First and most important it was an honor having your back in the convoy as usual.

Convoy: a bit of big convoy it was, in which drive was smooth and fun, even though I spent some time separated from the convoy getting my self out of the detch I was stuck in and many thanks to sinan who was there for me.

Night gathering: the most fun and lovely part where all had a good time chilling and chit chatting. And not to forget the super chef Atari we have there for the signature food.

Thanks chief bulldozer for the exceptional time spent, and needless to say how great the drivers were out there.

Hope to see all of you in the sand again soon.

Thank you all, its you all giving the spirit thats the food getting tasty.

Special thanks for you chief BULLDOZER cos its you gathering us.

Abdo, I can't denies you great help.

Hope to see u all again.

I love that the AD4X Family is growing. Was amazing seeing so many new off-roaders together. Makes me proud to belong.

Chief bulldozer, seeing your passion for the newbies- your patience and care is inspirational. Addionally, seeing how you drive the advance, members to their best, shows why members come back to drive with you over and over again.

It certainly looked like a bunch of guardian angels around the convoy on Friday. No drive in Badayer ever needs support when you call. It was one of the new members comments to me, although they were very scared, they never felt unsafe due to all the support around them.

The gathering is always the highlight. Good food by our in-house chef And a place where everyone accepts and knows one another.

My hope for this season is that AD4x4 continues to grow and be a family away from home for many.

You guys are awesome.

Another amazing drive with Bulldozer,

The convoy was so crowded, a lot of new members with combination of old members. Bulldozer did a briefing before starting to the drive and we started to move. After a few km, it has been decided to divide the convoy into 2 to pay more attention to the new members. Francis took the experienced members and Bulldozer continued with new members and support team from experienced members.

There were some second trials and some stuck but in general everybody did well. I had to leave after the drive and was not able to join the most exciting part of the day (barbeque) due to be there with the family.

Thanks Bulldozer and whole team who joined to the drive.

Looking forward for the next trips..

Thank you for the nice drive. It was good to have a newbie drive again in Dubai, I hope it will become a weekly event.

Really enjoyed splitting off and going with Francis. Had the chance to push the Pajero a bit as it was nice to have a lead that knows the dunes. (Normally in Badayer it's just me and a friend driving by ourself) Enjoyed an awesome sunset while waiting for rest of the drivers to catch up.
