Dear Desert Wanderers, 

I fell in love with Pink Rock the very moment I first set eyes on her majestic beauty. 

Reaching the Rock from Tawi Nazwa, heading North East, is always a refreshing experience in the morning. With the sun predominantly on the right side still low above the horizon, the visual on the dunes will be perfect: bright orange the wind sides, darker red the slip faces, an ideal adagio to refine our dune reading skills. 

In an inspiring crescendo, Pink Rock will be progressively unveiled in front of the convoy with more and more exciting views. I've gone through this route many times, but not a single time I didn't find myself in awe for the magnificent landscape: one doesn't really realize the true meaning of the name, "Pink Rock", until he/she makes it to the top and actually sees the color or the rock..

Moving South from the Rock will be equally fascinating, an allegro andante along the route to Big Red going through a never ending sequence of convoluted, diversified and fun dunes. 

Big Red doesn't require any presentation: it's BIG, it's RED, and it is one of the nicest dunes in the UAE. The view from any side and from any elevation, from the top or from the bottom, will be worth alone the whole drive: the Gran finale for the day, before exiting on the tarmac on E44 Dubai - Hatta Road. 

@Yusuf Esaf, @Hennie Schoeman, @Franco Swart, @Arun Mathew, @imranaasghar81, @Aus Alzubaidi, @bassel el rafei, you are confirmed for this drive. 

Looking forward to meet you on Friday!

Dear @Lorenzo Candelperghermy name was listed in the "manage" tab for @Wrangeld for some reason. I've removed myself from there and will be joining your drive to the big red. Thanks

Dear Desert Wanderers, 

this RSVP is now closed.

We will have a slightly shorter than usual convoy (9 cars in total), for which you can find below the order:

@bassel el rafei, @Arun Mathew, @imranaasghar81, @Hennie Schoeman, @Aus Alzubaidi, @Franco Swart, @Yusuf Esaf, this drive is going to be technically demanding, requiring your full concentration until the very end, so make sure you come well rested. Also, please consider carefully if you wish to bring passengers along with you.

You're all pre-confirmed for the drive this week, however your final participation is subject to your "totally agree" confirmation of the specific post about the new Covid-19 restrictions and requirements for the drives, which was shared with all Carnity Members in our Whatsapp Group last Tuesday. Unfortunately numbers are rising and we will be therefore much more vigilant this weekend and beyond, until the pandemic will be hopefully under control - which clearly is not yet the case.  Make sure you confirm that you totally agree with the new rules: no confirmation = no drive... it cannot be said clearer than this.

Also, be aware that if you don't comply during the drive: 
1. You'll be escorted straight out of the desert.
2. You'll earn yourself a ban from Carnity. 
No one is exempted: the rules apply to you, myself and anyone else on the drive. If you have any questions on this, let me know.

See you on Friday morning, ready to go (i.e. deflated and flagged) by no later 7:00am (sharp).
