Dear @Srikumar in all honesty 5.15 am is too early! May I kindly request to make the meeting time at 5.45 am, most of us are driving from Dubai for 1.5 hours and we need to fill petrol that is out of the way, which will add at least another 30 minutes to the journey. Therefore, I ask you to reconsider the time adjustment to make the drive more enjoyable for us, I am sure the other Dubai resident offroaders suffer the same issue and would agree with me?!

Please advise?

Thank you,

Mohamad Anwer

Hi @Mohamad Anwer 

While this will be my first time in Sweihan, I concur that meeting time will be challenging for those coming from Dubai, including me.

I have noticed (from the map) that there is a gas station on E20, couple of KMs before the meeting point.

Hi @Srikumar your flexibility would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Guys, Sweihan every year records the hottest temperature in UAE. If we start the drive late and have a bad stuck or issue closer to 10 AM, we will certainly get cooked.

I do understand that the timings are not the best, but what I can promise that the drive would be worth the early morning rise.
