Potential Camping Spots: OPTION 1. If you prefer to sleep in the car, and want to be nearby the ADNOC LIWA: https://maps.app.goo.gl/S3iFtPUpegWJrbv78 OPTION 2. If you want to set up your tent nearby the starting point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/cExrzT4HgyAY44Ve9 Follow the directions for the starting point to pass through the gate, then go a little bit right onto the sabkha. OPTION 3. Camp deeper inside LIWA dunes for a tranquil night: https://maps.app.goo.gl/phKVd7ySsSRX82dTA Enter at this point and follow the dirt track that leads inside the dunes. It's a hard track with little bit of sand, where deflation is not needed. Guaranteed of a quiet night under the stars. GPX file in attachment. Liwa Camp.gpx Myself, i will probably go for option 2 and camp nearby the starting point and sleep in the car. Feel free to let us know what your plan is. The third option is probably the most private one and there is plenty of space in that area to find something that gives you privacy.

Well spotted @AlexM. Moved all timings to 8AM as its indeed much better.

@Imran Asghar@Salim Akhtar as the convoy looks pretty full (incl manage tab), it won't be likely that i will be able to extend the convoy, hence i would recommend you hopping into Gauravsoni's drive, who is doing virtually the same route and we all meet up to camp on Sat.night.

Definitely there will be a few members camping beforehand. With potential fog in the morning it would make sense doing so. Will post a location for a quiet camping spot soon.

@Sreenath G@Fares Adel@ozgu@Menon@Talal H@Srilakshman Karthikeyan@Hani Howeedy@Juzer Talib@Premjit Vappala@Jerry Han@Haneef Thayyil@Richard Franks Thank you all for joining last Saturday. My aim was to explore this area in a slight different way. As the sand was hard it allowed us to move a bit further into unknown terrain and you guys rocked ! Hardly any hiccups and that meant we could cover some good distance and enjoy the scenery. We did some side-sloping as well but at times the hard sand really felt slippery,so we needed to be extra cautious.
