Enjoy 

Amazing Vedio..

Thank you all for joining the drive. It was fun filled drive with amazing driver's. We all met on time and after quick deflation and short safety reminder we headed to explore khatim desert. Due to movement restriction in Abu Dhabi Emirates we planned to meet at 6am one hour late than our normal meeting time. I always spend some time to plan convoy position prior to drive. This time it took me few seconds to decide. I set the position as per the RSVP and it was a good call.@Naveen Raj was in second lead and followed my instructions precisely at all time and i was amazed to know that this was your first fewbie drive. @Josh T.with his monster GMC truck at third position was cutting all the ridges into half on its way which made easy for the others behind him.
