Happy new year all!
After a nice camping in New Shweib and the border with Oman, we waked up and started to pack all the gear.
Later refill and move to Shweib, where we met with Recovery Fairy! It's BULLDOZER!
After deflating 5 cars moved in to sand, we almost made it to big dunes, but then some rejections, recoveries, and one out of convoy decided to move out, and not continue. So we stared our way back, after few few and few more recoveries (thanks Said and Stas)
After we got one car back to track, we started our way back to Dunes, but with shorter route.
It all went very smooth, trough nice big and small dunes, and tricky bowls and annoying bushes
Some nice stuck's demonstrated (guess who?) with nice recoveries, and Diesel coffee (yes it took some time to recover)
continue driving on soft sand, trying to keep it more up the dunes, we make our way to exit from area 53 just next to military place.
Yet, it was not enough, so we moved back to some shade, prepare BBQ, enjoy some shisha and cigars, a bit of fire. And back home!
So 5 in - 4 out.
Stas - thanks for second lead!
Guest (Renat) did nice!
Bulldozer, well - recovery, sweep, some nice business class seat for my sister, well - all in one + coffee! And thanks for making this trip happen!
thanks all!
I guess some pictures are coming up from Said soon (but some thing was wrong with camera focusing )
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We had a lot of fun, and we made it on time to get Said out of sand by 4 PM
