    Guys, be careful of speed cameras when reaching meeting point. I got fine on last trip as cameras are fixed on mentioned speed (Abu Dhabi).

    You can pray in a mosque on the way. As winter approaches the prayer time will be closer to the meeting time and it would be better and convenient and safe to pray on the way as you avoid over-speeding and reaching late. On Al Ain road, you can pray Juma here.

    Tune your radio to the frequencies listed. Figure out how to manually tune to any frequencies. Please get that sorted before.
    See you tomorrow.

    Thanks Neal for your support especially the complicated recovery . You with your hummer could move sand dunes.
