New experience
The ‘Gulf News Overnighter Fun Drive Tilal Swaihan Experience’, supported by Al Futtaim Motors – Toyota, is being held on January 17 (Friday) and January 18 (Saturday).
The Fun Drive is being held in Tilal Swaihan in the Al Ain region under a new format. It is going to be a ‘Loop’, which means it will start and end at the same location. This will also be the first time that an Overnighter is being held in the Al Ain region and the route therefore is brand new and very challenging.
