Iftar/ Easy Drive - Lisaili - Dubai - 14 Mar 2025

[JeromeFJ]

Iftar / Easy Drive

This Friday marks the middle of the month of Ramadan, and we will have the sun set at 6:27 pm and the full moon rising shortly after at 6:39 pm.

 

We propose to get to get together by the end of the afternoon in the Lisaili area, go into the desert with a short easy drive (30 min max), mainly on tracks to find a nice spot, watch sunset, take our time for Iftar (approx 1h 30m) and watch the full moon rise, and then continue with an easy drive (approx 30m) with the light of the full moon to exit in the small village of Murquab

 

The drive is open to Newbies with minimum 1 drive and all the above levels. Families are welcomed, children also, as long as they have proper seat and seat belts for their age.

@Mike M. @Alex M @JC_E @Suneedh Wrangler @Andrew John Melvill thank you for signing up for the Iftar drive tomorrow.  The intent is to spend a nice time in the desert, drive quietly mostly on tracks, watch the sun set, the moon, and eat outside. Don't expect crazy dune bashing.

I have updated the meeting point. We can meet around 5 pm, in order to start driving around 5:20 pm. See you tomorrow !

That's a remnant of the old RSVP system. If we post an event without an RSVP limit, this option will appear.
