Dear Desert Drivers

@Zulfikhar Naiyar @Mahesh_ @Mohammad Sayawoush Azad @Pacific @Waqar Sarwar @Alphin Aloor @Joji varghese

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT NOTICE

There is a professional off-road event this weekend Dubai Baja International taking place in the area of Qudra - Solar Park - Faqa. Not sure of their exact track, but for sure they need space, and I don't want to have one of them flying into the convoy from behind a dune. 

I will relocate the starting point further South, close to Nahel

https://maps.app.goo.gl/XqZc3rydA9G1fASv5

It is a bit further away from Dubai, but it is a very nice area where we can approach bigger dunes.

However, I totally understand if it doesn't match your plans for the day, and I will not blame you if you choose another drive or remove your RSVP. 

Please acknowledge reading this post by reacting or sending a message.  Thank you for your understanding.

Hi @JeromeFJ well noted am in.. see you tomorrow 

Congrats @M.Seidam @Stumpy Paj @Naveen Raj @Zed @Rajiv Sam @DP1011 @Looper well done and keep rocking 🤝

Good morning, @Looper! I'm experiencing some difficulties with my car's starting, and I suspect it's due to a battery issue. Unfortunately, this means I won't be able to make the drive today.
