Gatch road, as seen in UAE and KSA desert areas is an improved sand road that has been lightly overlaid with a local limestone material called gatch. Teh result is a surface that is more resistant to blowing sand accumulation, and offers much better vehicle traction. Where a 4WD all-wheel vehicle is generally needed for sand track road travel, a gatch road can be passable with a 2WD vehicle.
Gatch appears much like "caliche" as used in southern Texas roads.

What is a WBM road?
WBM stands for Water Bound Macadam, and the term WBM road was derived in the memory of an engineer by name Macadam who designed and formulated this road section. This road is laid by binding the in-situ layers of boulders, stones, fine aggregates and fillers. The filler is made from the mixture of sand combined with either moorum quary dust, or soil that is avilable in that locality.The filler is mixed with water and is used to fix stone boulders and the layers of coarse stones of varying sizes by compacting with a road roller to form the base of a road. The road can be used in this form itself.As an improvement, you can apply concreting or black topping above the WBM to make it better.Please see related link for the method of preparation a WBM road.
