Wander to Mleiha

A trip to a place foreign to the modernist and familiar to the heritage. Where the sand meets the rock and where the terrain changes in a short span of time. Mleiha is home to a lot of tombs from the previous times and a haven for archeological sites - if you're curious. This place holds a diversity of terrains from red-orange sand to mountainous paths and a whole lot of farms. It is said, in previous times, this area used to trade with those in Umm Al Quwain. It was like a trade-off between the sea merchants and the land herders. 

Coming into the new year, Wander thought of throwing a dropped pin somewhere new, somewhere authentic (not to say that the other locations weren't that too). Hosting its first session of the year, equipped with enough brownies and conversation, Wander wandered.

Soul Conversations.

Among the dunes of Dubai. Wander got out with a bunch of souls to bring the winter season to a start. Our seasons are two, hot summer and cold summer, unlike the rest of the world. About 30 minutes down the road from the city we all know too well is a playground that runs for as far as your eyes can see. The desert connects the cities around the Emirates and, contrary to popular belief, there lies plenty of opportunity for discovery and driving routes never driven.

With a growing drive to road trip the world and meet like minded souls, Wander has seen people embrace the concept and run with it - their own way.

Drive With Wander

For sometime the Wander headquarters has been contemplating shooting through mountain silhouettes and curvy roads. As the weather gets better in this region here on-wards, we decided to kick start our season with what we've been contemplating. So! to the mountains we went!

On this Wander, we took along with us a few coffee lovers from town (a.k.a @dropdubai) and they provided our Wanderers with cold drip coffee specifically brewed for the trip (as seen below).

It humbles me to see the individuals that yearn for nature come together. We all share a passion, and a drive for wanderlust. This is who we are, and this is what we do.

Yours truly,

Caffeine Cruise meets Wander

On a corner of an intersection lies a tree-house haven, a fusion of motorbikes and good good coffee is Cafe Rider - a home grown coffee hub built on authenticity and good vibes. Throughout battling the concrete jungle and pushing through the metropolitan lifestyle, people seek comfort in the road most Friday mornings by heading to the furthest point in the Arab Emirates - be it on two wheels or four wheels. The Caffeine Cruise paired with Wander and created memories.
