To prevent all drives getting full on Sunday by multiple RSVP, we would like to request everyone to pick ONE DRIVE initially and then book your second or third drive from Wednesday onward. 

Sun - Tuesday - Limiting one drive per member
Wednesday onward - RSVP on multiple drives.

 

I have few members already on my waitlist who will get preference.  Let me know if would like to be on wait list ? Or please chose one drive and waitlist on other .

I appreciate your understanding that this is done with the intention to get max drivers on drives with a fair chance to every one.

Good evening friends,

@Islam Soliman, @tcarrimjee, @Mohamed Seidam, @Anish S, @Arun Mathew, @Nizam Deen, @Jeandre Bezuidenhout, @SureshVNair, @Shaaz Sha, @Gok Krish and dear @Wrangeld

Thank you for joining on this long weekend drive scheduled Saturday , the last day of the long weekend. I hope you all come well rested and refreshed for what will be an intriguing desert drive . Appreciate the members who have clicked RSVP and waited till Wednesday to book their second slots as per the new request from Carnity which has been made with an effort to accommodate max drivers with a fair chance for all.

Entry -  We will be meeting at the start point off Al Ain Road near Murquab , preferably sharp on time and a few min earlier is always good for you to come to the starting point in a relaxed manner. Please ensure to follow the COVID precautions in place.

Terrain and Drive Plan - Murquab offers dunes which are medium to tall, long range which never disappoint. We will first practice all the basics that will make you a better Fewbie level driver and prepare you for your progress further. We will try to cover as much as possible of the long range of the terrain in Murquab and drive towards the closest exit depending on the convoy response. Be mindful there are some tight technical areas in this region which will need your attention and finesse for you to drive with out a refusal/stuck. In any situation we will be there to assist and guide you to get out .

Climate - Cool and Comfy, after all the winter has set in which is a fantastic time to enjoy the desert.

See Up Close - Horse Stables, Camels , Gazelles and Oryx. We will also be close to a massive Solar park which is upcoming in that area between Al Ain Road and Qudra.

As you all are aware, considering a long weekend we have a lot of drives scheduled during these days. Which means some of you including me will be doing multiple drives which ultimately takes a toll on your car. Ensure them to be in as good condition as possible. Please advise if there is any issue or you cannot join in well in time so that other in waitlist can get in. We wish and hope one day all members in Carnity Off Road club get a drive without having to wait.

Lets get ready to enjoy the long weekend!!
