Thrill-seeking just got itself a new address in the UAE, with Sharjah all set to open the XQuarry Off-Road & Adventure Park this weekend.
Located around Al Faya Mountain in Mleiha desert, the park is the UAE's first off-road and adventure park and boasts 15km of tracks, 20 custom-built off-roading obstacles, and mountain bike trails. A dedicated obstacle running course, hiking trails and a remote-control car area are some of its other top offerings.
Spread across approximately a million square metres of an old cement quarry, the focus of the park is to provide outdoor training and education for people to master their skills and be responsible when pursuing such adventures.
Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer, Chief Operating Officer, Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) said, "Mleiha, home to rich history and landscapes, is already well-known among the travellers for its diverse desert experiences. The new adventure park, being the first of its kind in the UAE, will provide a set of completely different experiences for off-roading enthusiasts and adventure lovers and will give them more reasons to explore Sharjah's central region."
Saoud Al Kaabi, Director and Partner, XQuarry Off-Road and Adventure Park said, “I love the silence and tranquility of the desert and mountains. It’s important for me to share the beauty of my home country with other people and especially, get the younger generation out in the nature to explore and experience adventures in a safe environment. XQuarry is just a step in that direction.”
The park will open to the public on February 5 and 6 from 9am to 7pm. Entry fee is Dh15; kids can enter for free.
