7 drivers met on time, deflated, briefed the safety instructions and the plan for the trip, then started our drive in East Al Khatim, the drive in this area was technical with entry and exit to small bowls, until we reached a good sized dune which is perfect for climbing with speed. We put our adrenaline levels a bit high, then took a break before heading towards Al Faya where the dunes were more stretched and allowed more side sloping with faster pace.
We shuffled the convoy order few times to give a chance to more drivers to be 2nd lead, and to sweep.
I had so much fun with you guys and hopefully we will drive together soon.
Thanks Michael for keeping your eye on the convoy and for your help.

A great drive Ahmad and a well paced track through a little gem of an area, with the closing section driving to the setting sun making it especially picturesque.
See you next time
