Quad Biking Red Sands

Post new topic

nzpounamu

How about an expat-blog get together this weekend?

If anyone is intersted we're going out to the red sands to ride quad bikes this Thursday (25th), heading out around 8.00am. If anyone would like to join us you're more than welcome.

Bring a bit of cash to hire your quad and some tucker (a.k.a) food and drink for a picnic afterwards.

Great chance to get together and have a bit of fun.

hi nz... been there last thursday.
it's better if you can jump off earlier than 8am.  The heat is very striking.

For everyone's info, the ATV rent is SR40 for big and SR30 for a small one.

enjoy! :)

slyshooter

where do you find an ATV for SR 40????

the rates i have got are always between SR 90 - SR 150(on holidays) and i have been doing it for the last 3 years

funkydelicguy

oh! i think you are not a real SLY. \m/ paying SR90??? hahaha don't get fooled man!

as what i said, i've been there last thursday. i rented-out an ATV for SR40/hour.
you can find these ATVs for rent along your way to redsand.

Its a type of Adult TeleVision rented out on hourly basis.

As such channels are banned in Saudi Arabia, you have to go the desert to watch it in privacy.

Nice one Sly.  Used to ride them in San Felipe Mexico as a teen ager on the beach.  Used to go into town on them to and drink underage (Mexico you know).  The town was like an old western except instead of horses it was ATV's and motorcycles.

Sounds like fun, would join you but I too have to work.

@Sparrow, an ATV is an all terrain vehicle, otherwise known as a quad bike.  The 90cc size you hire at the dunes are small and easy to ride.

@Slyshooter, I like the sound of planned sick days for MadMaz.  In NZ we called them MDO's....Maori Days Off.

@FunkyD, the lowest we got quoted for a 250cc was 100SAR/hr. If you got a 250cc for half that, I wanna know How??

funkydelicguy

specifically, i got this 90cc ATV that's why it's cheaper .. :D:D:D

Problem is, I've finally managed to work for a boss that I actually like and perfectly compatible with. He trusts me a lot, so I can't do that to him. Really can't :cool:

@nzpounamu - I would like to join at another time when I am free - so keep me on the mailing list. I will still be working on thursday and then the evening I will be spending with my neighbour celebrating 'Thanks giving'. 

Enjoy!

Apologies ladies and gents.  Habibi has to work tomorrow so are moving Red Sand Quad biking to Friday (26th) morning. 

This is what happens when the boss has visa issues that have prevented him from returning to the country for the past week, and someone else has to cover the back log.
