almost4x4 style in Sweihan ( 5\11\2010 )
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 11:07 pm
Dear All
It was a long drive to Sweihan, we had the Friday prayer then we head to Al Fayaa Station where everybody started to join. Ali Thamer & Sabah were the first to arrive and Al Khatib along with Shebo were that last.11 cars joined this trip & 1 Quad Bike
Well drove to the deflating point then had the briefing before we hit to the sand. The first 15 Km were marshes and sand tracks but then we made it to the dunes. It was a challenging combination, Soft sand, white & direct sun light with no shades so you can’t tell where the edges are or are you going up or down??? Amazingly everybody passed it with no stuck.:032: Then we drive to the water Oasis in Al Khatim area I believe. From there, we drove for around 10 km until we passed by a camp site with around 4 families enjoying the weather & trees shade.
After crossing halfway, the big dunes started were we enjoyed the safari style dive on those dunes until sun sit. We stopped to enjoy the sun sit and relax after a long drive and charging for the night drive. After 45 min we started to night drive heading to the end point. It was really challenging since the biggest dunes were the last part. We all had great time and ended the trip as planned at 8 pm. From there everybody drove to Sweihan Petrol Station to fill up full & going home with nice memories of this area.
Before I leave I would like Thank the following:
1. Falcon & Hamand ... Thanks guys for your help when I lost my second lead & my sweeper
2. The brothers Samer & Baher for joining us.
3. Wasem's friends... sorry I didn't get their names
4. The Quad Driver ( Ibrahim ) sorry for the sand splashes I gave you :013:
Well guys … till me your part of the trip
Thanks
