Afternoon Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - Lisalli Technical: Islam's Farewell drive - Dubai - 13 Oct 2024

[DP1011]

Drive Plan :  

This drive is to celebrate Our very own, one of my Fav Marshals @Islam Soliman's Contribution to our learnings and passion for Technical drives. Islam is leaving Dubai for good, to be back to his base, Egypt, and hence this drive has been planned.

Brace up for immense patience as we will be navigating through one of most challenging dunes of Lisaili, heading towards Chimney ( If time permits ) - Brace up for lot of stucks & Recoveries ! The drive will be a fast pace ( Only when compared to speed of Snail! ) 

We will have evening coffee during the break or during recoveries - Only time to tell when that will be !

Thanks @DP1011 for adding me to this monumental drive with our friend @Islam Soliman.

He had a profound impact on my early experience and skills building in NB and FB levels. @Islam Soliman, you will never be forgotten and often remembered fondly as a patient, calm and very communicative marshal guiding the next gen of more experienced drivers progressing through the Carnity experience levels.

Looking forward to our drive together on Sunday.

Wishing our  @Islam Soliman a heartfelt congratulations on an incredible offroading journey as you prepare for another journey back home. Your leadership and passion have inspired us brother, and the desert won’t be the same without you.

I surely remember my couple of drives with you. I won’t be joining this farewell drive but taking this as an opportunity to wish you all the very best.

May the Almighty bless this next chapter that you will begin soon. Amen. 🙏🏻

I did my first drive with Islam. Back in the day it was a tiny renegade and we joked that next drive should be in yaris. Looking forward to say thank you and wish the best!

Wow ... 680 drives alone between the Manage and Support team members on this drive!

@Islam Soliman thanks for all the memories! My 1st Fewbie drive was with you one of your famous technical drives. I learned so much on that drive and all the others with you as lead or in support. You are a true gentleman. Sorry that I can't make the farewell drive. All the best with your next adventures.

Thank you @DP1011 for a wonderfully challenging track. Good to see some familiar faces and those that came up from hibernation. The banter on the radio was enjoyable to listen to and participate in. It was hilarious that our friend and star of the drive was the one who got stuck not only once but twice.

@Islam Soliman we wish you and your family all the best in happiness and health, and a smooth relocation. We'll be keeping an eye out for Egypt drive announcements.
