Amazing drive. Despite the high temperature, all showed on time, and got ready to move. Had to do briefing while starting the drive, since it was really hot and not convenient to stand more under the sun. As soon as radio check done and briefing over, we started crossing the most un pleasant part of mahafiz, with many bushes. Visited few bowls, and started moving towards faya. Faya was really amazing with very smooth un touched track, allowed us to keep moving, crossing the little fossil rock, till we reach the back of faya dune. All made his way climbing and down again, from both sides of the bowl. All enjoyed, then after that to faya. Wanted to reach top, and start taking videos for all, and suddenly found most of you guys already behind me 😅. Thought, will stop for few minutes to try to enjoy the sun set, and the wind, which was not bad. Down from the center of faya, to ask big boys IM level drivers to climb from the right side.By around 7 started moving out. @lucas amat first time driving together, you did amazing job, with your little liberty Jeep. I really liked how you were driving and appreciating your car capacity. Keep it up. @Saverio Arena again first time meeting, you did very well, no issues all the way through. @Abdelghani @Hugo @KAMALIO good job, nice meeting you again. Big thanks for the support @Mohamad Anwer @Benjamin @Pacific and @salah2u sweeping us. Thank you friends again for joining, and the most important for the great job, exiting without any shoveling or tugging, which was really tough to do under such weather.

Nice weakened.

Take care
