Friday Night Newbie Desert Drive - Pink Rock - Sharjah - 08 Aug 2025

[M.Seidam]

Dear Friends 

Hello and welcome to Carnity offroad club . 

One of my favourite and a popular route is the way from tawi nezwa to big red via pink rock and where in the dark can be a challenge to all your senses to be alert and focus.

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 “
