I wanted to thank everyone and especially the support team members for making this drive possible. Without you guys we would never be able to take a convoy of this size through the dunes ! @Rob S@Ishak@Senthil Kumar 

After the briefing we all ventured out on the trails and came across several herds of camels. Some of them were happy to see us, some other... a bit less  

As a big chunk of this drive was on farm tracks, it kept a good momentum and only a few refusals. We took a break in a secluded cozy resting place surrounded with trees. I love that area and usually put it in my itinerary whenever i do a scenic drive around that area.

Towards the end where we crossed some technical dunes on higher elevation, there were a couple of refusals but all of them handled brilliantly by Rob and Ishak. 

At one point @Yuryhis Dodge felt like taking a break, and did not want to start anymore for some reason. We disconnected the battery with the help of @Premjit Vappala and @Ishak and waited a couple of minutes and Voila ! The beast was roaring again !

All in all a great morning out with a fantastic convoy. The ones who were on their first drive i have to applaude ! You guys and gals rocked !
