Good morning guys!

As we still have a couple of days before we venture into the big unknown, do please double check your vehicle's fluids, spare tire, and overall condition. 

I am super excited for this drive and hope you are all too!

If you have some space left, bring some firewood please. One bag is more than enough 😆

My Abdallah has done the YT twice and Liwa once I hope he will make it from Ghayathi to Arada … extra super excited both of us 😅

the bucket list is closing now 🤣

UPDATE:

Our dear friends @Andrew John Melvill@Aser@DP1011and @Luke K P aka The Thuraya Strikers will be crossing our planned path (yellow line) while doing the Rahal Desert Challenge on the same exact weekend  

With 30 teams of 4 driving in that area, i will alter our planned track a bit. Otherwise it might be a rude awakening !!

 

We are rooting for you guys!!!
