Action Plan:   Part 2 of the relaxing drive we had 2 weeks ago, from LISAILI TO QUDRA'S SECRET DUNES, looking to sight, once again, free ranging camels in the first segment of the track, then searching for roaming gazelles in the second segment, around the Qudra Lakes. We'll look to flow through the cordons, as easily as possible, save for some tricky spots toward the middle of the drive, where we'll find more vegetation. 

At the end of the drive, if there will still be light, those who wish we'll be able to reach the Lisaili Fort Hidden Cafe, where we can unwind and relax during and after the sunset. It should be less crowded than the last time, when the Eid holidays had probably caused a cafe's overbooking. 

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face masks, rubber gloves, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time: 06:30 PM (at sunset)
