Dear Desert Drivers, 

The drive of Saturday will an exploration of the northern part of Sharjah, up to Ras el Khaimah. If you have not yet been in this area, you will see that the desert is all but monotonous and empty. We will see different landscapes, different vegetation, camels and other wildlife, remote farms and small desert towns, with the view of the mountains in the background.

Don't expect looping high dunes at full speed, it will be a crossing between the two Emirates, We will have portions of nice dunes, and we will use tracks and sabkhas to connect between them. Still all your skills and capabilities will be required as we will have to cross some high dune portions, the sand will be very soft in places, and we will have to keep the pace to cover the distance.

@Richard Franks @Suresh K @Alfred Alinazar@Haitham Khattab @JERINE_B @Pacific @Adam James @Amr Aydin @Gerrit Bus @Indra Ozola @Tareck @Frederic are currently in the drive.

I will be finalizing the convoy order tomorrow. Please let me know before 12 noon in case you changed you plans. We have a WL of 4 @Jose Thomas @Senthil Kumar @Ahmed Wagdy @topgear
