Dear All

First would like to thank you all participants to join this trip... It was a pleasure meeting you all

Initially when the Newbie trip was announced we were having doubts to see more than 10 participants from different level but finally we end-up with 31 participants, however due to weather I have requested some of members who are driving from Northern Emirates not to risk the weather.... so it was agreed that next trip they will join us

Rigowurx... thanks for joining the camping and we missed you on the trip.

JoUAE2018 had to catch up the Jeep Parade at 2 pm so she to miss the trip & we missed her in the trip

All members met on time on Liwa Petrol Station & drove together with Marshal Imad & Kamaran until the Jeep stand in Moreeb. After welcome speech to everyone and introductory to each others, members took a walk in the Jeep stand & we took pictures with new Jeep Gladiator.

After that, we head to deflation point to hit the Liwa Dunes after briefing

It was a very short trip to climb the dunes and enjoy the beauty of the desert for 5 KM but it was memorable moments for all of us. Abdulrazeem you have done a great job as 2nd lead and you were extreme support to all
ANIT's & Newbies .... you were the superstars of this event
Kamaran brother,,, thanks for all the efforts made from Abu Dhabi driving with members until Liwa station and supporting the marshal with road convoy to Liwa and all the tips & advises given to all members during the trip with very clear communication.

Unfortunately we had to end the trip to continue with remain tour plan by visiting the Jeep Parking area for the Parade and allow the members who registered for the Parade to do their obstecal and from what i heard it was amazing

It was again pleasure meeting you all, hope to see your feedback here.

PS: all pictures shared with me it was shared on Abu Dhabi4x4 facebook group.

it was a great experience for me and my family, unfortunately, we missed the drive as the kids and the dogs was tired so I choose to end the trip with a happy memory, thanks to all the marshals and the participants for the great camp looking forward to the next drive, Cheerz

Thank you marshals and support. Was a short trip, but since it was the first time in Liwa for me the main thing was just to see the area and the festival. So I have 0 complaints, and I even left with an AD4X4 sticker for my car, nice! Thanks again, see you next time!

It was also my first time in Liwa. The festival stroke me as a mixture of a medieval military camp and Mad Max. It was definitely impressive!
I was hoping for a longer drive in the dunes and a shorter one around the event area. But I understand that with the weather and all the other ongoing activities + the big number of Newbies that joined the trip it was the best possible. Safety first.

Hadeel, Imad, Abdulrazeem and Kamran did a great job. Thank you all!

Later some of the friends met at the barbecue/camping spot and we had a very good time. I left just half an hour before midnight and reached Abu Dhabi safely before the rain flooded the City.

Short but worth!
Liwa was a new place for me, it would be interesting to visit it also out of this international event.
The festival is a must-see for those who live in the UAE for some years!
I want to thank all the Marshals, also for the organization of the convoy from Abu Dhabi which was a great job!!

and now looking forward for ...a longer one
See You soon!
