International Women's Day - Afternoon Absolute Newbie Desert Drive - Ladies Only - Lisaili - Dubai - 16 Mar 2024

[Gaurav]

In honor of International Women's Day, Carnity would love to commemorate the strength and spirit of women by extending a heartfelt invitation to women of all ages for an exclusive Absolute Newbie beginner-level desert drive experience.

Drawing from our extensive experience in empowering newcomers, we understand the importance of providing a supportive environment where safety measures and driving techniques are explained with care and precision.

This Absolute Newbie drive has been tailored with your comfort and enjoyment in mind. It's our way of thanking all the women in our lives for their unwavering support in helping us achieve our dreams and goals. From being daughters to mothers, sisters, life partners, and friends, women play multiple roles in a lifetime, and this event is our opportunity to celebrate each one of you.

Hi @Gaurav, I'd like my fiance to RSVP. She has always been my co-pilot, it's now her turn to take the wheel 😀
A couple of questions:
- Does she need to register on Carnity for this drive?
- She would be using my Jeep, you already have all the details about the car on my profile. What other info would be needed on your side?
- I'd like to join her on this day, would it be possible for me to passively be there?

Thanks!

Yes please, and with that free ID she has to RSVP for this event.

She still needs to fill in the details for your Jeep, as it will tie that info to her profile.

Just regular profile info fields, those are mandatory with an asterisk, including Emergency contact info.

Most welcome, but rem you said it "PASSIVELY" here, so you don't distract her and be a good boy, lol.

[Ishak]

@Rasna bring your car here, under the guide of very good marshals

[Nicolò]

I promise I'll be a good boy 😂
I'll help her out with the registration, hopefully she can RSVP by tomorrow. Thanks @Gaurav for the help!

[Amr A]

I will be a good boy too 🤣

Excited to see you @Gaurav and @Vanessa8580

Obviously you too @Frederic although the last time was 3 days ago

Great to see you all joining this Absolute Newbie drive for ladies to celebrate International Women's Day with Carnity.

I have trained more than 1,000 Absolute Newbies in my off-road tenure and know exactly how each of you must be feeling now or on the day of the drive. Be rest assured, you will enjoy the day out in the sand with complete safety and will return loving your car more than before. That's the usual comment I keep receiving from people, why we haven't tried this before...!

Thanks, @Vanessa8580 (Carnity Lady Marshal) for joining this drive and sharing your passion for off-roading and experience of several years to help introduce the fun and excitement of desert with newcomers.

I would request you all to please introduce yourself along with your car and off-road experience (if any), which will help me plan the convoy list soon.

• Please share your vehicle details - Make, Model, Color, and Year.
• Do you have any prior off-road experience? If yes, pls share details.
• Confirm your vehicle has front and rear tow hooks/eyelets.
• Confirm that you have watched this: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING

@Gaurav , @Vanessa8580 Thank you for organising this women's newbie drive. I'm Nivedita. I drive a White, Land Cruiser Prado (2014). My car has the front and rear tow hooks. I have zero off-roading experience. I have watched the video briefing and excited for the drive on Saturday. I'm bringing along my daughter, Prakriti, for the drive.

Hiiiiii @Gaurav @Vanessa8580
 

Looking forward to Saturday! Sorry for the delay. I’m driving a sage green 2021 jeep wrangler JL, which has all the requirements.

I’ve done one absolute newbie drive with Vanessa I think probably 2 years ago now and that’s the only drive experience which I’ve forgotten. Am an expert side kick/passenger on Carnity drives with @Amr A though  ☺️.

Can’t wait. 
 

thanks Sophie
