Sweihan offers amazing broad and tall dunes in Abu Dhabi offering perfect learning opportunity for absolute newbies for their first time desert driving thrilling experience.

Actually .. I think I just earned the world record for longest journey ever to get from T1 to T3 at DXB. 

26 hours and 8 hours of flying. Good news is, now I am here Friday.

What happened?

Was supposed to fly TRV - DXB - LAX for a trade show, but when I arrived in DXB this morning they told us the trade show had been cancelled. Would have been OK - but for the fact that I did another leg DXB - TRV yesterday (to originate on the whole flight). As I was on EK even thought you might be 'driving' 😂 

Like I said, at least I am here and free Friday so now I am spoilt for choice.

Welcome @Gordon Grimmond, glad to have you. Can you please clarify as I have not seen a JR Cruise from Toyota yet. Does it have atleast 10 inches ground clearance and are the tow hooks in the front and back in good condition.
