We had a great afternoon thanks to Imran. He has outstanding skills driving in the desert. It was the last day of 2022, and he drove to show us a wonderful sunset. Coming from there, we experienced some adrenaline going through the dunes, but always felt that he was in full control of car. The meal was outstanding. It was a great way to finish 2022. Thanks Imran. Looking forward to go back again. Happy 2023.
