    hope ur all ready for a long day in the sand… pls remember to get some snacks for lunch as we will not be having an extended break.
    pls also bring chargers or extra batteries for ur radios just in case.
    one more thing… the meeting point is almost an hour away from dubai, so plan accordingly and be there on time out of courtesy for the early birds.
