  2. What is Yellow Truck ? Buried deep inside the Bu Hasa Desert near Madinat Zayed City, there is an abandoned water tanker truck, which due to its remote location, has become a pilgrimage for many Offroaders all over the UAE. How did it get there ? That remains part of the mystery..... What's the location ? You will have to join the drive to find it.... And why exactly should we go there as a club ? This area, together with LIWA Moreeb area, is the ultimate playground for offroading, where you will find monstrous dunes, stadium-sized bowls, and the sheer size and remoteness will make you really feel you are in a different world ! This will be an unforgettable experience and will make you become part of our yearly pilgrimage team ! When?? When ?? WHEN ??

  12. Thanks for the feedback @Bashar Beasha.. it’s natural during early drives that you have such a feeling .. we have all been there .. it takes a couple of more drives to get the comfort and confidence. You did very well for the level and for sure whenever you feel you need more time/space to feel more comfortable don’t hesitate to share on the radio or 1:1. As we always say during the briefing and throughout the drive, we want to have fun and keep it interesting for everyone but there is no competition or stress as safety is no 1 for all.
