I have to be honest and say that for me this is probably a bit to ambitious at this stage. I haven't been in Qatar that long and I don't have any of the required items especially a 4x4, and I'm one of these people that prefers to be self sufficient as much as possible. I would hire a 4x4 but having priced it, it would be cheaper for me to go on a safari. So I think I will wait for Mrs. Bandit to return next year, and we will go together then.
You guys who are equipped are going to have a ball, and I look forward to reading all about it ;)
