00:03 - Saudi Arabia's love of cars
00:07 goes well beyond the Dakar experience.
00:10 - Welcome to the Oasis Safiya
00:15 in the Medne province, Al-Qasim region in Saudi Arabia.
00:28 - It's a perfect place for a road trip.
00:30 On board the mythical Ford 1.8 liter,
00:33 it's one of around 50 cars.
00:35 During the winter, we go out together
00:41 in groups of two or three, depending on the weather.
00:43 We visit various sites and destinations.
00:46 - The club brings aficionados together
00:52 as they share their love of motors and adventure.
00:56 (upbeat music)
00:58 - We've arrived 350 members with more than 500 cars,
01:08 including classic and historic vehicles,
01:12 as well as some custom models.
01:14 - It's perfect.

01:26 - These 1.8 liter pickups date between 1948 and '69
01:31 and roamed the roads of Saudi desert.
01:34 At the time, these cars were used for all kinds of travel,
01:38 especially during pilgrimages.
01:39 Today, they're used more for passion and leisure.

01:51 - Here's my car, a '66 model.
01:57 I bought it 30 years ago.
01:59 The engine has changed, but everything else is original.
02:07 So I've tried to keep it as it was.
02:09 I love to see people's reactions,
02:13 especially those who are reminded of their memories,
02:16 their own trips to the desert.
02:18 People often ask me for photos behind the wheel.
02:21 I enjoy these moments,
02:22 seeing them with big smiles on their faces.
02:25 - A chance to fly the flag for Ford enthusiasts
02:29 with a Dakar spirit of exploration.
