What an awesome drive! We managed to cover a lot of distance across different desert areas, all the way to the magnificent Sweihan, which never disappoints. Thanks @Frederic for planning and organising it, we were spot on at the exit at 3pm which is not easy to manage on such long drives. Thanks to all the support team and @Zed for pulling me out from that embarassing cresting incident (I think I was the only one who required a tug during the whole drive?). Even though waking up at 4am is not our type of fun, we never regretted it!
My lost front number plate was an icing on the cake!
