It's going to be worth it, with Sharjah's famous red sand.

Hi @Gaurav and all,

it will be my first drive since April, so plenty to catch up on and learn as the vehicle is different from the drowned jk. Please consider this during ordering the convoy. 

I’ll try avoid refusals
 

Best

I just found 2 tons of sand behind my ears. Feel like I have been sandblasted  🤣

Yes, I think with amount of time out of car you are exactly SandBlasted 😁

[ChrisW]

If it’s any consolation, Imran - there are people in Dubai spending a lot for that kind of exfoliating spa treatment 😅

 

That was a really fun drive, thank you @Gaurav - and it was nice to be out with you all this morning. 

[Wilfredo Perez]

Nice drive, it's a beautiful place—pictures there turn out different!

@Jeandre Bezuidenhout, I agree that today isn't the best day for going on the buggies.

Thanks @Gaurav @Imran Asghar @Faraz94
