The enormous new track winds through the emirate’s natural beauties while delivering a thrilling experience. It is located in a gorgeous, thick forest with around 70,000 trees. The track loops back to its starting point at the park’s main entrance and features three ‘quick-return’ lanes for those who can’t handle the full round.
