3. Bowls of Ramlat Sweihan then Faya Express to exit We counted 7 bowls on Gaia, and we visited them all. The most famous Death Bowl was actually muddy due to the rain on prev night, but 360 Bowl and Gohan Bowl was better. When we exited Ramlat, it was on the exact point where there's an opening in the fence, and just outside the fence is Sweihan Pond waiting. There's an easy option from there to exit to Tilal Sweihan ADNOC, but since we wanted to test our fuel tank capacities, the convoy opted for a longer Faya Route. We side-sloped our way towards Faya ADNOC. Levels: All the bowls are for Intermediate level, though FewbiePlus may be able to handle them, depends on how confidence they are climbing to exit the bowls (entering is always easy). Sweihan Pond to Faya is for NewbiePlus and above, lots of long range dunes for side-sloping or just driving 70 km/h on smooth flat sand.

Thanks a lot @imteeaz. We'll surely reach that area and enjoy it.

Dear @Jona, @Beide Worku, @Imteeaz, @Tareq Al Turq, @Ranjan Das and @Salim Akhtar, welcome to the drive. As announced on the post, please start looking at the area we'll visit, from Nahil across Nagra and beyond, to select the waypoint of your choice. You may refer to the screenshot of Google Maps that I have posted, searching within the area that I have highlighted in red. Begin exploring from the planned meeting point and study the area through any mapping application you are used to utilizing; I personally use My Trails, but most I am aware work with Gaia. Once you have found a point of interest that you wish to reach, please take the waypoint, and post it in this thread. I'll collect the chosen marks by Friday morning, so I may look at them together, and devise a suitable drive's plan. We'll share together, before setting off for the drive, my reasoning for the route that we'll plan to take. Thanks a lot, and keep me posted.

First waypoint ( @Imteeaz's) set.

I was wondering how I got there in the first place, as I only opted on the Fewbie drive (eager to see how the Fewbie drive will be) . However, now I have removed myself from the manage list ( I guess I will reach there soon 😁)

24.37207, 55.51787 @Ale Vallecchi i have provided the coordinates for now - at the foot of Nagrah Hill - lol

DRIVE PLAN The drive will be built as a "compilation" of waypoints, one chosen by each driver, which the lead will try to connect with the smoothest, most effective, and fastest route possible. You will be provided with a picture of the map of the general area that we plan to visit, and our starting point (see above). After studying it on any mapping application at your disposal (Gaia, My Trails or even Google Maps), you should submit your chosen waypoint (a special dune, a sabkha, a farm, a group of trees), that you'd like to explore. The selected waypoints will be posted on Friday, and the plan will unravel from there, connecting the dots.

Congratulations @Dan S enjoy the new level

Thanks Islam. Yes I have removed myself from the Manage List.

Thanks @Ranjan Das. Second waypoint added, at the back of Nagra, separated from the first by a nice "valley" with trees, and a set of tall dunes.

@Mahesh_ U need to move yourself from manage tab to Going / Add yourself to Waiting list - Manage tab is only for Leads/Support staff

Naqrah hill itself is a bit further, but no doubt you guys will have fun in that area

Congrats. You'll surely enjoy the fewbie level drives! see you out there sometime soon!

Good evening, New to the forum and hope someone could help. I am looking for a valve cover and gasket for my car but it seems that it is out of stock wherever I go or try online. Anyone has any idea as to where I might be able to find these parts? Thank you

Have u tried OEM dealers? If yes, try megazip for OEM parts to import from Japan. https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-avtomobilej/nissan/safari-42934/safari-61432/wfgy61-622708/cylinder-head-rocker-cover-7861241#/il-187187755-3290457-3290457

Hey @Islam Soliman! Hope all is at ur end. I haven’t driven since March and wanted to see if I still know how to deflate the tyres let alone drive on sand, as a start 😂. Looking forward to seeing you again after such a long time!

So now we know, the rim exploded for Insta glory!

@PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke I can imagine would have loved to listen to it! So this means they gave in and you'll get a new set for free?
