It will be an entertaining drive up and down the mountain. I took it easy because I had the Mrs in the car but you can see that plenty of people havnt because the wall is covered in marks where cars have hit it. When I went there was a Landcruiser that had hit the wall. Front end was completely smahed in and the occupents were being loaded into an ambulance. Lucky for them the small wall is very strong!

Why not try the drive out to Wadi Beh / Mussandum if you want a change of scenery?

BTW, had a brief look on Google Earth. The only place that jumps out as matching that description is the Al Mamzar side of Sharjah Creek

25°18'58.69"N

55°21'41.91"E

No idea if that road used to be private????

As far as I was told, if heading to Sharjah on the Emirates, it's on the right after the main turn for Sharjah. Only one sign though so if you miss it, you miss it.

Sorry, mate, doesn't compute - the Emirates Road is far inland, and if you turn right off of it then you head further inland. Can't see anything on Google Earth that matches the description .
