As per COVID precautions it's maximum 3 in a car.

Quote

• Not more than 3 pax in a car and if all 3 aren't living together, then they should wear the mask inside the car too.

 

 

Also you can get shovel from any hardware shop near your house for 15-20 dhs or from Dragon Mart, ACE Hardware or Speedex.

 

Please find the list of mandatory off-road gear at newbie level after the first absolute newbie drive:

• Safety flag

• Tire pressure gauge
• Shovel
• Fire extinguisher
• Medical kit
• Radio (walkie-talkie)

Hi @Shaaz Sha

You can join with your family.

Edited the COVID precaution for additional clarification.

• Not more than 3 pax if they are not part of the same household, then they should wear the mask inside the car too.
