Hey Doc, unfortunately I will have to drop out - my wife lands back in AUH on Saturday night…not sure I’d be very popular if I sent a taxi to meet her… 😂

@M.Seidam I will join Saturday night

[M.Seidam]

Thank you all for the update 

the RSVP list so for as follow: 

@topgear @nithish468 @Michael asir @Faraz94 @waqar @Mahmut @Sam Selim  @Rodas

today I have driven the proposed track . It’s doable for the level of the drive . It’s almost a straight line with not more that 50 to 100 meters of tight navigation to the tricky dunes around the straight line . In 80 percent especially the last third is entirely technical with unpredictable shapes and slopes . In the dark is different than the day light and strict adherence to the convoy rules is critical here . 
please check on your vehicle performance and your gear as per level . It’s a slow drive with full focus . Get enough rest before the drive to combat fatigue. 
 

it’s gonna be fun inshallah. Will see you all by 8 pm Saturday at the meeting point above mentioned in the topic . 
 

the convoy list will be done at RSVP closure tomorrow night or Saturday morning. 
 

Cheers 

Seidam
