Many thanks to all participants, to be part of this trip.

First time camping in the desert, truly an amazing experience! great company, breathtaking weather, getting high on Persian tea :D awesome night!
Morning started with Al Falasi having a discussion with a real live Camel :D . Drive was definitely more challenging than previous ones, which meant a looot of learning thanks to our beloved Marshal Capri :051:

Thank you for a memorable trip

For intermediate, we had a great drive. I think this was one of the best drives I had till now. lots of high dunes, crests. and all that stuff. few stucks, but for good reasons, some for soft sand, other for saving the rest from not going the wrong way, and some to avoid other major damages. except one stuck, mine, was for rushing and not giving it momentum before cresting. thanks to all who joined us, and great team and body system. thx to Bu Salim for marshaling and thanks for bringing your family and the treats. all newbie, you wont know what the treat was until you become intermediate :P
