Wow @NOOR OMAR what a breathtaking video. Although the drone shot was a bit shaky, maybe due to the high winds but the overall video made the hair stand. I guess this is a good time to post the trip report. This was 1 of the trips we enjoyed so much that we had to continue on the Saturday. We all met on time and we deflated and headed in. We drove by the fence for less than 3 kilometers before taking on the dunes. The convoy level being very experienced we drove at a fewbie+ level. We drove at a good pace through some fairly small to medium dunes and headed through 2 of the 3 pyramids to approach Iftar bowl at sunset. One by one we tried climbing the Iftar Bowl and failed as not only was the sand soft, but 3 bumps that broke the momentum badly. Only Noor was able to make it to the top. We heard One of our members was in trouble and headed to the back of Iftar Bowl which was not a pretty scene. The car had got a wall of a dune head on and after a little inspection the gear oil has leaked. With a lot of patience, coordination and some really hard work @Gaurav bhai we moved it to a flat and high ground. A pop-out also had to be fixed. Soon we realized that the car was not going to move on its own power and we could not pull it out due to the location we were in. Thanks to @shadow79 who had the idea of what was to be done. After removing the gear oil cooler we headed out locking the car. Saturday we were back and drive in within no time for Saleem to make the necessary temporary fix. Pumping oil was another challenge as there was no was but to do it from under the car. We managed it just before sunset and headed out. Just adjusting stuff by the road side and the police shower up, so the police report was made within no time. We headed to inflate our tires at the Adnoc pump and headed back home. Thanks to Gaurav bhai for some awesome sandwiches on both days and Noor for some fireside sausages, sweet potato and corn. Until next time, stay safe and thank you for being family away from family.

Good day to all ... It was a lovely drive and awesome weather ... I enjoyed it all thanks. Here is a video I hope you like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxMF54QZR2c&t=8s
