A big thanks to @GauravSoni. @Looper and fellow sand surfers! I had a great time playing in the sand pit! @Mario Cornejo 's big smile captures the sprit of the trip! Will load some more pictures when the gallery opens. See you all again on the sand soon.

thanks @Hisham Masaad for organising the drive, it was enjoyable, fun and safe drive... I really enjoyed and I wish that u organise more and more drives in Badayer area 🤗.. it was also great meeting @Patrick van der Loo, @Mark B, @Gary F and @Tareq Al Turq I'll post some pic, in the drive Gallery Looking forward to drive with u again Ahmad

Drivers make the drive. You guys were amazing, yes short convoy, but all was keeping the pace, controlling, and with very good driving skills managed to keep moving. Weather was helping to enjoy. Dunes somehow disturbed and got irregular and unexpected after the windy days, but at the end, drive was good and i personally enjoyed, and hope all of you. Thank you @Patrick van der Loo for joining as SL, you did it perfectly. @Tareq Al Turq amazing SW, and @Mark B @Gary F @Ahmad Neratglad to meet you again and thank you for joining. Look forward again to see you in sand friends, and wish you a nice week end.

Great drive, loved the pace , the on time finish .. the temperature too. Thanks for the tug @Hisham Masaad , my kinetic rope finally got some use. And then again twice in one day helping the guys in the wrangler near the exit. Valuable lesson learned too in distance between cars , when you have been completely engulfed in sand from @Ahmad Nerat stop and don’t assume the car has cleared.

What an awesome drive again @Hisham Masaad - it is always a joy driving with you. Great convoy and speedy drive during a great temperatures’ UAE morning. Thanks for having me as 2L.

Perfect drive! Thanks to everyone. @Looper @DP1011 you are the best!

It was great to see @GauravSoniafter ages . Thanks for understanding and helping me exit. I am sure I missed a great drive. I could feel the 1 hour 20 mins I drove it would be going to an amazing drive. The convoy was strong and responded well. @Zedif you would have not come with a trick you suggested I would be struggling to get the car back to Dubai. Thanks a lot man. Looking at the picture @Gertjanhas posted I know I have missed a lot of action. Great clicks. I think I took the right decision of exiting the drive to avoid any further delays and mess up the drive for others which would have happen. There is always a next time. I managed to drive normally back straight to the dealership and they were not too helpful and informed me if the error comes back get the car back. Just as I reached home the Transmission service indication showed up again with the Engine oil check light. I had to arrange a tow vehicle. Latest update throttle control there could be some sand and possibility of entering transmission. The sad part here is the service advisors at the dealership are not very knowledgeable which makes it worse. The first thing i was informed because I went offroad this error could have come without even looking at the car. Though under warranty and service package they are unable to confirm if it would be covered and reason is sand entering. It sounds really funny but this is the truth. I was given example also by the service advisor if the car goes in water the warranty will not be covered. Where I informed the advisor that I understand it is a car and not a boat. @Mario Cornejo VTC SWB 😍. Inshallah may be next one . Until my car is back and I join you guys ,Have fun and drive safe.

Hi everyone, wow! what a morning! a solid convoy and an interesting area that tested our skills, from dealing with technical areas, soft sand, climbs, switches and more. A big shout out to @GauravSoni for hosting the drive, it is always a pleasure to attend the drives you organize. Everyone drove amazingly well: @Gertjan, @Jaro Tuzinsky, @Waqas Parvez, @DP1011, @ASAD., @Benjamin, @Chris Wing and @Zed Unfortunately @Vaibhav had to leave early, I am sure I echo everyone in hoping you get the issues resolved with your Jeep. If the issues persist, then remember there must be a VTC with your name somewhere in the UAE 😎💪! Wish you all a great rest of the week! @Gertjan thank you very much for the pictures and documenting the drive! Superstar! 😁

Amazing shot @Gertjan!!! Waiting for more !!! (Gallery is open!)

Couldn’t agree more! Was a really great drive this morning, nice pace with a nice difficulty level, really enjoyed it thanks @Hisham Masaad

Thanks @Pavel Pashkovskiy for the Coffee /snacks As Always!!! It makes a difference to drive and makes it more enjoyable with coffee break:) @Looper What a fantastic FB drive, the blend of technical and long range was so well balanced and Fantastic display of skills by the entire convoy ! @george charbel U did brilliant as SL, being your first one!! And thanks @Gok Krish for sweeping us and those couple of quick tugs made us kept moving swiftly. See you all soon in sands again

It was gr8 drive and enjoyed it... apart from the initial hitch ... from which I learnt how to tow a stuck vehicle ... tnx @Ale Vallecchifor ur patience .... The whole convoy was superb for the soft terrain looking forward for more drives with lots to learn and fun.... tnq

Thankyou everyone for a fun drive and lots of crisscross practice. I feel a lot more confident in what I'm doing now 😅😅😅 https://carnity.com/gallery/category/1747-fewbie-al-hayer-to-faqa-dubai-3-jun-2023/ Here is some pics in the gallery. Managed to get two of the horses! See you next time 🙏

Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for a great drive yesterday afternoon. I really liked the way your draw your lines in this vast playground of Nahel - Sweihan. As usual, making the most of the terrain and the time frame available! @Fabien Monleau @Jona @Bashar Beasha @DP1011 @Naveen Raj @Amr Aydin very smooth ride, it was a pleasure to share the afternoon with you !

@GauravSoni what a great drive! I really enjoyed the fast paced corners and climbs this time my gearing came along much better which also equaled to great pace. myself and my small support crew had some good fun with the ridge riding. @Vaibhav I hope you can get your jeep sorted out soon I know Mopar can be really frustrating sometimes; I hope to see you soon. @DP1011 another great drive to tick off mate! I will see you soon @Looper always a good drive when you can show us all your looping skills! Did very well in SL as expected @Mario Cornejo you were amazing as well! Always awesome seeing your car power through the dunes it’s like having first class tickets to a dakar rally session Always great to see familiar faces @Chris Wing @Gertjan @Jaro Tuzinsky @Waqas Parvez @ASAD. @Zed and everyone else I may have missed out

@GauravSoni This was what I have been long desiring for, Long range , IM in AD/ Al ain, kept missing last few but finally today was the day! Thoroughly enjoyed cruising around and as @Mario Cornejo mentioned such strong convoy made it possible that we made the most of time! Those ridges/bowls/criss crossing / technical, it had everything to offer us💥💥! @Looper Was good to see you as SL , true to your name , you had your first loop on highway itself😅 and someone who fills his fuel tank 4 times in a day😂😂, Always good to see you all guys! @Vaibhav@Mario Cornejo @Gertjan, @Jaro Tuzinsky, @Waqas Parvez,@ASAD., @Benjamin, @Chris Wing and @Zed

Yeah thanks for the tug Gary 😂

Hi guys, happy to see you in 1 hours time!

What awesome drive @Looperand @DP1011
