Full Day Fewbie Desert Drive - Liwa Crossing - Abu Dhabi - 19 Feb 2022


Frederic

Recommended Posts

Let's aim to cross the "unprecedented" Liwa Crescent from one side to another.

To experience the magic of Rub’ al Khali (Empty Quarter) the largest uninterrupted desert on Earth!

The Liwa Crossing through Empty Quarter offers a chance to witness nature in its purest form and in itself is a transcendent experience. However, traveling through the largest desert in the world is not something that should be taken lightly.

It will be a 150 - 200 km off-road drive covered within 1.5 days through amazing breathtaking views and the enormous size of dunes on earth.

What you will find here:

  • Tallest sand dunes (200 - 300 meters)
  • Steepest inclines and drops
  • Longest side sloping
  • Broad ridge riding
  • Faster heartbeat
  • Sweaty hands

Mandatory rules for Liwa Crossing (exceptional) drive.

Considering its seriousness to keep you and your vehicle safe, these strict rules will be applied to all.

  • For Fewbie level you must have driven at least 5 Fewbie drives with Carnity in the last 3 months.
  • If you are newly promoted (1-2 drives), then select one level lower drive than your current off-road rank.
  • If you were away on a long break (more than 2 months), then select one level lower drive than your current off-road rank.
  • It is highly recommended to drive alone, as it's a very serious and demanding drive to stay focused at all times.
  • Maximum of one passenger allowed - No exceptions and trip lead will send you back.
    • Make sure that passenger has no fear of heights, motion sickness and have been to full-day off-road drives before.
    • As once we enter the desert, the only way out is from the other side, without any early exits for 100-150 kms.
  • Everything in your car should be strapped and secured - All vehicles will be checked by the trip lead.
  • Convoy size - strict adherence
    • Fewbie: 10 Cars + 1 Lead + 2 Support = 13 Cars in total
    • Fewbie Plus: 10 Cars + 1 Lead + 2 Support = 13 Cars in total
    • Intermediate: 10 Cars + 1 Lead = 11 Cars in total

 

Drive Preparation: 

  • Your car should be in 100% pristine working condition, so double or triple check everything. 
  • Full-size spare tire with a lug wrench to match your wheel nut size and its depth.
    • For aftermarket rims - Your lug wrench also needs to match the wheel nut depth.
  • As it's a long full-day drive, so catch up with enough sleep in advance.
  • 5-10 liter of water per person.
