Recommended Posts

Maliha - Kalba Desert is a very good learning ground for absolute newbies for their first time desert driving thrilling experience. If you have already driven in sand before then you can learn more from experts having decades of offroading experience in the UAE. This area offers a good mix of playable long set of dunes and broad ridge to test your off-road control. Drive will start with detail briefing, followed by 2 hours of driving in sand dunes and then break for refreshment over a feedback and assessment session for each offroader. After the break, we will head to the Fossil Rock enjoying the beautiful climb and amazing landscape of the desert sand and mountain in one place. The other side of fossil rock offers a picturesque view of vast desert from top of the mountain, making a perfect selfie spot.

All first timer absolute newbie drivers will receive a detailed briefing before the drive starts to learn the basics of desert driving, techniques and etiquette. They will also receive the safety advise, recovery procedures, best practice and debunking the myth of desert driving. Newbie briefing will end with an individual advice on your 4x4 vehicle gearing, tire pressure, traction control and SRS options to enjoy your first desert drive thoroughly and safely.

Hi @Rajeevan Vickneswaran, @Denver Martins, @Michael sammy, @Gawie Herholdt, @balaji0007

Welcome to Carnity Off-road Club. Could you please share the following details:

  1. Which 4x4 vehicle you will be driving?
  2. Do you have any previous offroading experience?
  3. Ensure that your front and rear recovery points (tow hooks) are in good condition.

Hi, new to off roading.

Any suggestions to get the front and rear hooks fixed?

Hi Nitin, welcome to Carnity offroad club, which 4x4 do you drive?

Usually most of them has the required tow hooks, if not we can advice further but they are mandatory for any offroad drive.
