We plan to explore Bu Hasa area near Madinat Zayed City this time and head towards Liwa Oasis direction.

Driving through Bu Hasa area requires your utmost focus, perseverance, patience, and the assurance that your 4X4 vehicle is in top notch condition. Next to your vehicle your off-road gears should be in good condition too with fully charged radio with backup battery (or backup radio) a necessity for the long day drive.

This drive is a full day drive and those who wish to join this drive from Dubai it's a 3+ hours to the meeting point and from Abu Dhabi approx 2 hours, so ideally well rested body will enjoy this whole day drive without much fatigue, so reaching a night before and camping or sleeping in the car at meeting point would be ideal, but completely optional for everyone.

MUST READ AND TOTALLY AGREE: COVID19 Precautions

Two Way Radio Guidelines

  • Every Offroader brings his own radio, programmed to the frequencies described in below advice topic.
  • We will not share spare radios or program your radio on the drive. If you need assistance in programming the radio, post a topic on the Carnity website with your questions and we will help you out. 
  • Make sure your radio is fully charged. It will be your only way of communication while driving.
  • Before buying, please carefully read below advice so you are informed properly on which model / cost / shops...

@Rob Harper @Hasan Wahlan @Mus_hus78 @Taufique Surve  @Amanda Milnes @Karthikeyan Govindarajan thank you all for joining the drive. Please make sure that your vehicle is 100% in technical fit condition, we plan to go deep into the desert and recovering a broken vehicle in this terrain is an absolute enormous task which will take hours and in some cases we might have to just leave it behind. Please be aware of the long journey and the extreme stress your vehicle will undergo in this terrain. Get your vehicle FULLY inspected before joining this newbie exploration drive. Make sure fluids, battery, spare wheel are in optimal condition. 

Make sure you have fully charged radio, shovel, off-road flag, pressure gauge, deflator and air compressor. If you have any other off-road gears apart from this mandatory list please bring it along. And very importantly carry Jerrycan with 20L of extra fuel. If your car is equipped with dual tank or 100 plus liter capacity then it is not required to carry any extra fuel.
