And a short video of Y60 hill climbs starring @Ahab Shamaaand @Rizwanm2 

Thanks @Rizwanm2, excellent video, fully reflecting the scale of these bowls and dunes!
For this last epic part, I've run out of batteries on both cameras, so I only have a few minutes. But all the other raw videos are here (will be a 4K, sorry for making everyone scroll a lot). Thanks @Gaurav and all for excellent drive!

Someone already here 

Thanks, everyone, it looks like the car option suits me (at least I fit well in the trunk of a car). Ventilation will do with the roof sections (on Wrangler its easy)

For this weather.

I have a good air mattress that fits both a tent and a car (trunk and rear seats folded down) + have very little staff to carry with me + for 1 person

Pros for car: fewer operations, don't care about the wind, don't need to carry a tent. But never tried it

Pros for the tent:..... I know what to expect

I was actually thinking the same, drive out Friday night and camp! 

Super, would be great to camp together. My whatsapp is +971588951021 (to avoid offtop here)

BTW if anyone is ready to camp before the drive - let me know. There should be perfect conditions for astrophoto (not as perfect as in spring, but at least no moon)

Without the booster you still can enter with a fresh PCR - no? I have less than 6 months since my last vaccine - so don't need a booster.

Seems like the need to have a green Al Hosn has put a lot of people off. Did my PCR yesterday evening in Al Zahra - no waiting time, the result was ready in 12 hours

I used to drive Fortuner quite a bit across South Africa.. And I can say that driving 10 hours was absolutely nice experience (did it many many times). Didn't do a lot of off-road though

I've also rented Prado a few times in Oman and can't say it was noticeably better on the road

Fortuners are often driven by various service companies ... so driving it is like buying yourself a Lexus ES :)))

Is it possible to share on WhatsApp ?! 

40Gb? you know the answer 😜 I can share raw files and you can play with them as much as you want. But as I mentioned we kept quite a long distance between the cars and climbed high dunes one by one, so its not a lot

My video from this amazing drive. Fortunately for safety and unfortunately for impressive footage, we had to keep a high distance, so not a lot of other cars here  

One more time big thanks @Srikumar for this fantastic experience

Guys kindly share  any videos or pics you have taken in this drive … it was fun 

@Mus_hus78 Share the cloud folder link and I'll upload all 40Gb from my GoPro

Finally got the appointment at Mina Rashid centre for tomo morning 11am and airline confirmed 72hrs... Hopefully get the result in time.

@varunmehndirattaBTW if you go without a roof, take a jacket and a hat for the morning

Just done my PCR. Tried SEHA in City Walk to save 100 AED, but the waitnig time there sims like much more than an hour. Did it in Al Zahra - as alawas no waiting time

Green status in Al Hosne or PCR test.. Not a big issue, but good to know. Green status lasts for 30 days I assume after the last PCR

Apex Rapid Precision Value 3.0 or Apex Rapid Precision Value 3.0 XL?

For 33 you don't need XL (I have 34), XLs need for 37+ I assume

Original Jeep TPMS sensors also will be fixed with no issues

complaining that these valves affect the desert drives

In Carnity we know that only skills affect desert drives 😁

Great feature in my experience, you can deflate all wheels in 1 minute. I am using them for a year or so, no issues were detected. The only specific is that they are not suitable for the fuel station's air system - so you have to inflate them by yourself (in any case, we all here have powerful pumps and rarely use air from the fuel station)

Please add me to the waitlist!

Here is the extreme winter mode. Superb experience, also the car is much lighter and faster

Essential was to buy mirrors (in Amazon all come from the US, so 2 weeks waiting time). These I've got for 120 aed, shity quality (had to work with needle files), but work!

For those who love remote locations and astrophoto - 23.412565° 54.390732° is the entrance point, and then you can drive 5-15 km inside the desert to the east. Unlimited places for camping inside the dunes from the left side.

Deflating is a must, but the track is easy and safe

💥💥💥💥💥

Is it an actual track or convoy just folowwing some direction finding the path? E.g. can it be done by 2-3 cars (lets say Carnity interemediate level) as a holiday trip?
