Dear Desertnauts @Nicolò, @RiadJL, @Hani crest king, @Deepak Eswar, @Abhilash Kottakkal, @lucas amat, @Stumpy and @Amr A, I am thinking that in case we reached Faqa in good time, it would be fun to go back to the city via off-road tracks, for those who wish. Based on the time of daylight or dusk left, we can use the tracks driven by locals and some sabkhas to reach Solar Park. It will not be a proper night drive, as we'll be coming from a few hours of off-roading already, but it would be a fun way to get closer to home than the highway on the eve of a weekend. Let's see ....

Congrats Andrew, see you in the sand pit soon

After changing everything at Al habtoor, and a week later, the light is still flashing. They let me know over the weekend that it is an electrical issue and need time to find the problem. Today the advisor told me a "specialist" team came in and will give me a report tomorrow.
