For those wondering, it looks like a mid 80's era Ford Bronco.

Notice the 4x4 driving to the top of the hill at the start of the vid Shocked Makes me wonder what the driver going up thought as he saw the bumper of another 4x4 appearing over the brow of the hill. In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

You have got to admire the way the driver floors the throttle just at the moment the vehicle rolls back onto its wheels. That act seems to kill the rolling momentum and restores forward momentum. Just try and imagine what he must have been saying / thinking / feeling at the point he starts rolling.... Also notice he doesn't stop at the bottom. Bet he just drove straight home and kissed the wife Laughing Disco 4 TDV6HSE

Fairly sure the dune is 'big red' between Dubai and Hatta...
Popular with the locals (and some not-so-local) for testing the limits of their vehicles and their belief in I'nshala... not so much whether they can reach the top, but how fast Shocked
