    i think we should at least check the tow points of all vehicles, any car does not comply should not be allowed to participate. Its very difficult to recover car without having tow points.

    I would like to join but was just checking the journey time to the meeting point and seems like it will take me just over an hour to get there. Which will be quite tight to be there for 1400 due to Jumma salah. Is there any mosque near by where I can do salah?

    Thanks,
    Adnan

    Not sure from which part of Dubai/ UAE you would start from for this drive..
    If you are from Sharjah..then U will reach the meeting point on time even after Juma Prayers..
    If from Dubai..it depends which area u r starting from..
    U can attend for prayers near university city or even National paints. SHJ AIRPORT AREA…Aweer..Al Warqa..International City etc..
    You would be able to make it..Otherwise also..many members do attend prayers before the drive…In any case you can always call the Marshall in charge as well for any guidance…
    See you soon on sand..Drive safe..Have fun

    @asharafkc & @Baher – Thanks both for your reply. I am based in Hudaiba and on my last drive I had to rush even though meeting point was a bit closer (E44). I think the link which Baher sent is the best option so will stop at that mosque.

    See you all on Friday! 🙂
