Hi @JeromeFJ dropping out of this one as I’ll most likely be busy on Saturday afternoon, so don’t want to hold up a spot.

Have a great one!

Good morning all, 

In preparation for tomorrow, please ensure that your car is ready, and any unnecessary item is removed. We will have high dunes, and will try to maintain a steady pace, you don't want to be disturbed by things moving around.

The exit point is a bit far from Dubai, consider sufficient allowance if you have a program for lunch or in the afternoon! 

I will issue the convoy order by the end of the afternoon, stay tuned.
