What do
you get when you put three mates, a Ford 150, essential supplies and loads of
enthusiasm together? Perhaps a trip of a lifetime!

Dubai residents Assif Yogi, Saif Poovanchery and Akash
Ranjith set off on a road trip to Amsterdam last month with just one main – to
share their love for this city which they believe has given them so much. 

Assif Yogi even told a local newspaper: “We are going to
carry the happiness of UAE – its power to make dreams reality, its vibrant mix
of culture, unity and tolerance – to the countries we’re travelling to and
share it with the people as a leading example of a new civilisation in the
making.”
