Fahad Albutairi

Five years after the loss of his best friend, Omar decides to take the road trip they always talked about, but never got to take. Just days away from the birth of his first child, and much to his pregnant wife's dismay, he reaches out to his estranged high school friends Jay and Ramy who have lost touch since Hady's death to take the road trip in his memory. Jay, now a playboy / wannabe DJ, and Ramy, a #activist (with 737 twitter followers!), take some convincing, but finally agree to the trip. The boys decide to drive from Abu Dhabi - via Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria to arrive in Beirut, on what would have been Hady's twenty-fifth birthday. Their journey is filled with speed-bumps - breakdowns, wrong turns, shady mechanics and a camel or two. If all of this doesn't drive them crazy, it might just bring them closer.

These four tales explore trickery and deception, from tire thieves crashing a wedding to a man's frantic attempt to bury a secret for a deceased friend.
