Wrangeld Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Drive Idea I don't always want to get up at the crack of dawn - or earlier, but I still want to do a desert drive, so a twighlight drive is my answer. It starts in broad daylight (that means quite ot these days, but as the night closes around the temperature drops and we get the chance to drive at night without having to stay up until so late that it's impossible to function the day after. So the plan is to start with Lisaili which has some of the most wonderful wide swooping dunes in the region (once you clear the technical dunes), stop for a lovely sunset and then continue through the landscape which leads to the Qudra dunes and all that offers in terms of slide sloping and a route to let us arrive tired, but happy at Last Exit in time for last orders at Spicy Village.

We expect every member that joins this drive to go through below information and and strictly follow these guidelines in order not to jeopardize someone's health, and to ensure we can keep organizing these drives safely.

GauravSoni Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Hi @arjumand welcome!! For radio …you can buy from dragon mart…. Baofeng UV5r or UV9R should be good! Don’t buy the once without the display as you will need to program the Carnity channels. A good radio will cost you max around 150 AED… if you bargain price can go to about 130.

Daniel Yang Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 @arjumand hi mate, my boy(2.5 years) got carsickness and vomited up all he had eaten inside the car during last friday's morning drive. Also lock them on the car seat for 3-4 hours are too long for them. Believe me they will only enjoy first 30mins maximum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
