Hi Almosters,
It’s been a while, so this drive was a great chance to shake off the rust. We started early in the morning, and the area was buzzing with off-road enthusiasts still getting ready. To avoid the crowd, we headed toward Old Lady, which was relatively clean compared to the usual track to Nagra — and we had the fresh dunes all to ourselves.
The drive was a nice mix of technical terrain and mid-sized dune cresting. We pushed the pace at times to observe how the convoy would respond, which made things even more fun.
Overall, it was a great day with enjoyable early morning weather, some delicious watermelon, and even better company.
Big thanks to @alshamsi_m, @Rashidjass, and @Scorpio for the amazing support — and to @Moustafa for the special treatment.
Looking forward to the next one!

Hi Family.
Summer drives are the ones that I enjoy the most.
324km round trip from home.
Daggerfal plan an amazing track and we had really fun.
A couple of stucks but nothing out of the normal.
I did a couple of second tries, the weather was super hot and the tire pressure was increasing a lot and super fast.
I was position toward the frost half but we experienced everything with the last man standing.
Thanks to Shamsi, Rashid and Scorpio for the support.
See you next weekend

Hello Everyone
My main objective of this drive was to support @Daggerfall, but it turned out to be another fantastic day in the sand,
I just arrived from a work trip in Europe and my body is still adjusting to the time difference and temperature but couldn't resist to be there with the team.
I was the first to arrive at the meeting point which was a bit inside and it was a verygood idea by our organizer becuase there were so many other groups and it would be chaios. Also the convoys were driving tours Nagra, so our leader changed the plan to take us to the Old Lady instead, which gave us a free area to play in .... Thanks @Daggerfall
We had the support of @Rashidjass and @Scorpio, which gave our leading marshal plenty ot space to play since he has powerful support marshals.
The drivers did very well to so as I said, it was another fantastic day in the sand.
Looking forward to see you soon
Cheers
Shamsi

After a bit of a break, this drive was the perfect way to shake off the rust. We kicked off early, dodging the crowd by heading toward Old Lady—where the dunes were surprisingly fresh and clean. The route offered a great mix of technical terrain and mid-sized crests, with a few pace pushes just to spice things up. The weather, though hot, was bearable in the early morning, and the post-drive watermelon hit the spot. A couple of second tries and minor stucks added to the fun without slowing us down.
See you all on sand soon.

Hello Everyone
After spending sometime with Almost4x4 you will wait the summer to come
, as our great marshal @Daggerfall s very active in hot weather
The area was very busy from meeting point but our leading Marchal was choosing a very good track to avoid a crowded area
Track was very nice with beautiful mix from Sweihan and we couldn’t really feed the time
I hope to see many trips in the application in coming days
Special thank to our founder @alshamsi_m
Our supporting Marchal @Rashidjass and @Scorpio
See you soon
Below is a trip video link will be much better than my report

I had the honor of sweeping this convoy — the last line of defense, the guardian of the rear! From the very first crest, the area was buzzing with activity, but our lead Marshal carved out a brilliant route through the chaos, keeping us flowing smoothly like wind over sand.
The track was a perfect blend of classic Sweihan: silky bowls, sharp crests, technical pockets — the kind that keeps your adrenaline high and your tires singing! The convoy moved like a well-oiled machine, and honestly, time just disappeared in the dunes.
Looking forward to more trips dropping in the app soon — the desert is calling, and I’m always ready.

We enjoyed an amazing and safe Intermediate Drive in Sweihan with the Almost4x4 family. The route offered a fantastic mix of long-range dunes, cresting, and technical lines that made the drive both exciting and rewarding.
A special highlight of the day was the relaxing break with fresh watermelon and Karak tea, shared under the desert sky—perfectly refreshing and a great way to bond with the team.
Big thanks to Moustafa and Pregy for their warm hospitality and thoughtful gesture. And of course, kudos to the Marshal and support crew for a well-organized and smooth drive.
