    Carnity Off-Road Club Drive Description The Drive This is a proper point-to-point crossing from Al Ain to Sweihan, built for a small, well-matched convoy that wants to cover ground and have fun doing it. We open in Salamat – big, soft, playful dunes that reward momentum and clean lines. Expect long bowls, sweeping side-slopes and a few confident climbs to warm everyone up and set the rhythm for the day. From Salamat we thread north, skirting the airport, into a tighter section of terrain where convoy discipline and reading the sand matter more than power. We’ll loop around Old Lady Dune – a landmark worth the detour – before turning west for the cross-country run to Sweihan: open desert, long traverses and a steady pace to the finish. Why 8 Cars Eighty kilometres is a long way in sand. A short convoy keeps us moving, keeps recoveries quick and lets every driver get a proper run at the dunes rather than waiting in line. Please only sign up if you’re happy with a brisk, sustained pace and a full day’s drive. 🏁 Drive Details Level 🏁 Fewbie Plus and above Meeting Time 06:30 AM Meeting Point 📍 OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS Coordinates: 24.208721, 55.574146 Type of Car Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8–10 inches of ground clearance. What to Bring Loads of water, snacks for yourself, smiles, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. You may need to consider additional fuel - this will be approx 50% longer than our usual morning drives. Approximate Finish Time 13:00 approx. 🚗 Limited Spots Available Maximum 8 Cars This drive is limited to 8 cars only. If the RSVP is full, add your name to the waitlist. Once anyone drops, you will be moved to the RSVP list. RSVP will close a day prior to prepare a convoy list. ⚠️ Important RSVP Rules Members without an RSVP will not be allowed to join.

    Thank you for taking the convoy this morning @ChrisW, Ill have to wait till Wednesday night to meet the Aussie legend @_luke_. Today was a good mix with alot of fun with the baja bits. Although my driving is improving it was still me who had to get a tug or two, the first not giving enough gas to climb a hill following a dip, and the second getting plomped on a bushel - someone had to provide the entertainment . Thank you @JC_E for the pull, the wildebeest is not as light as you thought hey.

    Morning Fewbie Drive - Al Lisaili to Qudra - Dubai - 1 Nov 2026

    until

    Thanks @Frederic118, @Sheho, @Sandeep Padhi, @DP1011, @Hartzel and @khurramm for a wonderful morning in the sand. And for all being ready to go well before briefing time! We started in the lovely Lisaili dunes, learning to control fish tailing on some long range sidies. Then we moved onto the extended secret garden having some fun in the technical dunes and some seriously soft patches. DP and the FB+ boys showing off with some ridge riding! Lastly we entered the secret garden proper for some flowing runs through the clean dunes. With a stop to practise self recovery and shoveling masterclass. Thanks DP for getting crested so well, wheel in the air and all. After that a short drive to the exit point. Lastly well done @Frederic118 for your 1st time as 2nd lead, you did well keeping good distance and comms.

    Thank you @Looper for a great drive this morning! The wet sand and mud gave the desert a whole new character, yet you led the convoy smoothly all the way to Big Red. Thank you for your kind words and for saying I'm ready for the next level. Hearing that from you means a lot. Your drives have taught me so much, from reading the dunes to keeping the right spacing, and I'm excited for what comes next. Thanks as well for letting us help the Porsche. It was valuable recovery practice for me, and I appreciate the lesson behind your comment: rushing to help can give people false confidence. The desert should never be taken lightly, especially without the right car setup, equipment, knowledge and support. A big thank you to @Shiju Raju, @Zulfikhar Naiyar and @Andrei S for their support throughout the morning and to everyone who joined the drive. Also, the drive report with the convoy, map and speed chart is excellent! Looking forward to the next one.

    Temperature outside was 19° when I reached the meeting point. It was also slightly foggy. The ground seemed wet from the dew or rain from last night. It ended up being a muddy drive. The convoy moved swiftly. In the middle we made some changes to the convoy order, so that everyone is stacked up perfectly. Annoyingly someone on a Porche Cayan interjected himself into the convoy one dune before Big Red and after a while gotten himself stuck. @Andrei S, @Zulfikhar Naiyar & @Rachid recovered him. I would have left him to struggle a bit longer before helping. They should face the consequences of stupidity. I wouldn’t have made them feel help is at hand because that will give them false confidence of doing it again. I couldn't drive very slowly, because my car was making some noise in low RPM and was not getting the power in the low end. So the drive was a bit faster for few than they would have liked. I tried to keep it to the minimum possible. @Shiju Raju: You were a perfect second lead today. Keeping adequate distance. @Rory Noone: Congratulations on your first drive with Carnity. You did very well, and you passed the Carnity test with flying colors thrown at you by Andrie. Your hesitation from the start of the drive was gone by the break time and I could see you doing quite well. @Mohammad Javed: It was our second drive together and I see you as a confident driver. @Harish M: After we upped your convoy order a bit you did fantastic. Your hesitation was gone and you could navigate all the twists and turns I offered confidently. @Rachid: You are ready to take on the next level. A big thank you to @Zulfikhar Naiyar at the center forward and @Andrei S at the sweep for all the support. I would appreciate all yours' feedback on the drive. See you all in the next one. Till then take care.
