Recommended Posts

Maliha to Fossil Rock is the most beautiful and scenic desert in Sharjah offering perfect learning opportunity 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 is open for all 4x4/4WD/SUV/AWD vehicle having 8-10 inches of ground clearance and front and rear tow hooks.

You can bring your family, friends and kids, but if you are absolute new to sand offroading it is better to drive alone first to learn offroading without any distractions.

Drive will start with detail briefing, followed by 2-3 hours of driving in sand dunes and then followed by a break for refreshments over a feedback and assessment session for each offroader.

What you'll learn:

  • Introduction to off-roading
  • Desert driving basics and etiquette
  • Desert driving tips, techniques, myth and best practices
  • Off-road and safety gear familiarization and recovery procedures
  • Vehicle orientation, risk analysis, deflation and outdoor safety advice

First time with Carnity Off-road Club:

  • Please share your vehicle details below
  • Prior off-road experience (Yes/No)
  • Confirm front and rear tow hooks

Hi @Gaurav

I've realised that there are 2 Newbie drive on Friday. Will there be any difference between the two or is it just about timing? 

Secondly which drive I should attend to Trailblaze more? 😀

Thanks in advance.

@Denizzalbayrak as long as the level is newbie it will be more or less similar level. Only terrain and time will be different. Choose one that suits you best as per timing or area.

I just ordered online the basic off road equipment and radios...but I am not sure if I will be getting them by Friday.  Can I still join if you allow, hopefully by the third time I should have them. 

Thanks in advance

Absolutely yes, if you have driven off-road before.

Sure, but if you’re still new to offroading we would recommend that you to drive alone first to avoid any distractions.

So that you can focus more on driving and learning, as self-drive 4x4 in desert is a series task and you should try to avoid any/all distractions while learning to do drive off-road.
