Thanks Khalil,
One of the best drive done, Rob ur great today after your vacation seems today was the best start drive as a Rescue marshal.
Khalil dont have words to express the drive hope Rob will put in words about the drive along with pics.thanks once again all.
A very nice drive in a unique weather with a great company!
That was surely a GNFD Envy drive :drive: :drive: :yesss:
We started the drive at 2:30, Amjed and I were waiting for Rob who mistakenly thought the dirve was strating at 2:30 rather than 2:00. Right after the deflation the fun started… :ymcowboy: dune surfing, side sloping, side cresting … the drivers needed to be 100% alert :ymdevil: . The pace was fast and obviously Rob and Amjed followed brilliantly.
Unfotunately we had to cross an area with high density of bushes, but that was necessary to reach the cream.
We reached the high dune (behind al maha desert conservation resort) and decided to stop to play a little bit there. Took some pictures and then navigated through the high dunes in this area as a small preparation for Liwa scenery.
Then we headed to the two tree valley, area 53, and reached iftar bowl by 17:00. I asked the newly appointed Rescue Marshals whether you want to exit from Iftar Bowl or whether you still have some juice to continue to Al badayer … Amjed was keen to make it to Al badayer through Pyramids and Rob did not object and so we did :ymdevil: :drive:
Thank you Rob and Amjed for the company … it was great driving with you … at some point I was wondering whether the radio was working or not ๐ … but apparently you were too concentrated ๐ ๐
NB: Pictures of the drive are posted in our Facebook page.

Thanks Khalil for the drive & report too, we both ( Rob & myself) were so much excited about the drive & driving that dint even think of the radio, it was only to alert about the bushes & later on exiting at Badayer, rest of the whole drive was like floating on the dunes effortlessly.
Thanks to DO & all marshal from whom we learnt this skill & today are proud that we cud do all this without any issues.
I wud love to drive again with you Khalil, specially AlFaqa area.Thanks Rob & Khalil for the wonderful company & drive.
Look forward more of such drives.
