Here are the pictures of an event full of adventure, pop outs, sinking, winching, adrenalin and endless fun. Bundle of thanks to Waqqas Bhai, Asif Bhai, Yasir Bhai, Sajid Bhai, Omer Bhai and other members of the club.

This was our ride for the event. A V8 Elephant that performed relatively better than the previously tested Range Rover Vogue.

LR3 with Yasir Bhai's (@Khanrocks) Prado. I must say, Prado is an awesome off-roader!

The most covered SUV of the event only because it was the only SUV that gave me enough action to shoot. Belongs to Asif Bhai whose driving is as beautiful as his ride, MashAllah!

Checking if the height can be raised because last time we brought the Range Rover and we thought we would raise the height but we couldn't. The good part was, the suspension was working.

A few faces. Badar Munir, who just moved to Dubai and was about to check an item on his bucket list.

Ready to move in... The plan was to follow the coordinates and join the other members at the camping site where delicious Barbecue was waiting for us. Spend the night and start the morning drive at around 6: 00 am.

The first "refusal". Yasir Bhai's Prado refusing to crossing the dune.
