It was indeed a Lahbab loop and here is how it looks - the loop we took , approx 49 Kms driven Thanks to @Ale Vallecchi, we had a very relaxed newbie drive, which occasionally bumped up to a newbie plus level, with some criss-crossing and ridge riding thrown in for added flavour. A mid drive briefing , as is usual on Ale's NB drives helped all of us to learn the theory behind what we practise on the dunes. Other than @Arshad Roojee 's car giving up on him with an immobilized transmission shifter, the drive was pretty smooth with only a couple of minor refusals and a stuck which was easily sorted out by @Waqas Parvez - excellent support at the back. Arshad has informed that he managed to get the car to a garage. @Usman Basit in his GMC Sierra was driving in front of me who did pretty well most places. What was missing was accurate throttle control during some maneuvers , ending up in excessive wheel spin and throwing up/churning sand. You just need to find the sweet spot where you give just enough gas to maintain required momentum, and not to get through with raw power which your car obviously has . For me the drive was a first with my new (used) car - a 2015 fortuner v6, (an obvious downgrade from the jeep wrangler JKU )_....now getting used to the car's behaviour, gearing etc to prepare for higher level drives and find its limits, as well as mine. Good to meet all new faces - @Anthony Cupit - hope you got a solution for your disobedient flag , probably a rubber gasket between the clamp and the roof rail would hold it in position. @James Lovell, @Ali Shah, @Andrei @salah2u @Daniel Rodas - see you all soon!!

Looking forward to the drive after a vacation gap of more than a month... @Ale Vallecchi just to let you know that i will be joining in my new avatar.. a 2015 Fortuner V6.. my profile is updated with the change Sold my jeep before it starts biting back 😄😉 And decided to upskill myself by driving a not so popular/capable car 🙂..testing the newbie waters as a start
