Moreeb Dune Challenge 2024
Posted: Sun Dec 31, 2023 11:40 am
LIWA!!! Paradise for an off-roader.
It's not just a saying it's a reality. One needs to be in LIWA to experience it.
This was a 2 nights camp drive, but I had other commitments so could only join for one day.
Day went by as usual with back to back meetings, but excitement of visiting LIWA for the first time with my fellow Almosters that to when Moreeb festival is on, was endless.
Later I found Almosters from Dubai were also starting around same time, so I joined them on the way and formed a convey of 5 cars (@Rashidjass , @Scorpio , @ahmadtodxb , @Moustafa19 , @AZK89 driving together on road with Almost4x4 stickers/emblem, on the way to LIWA another Almoster @Germain joined near Madinat Zayed making it a convoy of 6 cars.
Upon reaching LIWA we directly went to the infamous Moreeb dune. Witnessed some challenges and fireworks, had dinner from the on the wheels restaurants.
Finally headed to the camp site where our founder @alshamsi_m was waiting with rest of the Almosters. We had a round of chitchat, stories and tea. Finally at 1:30 we went for setting up the tent.
Woke up early at 5 am and came out of tent to enjoy the mesmerizing beauty of nature.
After breakfast, we waited for fog to clear and around 10:30 we started the drive in mighty dunes of LIWA.
@Scorpio and @Rashidjass provided support and @alshamsi_m led the convoy. We did couple of nice drops off course newbie level and drive ended with only few recoveries.
It was my first time driving experience in LIWA and it couldn't have been better than this.
Thank you to all supporting Almosters, @Rashidjass , @Scorpio and our beloved founder @alshamsi_m for arranging this drive and giving me an opportunity to be a part of this.
See you all on sand soon.
