A beautiful new adventure..my favorite so far.
Day 0: caught up with Big Red, Armin and Geni on Sheikh Zayed and made a mini convoy with Armin leading us. As we got close to our destination we got caught up in an intense fog, made things interesting but not challenging enough for Almosters :028:
Reached the gas station where we bumped into most of the members. Re-fulled, ate some fried Popeye's chicken and headed to the camp site.
Some members were already there, even had food ready for us (Thanks Dastoori(and wife off course) for the yumy sandwitches (can't remeber the Iranian name for them sorry lol), Salhanai for the chicken in a bag u got along, and Salvatore for all the beef you stuffed me with!). Knajia and Toby had fashioned a very interesting "Abu Dhabi styled" chairs to sit on. Toby was about to have his toes lit up from being so close to the fire so he could warm up :045:
Day 1: From flat and smooth ground to higher and higher dunes....absolutely breathtaking. A couple of stucks and pop outs from a few members but thankfully no major issues. Have no idea how we'll be satisfied with other deserts now!! Liwa is THEE desert! at least in my opinion so far.
A BIG thank you to our legendary Marshals for their efforts and non-stop support :045:

Liwa...........niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :like:
As Rashidjass attached more than 200 pictures (Thanks Rashid Bhai) and all the members above has described the Day 0 and Day 1 no need to say anything else than it was amazing. Now am gonna talk about Day 2.
At the end of day 1 the remaining drivers gather in the camp and set the fire, everyone was talking about the drive and how beautiful the area was

Than Armin was feeling bored and decided to call the Madam Ghost, and to our surprise she showed up but she was a bit upset at the beginning

But Armin knew how to deal with a Lady and even convinced her to dance for him as you can see in the below picture

After this magical show and Hamdan one of kind Shay Karak (Thanks Hamdan) was the time for all to have some sleep and prepare for the coming morning.
At 9 AM we started the trip where Bu Salem was the leader, Khatib in second lead and Caprihorse as sweeper, we went in some areas which i could not even imagine that they exist, we climb some dunes higher than 15 floor building, the sensation was intense and the adrenaline flow was constant.

After the drive was done you can see clearly the smile of everyone and can tell how amazing Liwa is

At last, i would like to thank the Almost family for this amazing trip, Special thanks for all our unique Marshals, newbie’s, intermediate, advance drivers and not forgetting our Crew for all the good moments.
PS: when are we going back?
