DRIVE PLAN FOR ALL CONVOYS

We have put 3 different meeting points so we can park and accommodate this amount of cars safely. The three tracks will run basically parallel (a few kms apart) from each other and the plan is to meet up with all three convoys at a nice tree on a huge sabkha in RAK. It will take around 1 hour to get there. After taking some nice photos with the three convoys, each convoy will move towards part 2 of the trip where we will head out into the mountains and small village roads. The exit point is also at the same spot.

Below you can see Part 1 (up to the sabkha), and Part 2 of our adventure for Sunday.

I apologize, but I won't be able to attend the driving session.
Unfortunately, due to last-minute changes, I've been informed that I need to work on Sunday.

I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

[Andrew John Melvill]

Looks like a great and varied route, can't wait for Sunday. 

[Matt - monkeywrench]

Really looking forward to this!

I was wondering how "scenic" it will be? I'm thinking of bringing family (wife and 2yr old). He'll be ok in the car seat for that length of time, but wondering how bumpy you think it'll be?

Both will love it. The first part can be a little bit bumpy as we are driving on a farm track, but the second part is tarmac and gravel.

Amazing route planned! I’ll fill up the tank fully (45L) before coming, will that be enough for the whole ride? @Frederic
