What started in 2022 as Emirati resident Mohammed Al Mazrouei’s small clean-up effort at Exit 116 in Umm Al Quwain has turned into a viral desert hotspot attracting visitors from across the UAE and GCC. With the help of volunteers, rescue teams, and local businesses, the once-neglected site was transformed into a safe, well-organised gathering place for car and motorcycle enthusiasts — complete with rescue support, marked routes, and weekend events. Today, Exit 116 hosts regular community gatherings promoting safety, cleanliness, and responsible adventure. What do you think — should more UAE desert areas be turned into organised community hubs like this one?
