Night Fewbie Desert Drive - Qudra " Moonwalker " - Dubai - 23 Mar 2024

[M.Seidam]

Dear Moonwalkers 

Hello and welcome to the night drive episodes which are going to be frequent from now onwards. Regarding this first episode of my favorite night drive series, we are planning to drive under the full moon hence the theme " moonwalker ". please note that Qudra has changed a lot and it's not like the area we knew it two years back, it has transformed 70% into jungle-like areas and the plan is to moonwalk on the remaining 30% pure sand almost which cannot be underestimated as it's the most technical part of Qudra .having said that prepare yourself for a night exercise of shoveling as we cross back and forth the technical terrain spot which is less frequently driven there.

if it's your first night drive don't worry your stock high-beam light is more than sufficient to keep up with the track. 

if you are a fan of technical desert driving then this is your ride. patience and vigilance are all that we need to get out safely.

hang on till the day before the event.

Dear friends 

@waqar @Prithvi Raj @Sandeep Nayar and @Maytham Mahroos 

I hope you all are doing well . I would like to know if it is ok with all of you to start the drive not at 9:30 pm but instead at 11 pm and the ending will be at 2 am 

The reason of this change is out of my control truly . 
 

please let me know if this is convenient or not . Option B is to postpone whole drive to next week Saturday night and will add all the 4 names.

thanks for understanding
