Night Newbie Desert Drive - Qudra Nights II - Dubai - 04 Jul 2025

[M.Seidam]

 

Hello and welcome to Carnity offroad club . 
 

few points worth mentioning here regarding desert driving in the night , more to be emphasized and reminded during the brief at the meeting point . 
 

1. No need for offroad lights except for car number 1 . If you have them that’s ok to use them unless the front car asks kindly to let it off. All what you need is just to follow strictly the front car . The high beam stock lights/fog lights are adequate in convoy trips 

2. Always see where you step ( hand torch or headlight ) during inflation , deflation and during the breaks.

3. Try to avoid the bushes when out from car . 
4. it’s highly recommended to have your legs and feet covered as creepers like exposed feet and legs 😅

5. always carry your radio where ever you go. 

6. the speed and distance between cars falls into half of that during daylight drive ( will talk more in the brief ) 

7. Desert driving rules holds valid and more emphasized here as we are bound with limited visibility.

last but not least night drives are different world to explore and experience. It’s nice , cool and it’s another level of enjoyment .

Once you master it I assure you that you will be able “ to see without seeing and to you the darkness will become as clear as the daylight “

Apologies if this has been detailed, will the drive finish at the meeting point? If so, is it safe to leave a vehicle there for the duration of the drive?

Drive will end either in the same meeting point or in another nearby 10 min by car back to the meeting point . 
I would say yes the area of meeting point is flat and many cars comes and goes . The alternative is to park it in last exit parking which is also 10 min away from meeting point .

Highlights of Qudra II Newbie Night Drive :

Thank you all for being even a head of time which shows how punctual and passionate you are . Respect 🙏

 

Seeing full house families , meeting new faces and chit chatting during the breaks with humor and big smiles is all what are these drives are about after all 🙏

all convoy despite some tricky spots did more than great and this reflects how when we stick to the rules of desert complications are the least to happen. In fact in this particular drive apart from couple refusals there were no stucks no ropes out neither shovels were needed. 
 

Faraz in the second lead , Andrew in the middle and Mahesh tailing the convoy were truly the back bone of the convoy helping when ever needed. Big thank you guys 🙏

I wish all of you pleasant weekend and see you in another night drive next week Inshallah ( full moon Night 🌕 ) 

Cheers
