With the summer in full bloom, one of the best times to enjoy the UAE wilderness is at night. Driving at night brings a different set of challenges. While the pace would be lower compared to the day, the reduced visibility increases the level of the game.  This time we would be heading to Little Liwa or Sweihan where we will be presented with some of the finest terrain that UAE has to offer. 

Its not mandatory to have offroad lights for this drive.

Hi @vinayaknam, off road lights are not mandatory, your normal headlights will be just fine in high beam as you will have cars in front and behind you.

Hi, any news regarding this drive? Is it confirmed?

[Srikumar]

Hi @Giacomo @Victor Socaciu @Fares Adel @nithish468 looks like we are going to have a short convoy which means we can do a bit more exploration in the night wilderness. Brace yourself for a lot of fun and excitement.  We shall be using Carnity Channel 3 (446.056) for this drive.
