    Sorry to hear that Duli. I plan to drive outside Dubai a lot this winter so hopefully you can join next time.

    Only a few more spots available guys. And hoping at least one Marshall can join. :thanks:

    Good stuff Philip. Safe travels and enjoy SA. 😀

    I will reserve you a spot.

    Registrations are now closed so I will be locking the topic.

    If there are any changes please contact me or post on here. Thanks all.

    I will post coordinates tonight in the post itself. :thanks:

    Hey guys, I’m pulling out as I still need to fix a proper skid plate which is highly required for this drive. I’ll keep my spot for someone else. Hope there will be more of these drives this season!

    Thank you Asem for the pics. Great drive today from Al Saad all the way to Nahel. Thanks all for the company and the fun. Huge dunes and super soft sand. What more can you ask for!
