an owl.
Lastly, we had a decent signal with Virgin.
