Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Faqa's South Side - Dubai - 23 Nov 2025

What a day! Thanks for working with me to meet you all. Can't wait for the next one. 

Extremely exciting hunting you all down😂

[Frederic]

Thanks all for joining! 

I think we had a pretty good run with a superb convoy yesterday. We notice quite a bit of cross-tracks in the beginning, which was a reminder that the Dubai Baja Challenge was ongoing in this area the day before.

After @Mike M. took over the lead, he gave us a bit of Baja run taste, which kept us all on our toes, while heading into the area we call "Little Sweihan". Unfortunately that's also when my car decided to "pop a hose" belonging to the clutch pedal hydraulics. We headed to the sabkha and i exited, while Mike continued with the convoy.

In that area as well the Dubai Baja was ongoing, so Mike had to reroute a bit. 

Like Muhammad Ali once said "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face"  

Some days are like that, and on those days i am so glad to be able to rely on such a fantastic family of offroaders. We genuinely never walk alone.

See you all in the sands soon again!

Hey @Frederic Yep, it was an great morning – and with every minute in the dunes, you only get smarter… or more lost, depending on who you ask! 😂 Just checked your profile next to the post and saw it was your 300th drive! That’s straight-up legendary. Huge congrats, my friend! I was also happy to see @Frans M (thx for the cake) again and meet @Mike M. and @Simon D – what a solid team! Thx again organizing the drive
