yes you can ride there. its pretty small. maybe 1500-2000 acres. you can get there by crossing the snake at american falls dam. head past lamb weston {big potato prossecing plant} heading west along railroad tracs. I am not sure how far. we came in from the other side on quads. around ten miles east on the railroad tracs from minidoka. the other way would be better. you can drive it instead of riding it.

Let's say you could plan a trip to ride anwhere you wanted to. I'd put a trip together to hit 3 of the largest dunes in the world. First stop is to ride in the tallest dunes in the US - which are in Great Dunes National monument in Colorado, about 750 ft high.

Second stop, head over to Nambia, Africa and spend a few days riding in the Sossusvlei Dunes. (You can actually legally ride ATV's there by the way). The dunes are over 1000 feet high.

Then Finally, I'd head down to Peru to ride at the undeniably highest dune/mountain in the world, Cerro Blanco, with a +3000 ft vertical drop.

If you are interesting you can come to the UAE and have a good time. Plus you don't need any visa to get in.

When we go riding we like to go deep in the desert that why you can find a better dunes

Believe me man it is very safe to go riding there you won;t get shot unless you do it yourself. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Don't listen to the NEWS it is 100% safe

I was just kidding about getting shot. beleive me thegreatestever. if there was a way for me to get my bombardier over there.I would. but, i suspect it would cost more money than I could come up with to get myself and qaud there. I would love to ride in that sand.how hot do's it get out in the desert there? are you in ABU DHABI? I did not see ALAIN on the map. what is up in the penensula? oman or Iraq? I am just geussing that the place you ride is in south amerites. my father spends about 3 months a year down in madagaskar and seyshcell ILands. I bet they have some good sand dunes close by there.

Well it gets really hot in summer, hot 2 the point that u can’t ride about 45-50 C but people go riding at night in summer but the best time is the winter coz it doesn’t get very cold about 20-25 C.

Iam living in Alain and it is part of Abu Dhabi. Acutely we go riding north but know man the big problems that we face is the gas. We go so deep in the desert but we have 2 go back 2 get more gas.

U know in the UAE we have the biggest dunes in the middles east. People started doing a big computation there and the winners gets a lot of money. Iam telling you not any bike can get 2 the top of the dune you have 2 put a lot of money. I have been there ones and I got scared looking at that dune. I will try getting some pics and show it 2 u.


here is a link of a map of the UAE and u will see Alain but spelled different (Al,Ayn)
