This one is all about the big stuff.

We’ll start at Al Samar at sunrise and head straight for Old Lady Dune, where we’ll spend some time working the climbs, ridges and crests before moving north toward Nagrah for another round of bigger climbs and higher lines.

From there, we’ll turn west toward Three Trees in Al Saad and take on the massive sidie wall — one of those places that is always worth the detour.

After that, we’ll swing back north-east toward Nahel, with one simple objective: find as many big dunes as possible and climb them.

Expect plenty of elevation, long ridgelines, big bowls, steep faces and opportunities to keep the convoy moving from one playground to the next.

We’ll finish at the Double Bowl with a few final power laps before exiting at Nahel.

Old Lady. Nagrah. Three Trees. Nahel. Double Bowl.

A proper tour of some of the biggest terrain in the area..

We got underway right on time and headed straight for Old Lady Dune.

No warm-ups allowed.

Straight into switches, climbs and some fun lines to wake everyone up properly.

Old Lady was pretty tracked out, which made the south-side climb to the top harder than usual. Rather than keep fighting it, we looped around to the north-west and found a cleaner way up onto the main ridge.

From there, we were rewarded with some stunning views and spent a good chunk of the morning riding the ridgeline all the way down.

Somewhere along the way, we also picked up a random Nissan who apparently decided to join the convoy and became our unofficial second sweep. 😂

Next up were the big Al Saad power bowls, where we spotted a few foxes and had our first bit of excitement with a pop-out. Plenty of hands made quick work of it, and we were soon moving again.

Then it was over to the Three Trees sidie wall, where we spent some time experimenting with different faces, lines and approaches before moving on to our final stop — Nagrah.

We climbed it from both sides, enjoyed the views, played around with some sidies, then climbed it again because… why not?

From there, we jumped onto the trail and made a fast exit.

Excellent driving from everyone throughout.

Fast. Fun. Big dunes. Big lines. And more than just a little bit EXTREME. 😎

See you on the next one @_Herman_ @Jerome @Chema @Zsolt @Yury.bel @Abdullah A. @Piotr. @Cristian
