how did "shwarma" get inserted into this request? If @Ishak & @DP1011 crave shwarma, we'll have to extend the drive from Nahel to Al Ain airport so lunch will be with shwarma 😂

Good morning all, 

@Luke K P @Shaun J @Aser @Julien Recan @msa @Robk @Gautam Banka @Frans M @Cristian @Deepak Eswar @Amr A

In preparation for tomorrow's drive, please ensure your car is ready and anything loose or unnecessary is removed from the backseat and trunk area. All your offroad gear shall be securely strapped.

We will see how is the desert after the rains of last week. There might be water remaining at the starting point. Please assess to avoid getting stuck in the mud. If there is too much water, just wait before crossing, and we will enter from a different place.

The convoy order will be 

We will use Channel 5.

Please let me know during the day in case you changed your plan.

See you all tomorrow !
