Hi @Hisham Masaadlooking forward to the drive. My family is visiting and so will bring them along as well.

@Hisham Masaad looking forward to the drive on Friday! Just confirming the timing - seems the drive is 3 hours (as opposed to the regular 4 hours), starting 7am until 10am. The reason I ask is that I have work after the drive - 10am finishing is good for me, but 11am would be pushing it. 

So, just confirming the times mentioned are correct, and we are aiming for a 10am finish?

Dear @Humayun Ghiasyou and your family are welcome. However, since it FB+ drive, and depend on your family, hope they will not be disturbed, which will make you disturbed, and loose attention to the drive, causing usual refusal, stucks, and missing tracks. Hope all will enjoy

Hi @Hisham MasaadI'm not sure how well they can cope with desert driving and not sure if they have motion sickness. Therefore to avoid delays for the convoy I'll remove myself from the drive.

Have a great drive!
