All met on time early morning in Musaffah and moved to Madinat Zayed then to Liwa - Arada where we filled a fuel and hit the sand at around 10:00 .
We drove over Liwa’s large dunes, Sabkhas and super soft sand spots. Sank in those deep bowls and ascended up out, some times in one attempt and other times in stages. We experienced that great voice generated by sand layers when slides down pushed by the vehicles’ wheels like if you are on runway of larg jets. We saw the spectacular variety of mixed sand colors over the different areas and had nice breaks and laughs in various places.
Cherif and I Shared the lead and side sweep tasks until we reached Moreb Dune by the end of the day and had a nice big break over Moreb Dune itself that we drove up to its peak from the back side. Cherif and I had double stuck situation when I was trying to help him get out from a very tricky spot I stucked beside him and we told the team that we were doing this as a demonstration for them to learn but it was 1st of April yesterday so....
Was a great day in Liwa and the first timers had a new experience in desert/sand and saw a different UAE natural features. This makes me recall Khaiwi’s signature statement : “If you haven't been to LIWA, you haven't seen the desert yet......” Totally true.
Although the drive was Intermediate++, the two Intermediates ,Sand Storm and Ahmedalhammad, did very very well. Thanks Omari for taking my guest (The newbie F-16) in your car as passenger. He really enjoyed that.
The two Advanced ,Nikofen and Rexterra, were the 2nd lead and Sweeper. You guys are great and I always enjoyed driving with you.. Thanks my friends Moukhtar and Niko.
The album is already created in the gallery ..upload your photos there
Thank you all. Cheers

Thanks Tawalbeh and Cherif for showing the rest of us what Liwa is all about.
(It's about Double Marshal Stuck, but I didn't say that aloud did I?)
I don't know how some of you managed to drive all the way back to Dubai. I was totally dead when I got home.
Thanks for everyone for extremely nice company!

What a great day, it is unique. Thanks Tawalbeh & Cherif.
I'm still very happy since yesterday.
Nice big dunes and spectacular seens and sounds.
Enjoyed seeing all, old freinds and, Nico and his family.
Nico, I think you will realize what happened with the Dubai residents following the date and time of my post. But it really worth it. Can do it again next week and the week after.

thanks tawalbeh, cherief and liwa dunes .... what an amazing trip.
you guys have left your marks all over the dunes, its no more a virgin territory . before the trip i could not imagine that a car can do all this and go over this complex terrain .... but you guys are owesome! camels!
thanks sandstorm for flying F-16 with you .... what happened in the car, stays in the car.... the olive oil was really special .
anxiously awaiting the next trip so i can take my own car ..... and hopefully bring it back in one piece .
next time lets see who goes furthest up the Moreb dune, from the front side and not the back side.....
F-16

(Not really happy about the picture quality since the focus of the camera seems to be this time on my Jeep and not on the sand The camera can do much better.)
