00:00My name is Khaled Al Matroushi. I am from Sharjah.
00:07I joined Fana Drive in 1995 with my group.
00:14This year I will be joining Fana Drive for the 24th year.
00:20Fana Drive has become a habit for me.
00:25I can't live without Fana Drive for the past 24 years.
00:30I have a lot of stories in Fana Drive.
00:34I can't live without Fana Drive for the past 24 years.
00:39I feel that the organizers here are part of my family.
00:44I know almost all of them, including Marshal.
00:48I have a lot of stories.
00:52One of the stories is that I had a surgery.
00:56I left the hospital on Thursday.
00:59On Friday, the next day I joined Fana Drive.
01:03Ms. Naheed knew that I was leaving the hospital.
01:08She insisted that I don't join Fana Drive because she was afraid of me.
01:12She didn't agree until I brought her a letter from the hospital
01:15asking me to join Fana Drive.
01:17I joined Fana Drive two weeks later.
01:21She called me more than five times while I was in the middle of the desert.
01:26When she saw me, she was scared.
01:30I saw her in the camp at night.
01:35When she saw me, she was afraid of me.
01:39She grabbed me and said,
01:41Khaled, there is something wrong with you. Come to the hospital.
01:44I felt that she was like my mother.
01:48Fana Drive is organized.
01:53I organize events like this one for Gulf News.
02:01I congratulate them because it is an experience.
02:09I joined Fana Drive 24 years ago.
02:12I don't know how many years ago.
02:14It was in the middle of 1935.
02:19Whoever organizes this event should be applauded.
