Empty Quarter Crosssing
Posted: Mon January 26, 2009 07:15 AM UTC

Anyone interested in joining us for a crossing of part of the Empty Quarter (Rub' Al Khali)desert. My friend and I are planing for an expedition to various sites there including the Wabar Impact site, a strange place of black glass and white rocks where a huge meteorite impact explosion took place probably in the mid 19th century …(quite recent in geological terms)...

Hi Goga,
I was away traveling for few days...Anyway, I am based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which makes it easier to make the trip to the Empty Quarter ...

hi Almati,

greetings from Khobar (nearest to the rub al-khali)

what month are you guys planning this expedition ? as crazy as it might sound, i might be interested to do it on my KTM. I hope you have read up on some of the earlier adventurer's experiences in this regard. Its quite a thing to do it.

cheers
Vicky
