Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Intro to Al Badayer 🏜️: Al Badayer - Sharjah - 27 Sep 2025

[Ishak]

DRIVE DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Carnity off-road club - Fewbie drive!

Join us for an exciting off-road adventure as we gather at Badayer, Sharjah.

Drive Plan:

Badayer is usually known as the playground for Fewbie+ and Intermediate drivers, with its big dunes and tricky bowls. But this time, we’ll explore this famous area at a Fewbie-friendly pace. The idea is to introduce you to the beauty of Badayer while keeping the challenges manageable and fun.

We’ll start the drive with smooth lines and gentle ridges, giving everyone time to warm up and get comfortable with the terrain. As we progress, we’ll gradually dip into slightly higher dunes and playful crossings, just enough to taste what makes Badayer so special, without going overboard.

This drive is a perfect opportunity for Fewbie drivers who want to build confidence, sharpen their skills, and prepare for the step-up to more advanced drives in this region. By the end of the session, you’ll understand why Badayer is such a legendary spot in the UAE off-road scene.

Please ensure your off-road gear matches your rank, and bring along plenty of enthusiasm and a strong desire to learn and grow your skills.

To make this experience safe and enjoyable for everyone, we kindly ask all participants to carefully review the guidelines, etiquettes, and responsibilities outlined below and to follow them diligently throughout the drive.

Hi @Jean Jarjoura,

Welcome back after almost 4 years 😉, It is nice to see you joining again. I believe you may have continued driving in the desert during this time. If there are any withdrawals, the waitlist will automatically move up to the going list. However, since this is a Fewbie level drive, and your profile currently shows Newbie, you may add yourself to the waitlist for the Newbie drive with @Frederic below.

Hope to meet you on a drive soon! 

Hi @Mike M., I have moved you to the Manage list.

Do you have a trail in mind? can you let me know the location of the anticipated exit point? just for my planning purposes after the drive. Thanks.

Morning @Ishak finally walked through my door after a a mammoth shift at work. Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong hence I’m just getting home now. I’m really sorry but I’ll have to pull out of this drive as I’m absolutely exhausted. All the best.
