Thanks @Frederic for the awesome drive, it was a very enjoyable drive, we have got a bit of everything as far as the UAE can offer. 

 

by the way is the fossil rock now closed to Off-roaders? If yes, same for hiking? I recall they closed it some time ago.

Thanks @Ahmed Wagdy for joining us today. The pleasure was all mine. 
 

Yes that’s correct, Fossil Rock has always been labeled as a protected area but since a few months they have completely closed it off for vehicles. Around that same time they found some archeological artefacts so they want to preserve the whole area (rightfully so). I do think for hiking it might be open but I’m not sure. Have a look at this pinpoint:

according to recent reviews it seems hikers still go there.

@Frederic@Danish Mohammadthanks a lot for the great day, it was really fun 😀

Enjoyed to push the Pajero 3.5 to get up to that big dune and to see the effect to lower the tyre pressure to 11-12 psi! 
 

Ps: if someone has a video of the dune climb, I would be super happy to get it 😁

Dear Frederic and Daneesh,

Wonderful drive and time. AlFaya dune was awesome , especially since we were able to climb straight up. 

Crossing from Mahafiz to Maleiha was first 'crossing' for me. 

Thank you for the chats ans sharing of information and knowledge.

Lastly thank you all the convoy members for being so good and patient with each other and maintaining the COVID protocol.

Hi @Frederic, I've seen a cool photo of a good looking white Prado on Instagram 😎. Can you share original here? Thanks.
