Thank you Deepak @DP1011 for an excellent drive this morning !

Nice location and itinerary, good mix of technical and wider dunes, perfect pace, a few challenges here and there, excellent management of the convoy.. Beautiful selection of lines, keeping the level on the high side, but always within the convoy capabilities. It was a pleasure to drive under your lead !

(and I was about to forget an amazing self recovery from a deep pocket hidden on top of a dune!)

Excellent drive from every participant, the sand was very soft, and Deepak kept throwing in more climbs, ridge riding and crossing! It was above Fewbie level on many occasions, and you managed very well, always under control. Well done @Ahmed Farouk, @Aser, @Robk, @frederic demolder.

Thank you for the support and more experienced members  @Pascal, @munkybizness, @Bjoern, @Naveen Raj @Amr Aydin for joining also, it was nice to see you after a long time!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you soon.

Thanks @JeromeFJ - It was great to have your experience right behind me, and that helped me to keep up with the momentum . Indeed that hidden pocket recovery will be cherished for a long long time . My most challenging so far ! 

It was absolute pleasure to see everyone so punctual and we started our briefing sharp 7! I cant agree more with the way the convoy kept accepting the challenges with very minimal refusals, managed smoothly by the experienced members. 

Very well done all the FB guys - @Ahmed Farouk, @Aser @Robk @frederic demolder !  Did not hear anything from you guys @Pascal and @Naveen Raj - Which is an indication of how nicely you managed in soft patches churned up track   Hope you guys too had fun ! 

Thanks for anchoring and supporting the convoy @Bjoern, @munkybizness !  and thanks for sweeping us @Amr Aydin ! Was absolute pleasure seeing you all and looking forward to another one soon ! 

Below some stats on our drive today ! 

See you soon all in sand !

Its one of my favs !

Hi to all! Just joined, looking for new contacts in Dubai and new experiences in the desert off-road. I ride 2016 Pajero GLS in stock, just tried couple of times to enter the sand, and it was amazing feeling.

Please say hello back if you are active here and ready to chat about desert driving with newbie. And please, could you advise, what kind of effective external deflator for Pajero to buy? Could you advise brand/model? Thank you!

Welcome to @Carnity buddy. Before I answer you, can u give an indication how frequently you planning to be in drsert? once a month or every week?

Thanks @Carnity and @Frederic for taking lead on this- Very well planned event, was Fun and great way to start 2024 from where we belong to - The Sands✌️❤️!

@Issam Atra Friday night, Park ur car clear that no one can block it😂!
