Mleiha: Refreshments in a hidden wadi after a thrilling ride in an expedition truck

With the exhilarating experience of exploring the picturesque Mleiha Desert in a specially designed Mercedes-Benz UNIMOG vehicle, the ArchaeoMOG tour at Sharjah’s Mleiha Archaeological Centre is capturing the hearts of adventure travellers. Travelling through the vibrant desert landscapes of Mleiha in this custom-built expedition truck, combining adventure, leisure, and educational experience, the tour offers a lifetime experience to the visitors. The 2-hour experience begins with a tour of the Mleiha museum, followed by a walkthrough to the Mleiha Stables through the gazelle enclosure. The guests will be then journeying onwards in the UNIMOG to the ‘Valley of the Caves' for a short trekking experience and crossing the old quarries to reach the final stop in a hidden wadi, where refreshments will be arranged. The expedition truck, specially designed as an ArchaeoMOG, gives a true and raw exploring experience to the discoverers and adventurers of all ages. With breathtaking activities in the picturesque landscape, it is a first-of-its-kind experience in the United Arab Emirates and is a favourite among local and international visitors alike.
