    Amazing trip report Brian!

    There is something mystical about this place. The gorgeous dunes of starfish, that become ‘curvier’ and more ‘voluptuous’ as you progress in your journey, are like sirens beckoning “come here, come here, one dune further, I am fancier than the previous”.

    They gave me a serious warning on my last trip one month ago when after a steep slip face my car stalled and refused to start. It was
    the fuel pump fuse that fortunately was quickly identified and replaced by one on the ‘mechanics’ in the team. This time around however the sirens aimed at the heart of my car, the cooling system. After a few attempts we could bring the temperature back to acceptable levels but it was clear that I had to call it a ‘trip’ on SF9 (there are 16 waypoints) and with the help of all the team, could head towards the nearest sabhka leading to the ‘scape point’. From there Tijn and I could easily reach the main road near to the UAE border while the rest of the group, now five cars, continued the adventure.

    Just back from the garage, it turned our it was the water pump. I was very lucky to be able to drive all the way back to Dubai:-)

    Many thanks to the team for the great driving and the good company. We will come back again!

    Predictions for Friday night

    Lo 22°
    RealFeel® 21°
    Precipitation 8%

    It looks like it is quite unlikely we’ll get wet 🙂 It is however recommended to check the weather forecast tomorrow.

    Really enjoyed the flexibility and ‘loose’ hierarchy on this drive. It indeed helps improve driving skills in general and it is more fun. Also driving on a small convoy dramatically reduce ‘waiting’ time as well as the whole thing feels more organized. Thanks Amjed for executing this new format very well and thanks Kumar for the nice route.
