Thankyou everyone for being on time today. We had a lot of company this morning at the meeting spot, over 75 cars at one point! After a quick briefing we ventured into the Al Saad portion of sweihan, dodging convoys from the left, right and Infront of us... Pushing on until we found some secluded areas to start playing around in. Abu Dhabi really has some amazing desert scapes that just seem to come out of nowhere... Turn a corner and boom, transported to another planet! I think a lot of you got to spot the jeep doing some extreme moves on the top that tall dune.. certainly a lot of excitement. After some long around we eventually found out way into a number of very deep bowls, snaking our way around and building momentum to climb out in a circular fashion. We didn't quite make it to the old lady dune today.. so we will have to come back in a few weeks and aim for it again. Thanks @JeromeFJ @J-P L @Andrei S for supporting the drive, and thankyou to @Steffi @Soap @Diego @Dipu Francis @Krinesh @Myrko @Zsolt @JC_E @essam ibrahim for the fantastic smooth driving. No stucks or shovelling means everyone rose to the challenge and conquered! Enjoy your weekend! And Happy Birthday @essam ibrahim 🎂🎂🎂

Dune Surfers! @khlief @B.K. @nithish468 @Jose Luis Campos @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Sam Selim @Cesar Chacon @Sunstreaker RSVP is now closed! Welcome to the criss cross country! Our drive plan is simple yet demanding.. at the FB+ you are expected to take our skills one step higher — and this drive is designed exactly for that. The theme of this ride is crisscrossing over high desert sand ridges with confidence and control. We will begin by building up slowly, practicing controlled approaches to ridge climbs, getting onto the ridge, and crossing over to the other side at reasonable speeds. As we progress, the pace will gradually increase, testing both your skill and focus. This is going to be a high-paced drive, demanding clear attention and quick decision-making from every driver. The aim is to make you not just comfortable, but also confident in handling ridge crossings as a natural part of your desert driving journey. what you should expect: 1. Step-by-step buildup to ridge crossing techniques. 2. Multiple crisscross attempts over high mounts. 3. Gradual transition into a fast-paced, demanding drive. 4. On-the-spot discussions and learning during the briefing. Our meeting point is : https://maps.app.goo.gl/FpswfwqdxYX4z3Bh7 just behind the NAHEL ADNOC station. you can reach me on 0585827986 for any urgent matters. I completely understand that plans can change, but I do request everyone to sign up only when you are reasonably sure about joining. Last-minute dropouts affect convoy planning and the overall drive dynamics. Let’s try to keep our commitments strong so that the spirit of the group and the flow of the drive remain intact. Looking forward to seeing you on the sand tomorrow morning! I will post the convoy early morning with one certainty!.. @Jose Luis Campos you are my second lead!

Good morning. Reached the location. so many groups here🤗

Dear Gaurav, Thanks for your message! Happy to join the group! I have driven a couple of times offroad in the desert so quite limited experience. Car Toyota Prado - Model 2016 - 4.0 Liters - color Grey, equipped with rear and front eyelets. I have a compressor, and safety flag. I will get and come with a programmable radio. Carnity frecuencies well noted. I confirm that I look at the video. Thanks and see you on Sunday! Matthieu

Hi Luke , Thank you for getting back to me , I fully understand. Wishing you all an amazing drive and lots of fun !!! Definitely we will meet in the sand soon !! Great weekend ahead !

Waitlisted at 19:02 or 03 😵‍💫 Luke, please stop using words like ‘unforgettable’, ‘golden’ and ‘endless’. Suggest to undersell it a bit next time. ”so there’s a lot of sand and we’ll drive over it. May get stuck. Gonna be very hot, and physical labour is probably involved. Also, your car will suffer and we all know whose pockets that’s coming out of.” To the ones that made it, enjoy!

Hi Ishak, thanks for adding me in. However I need to go to the garage after today’s drive so I’ll remove myself
