Friday Night Newbie Desert Drive - Murqab to Qudra - Dubai - 17 Oct 2025

[M.Seidam]

DRIVE DESCRIPTION

Hello and welcome to Carnity Night Drives.

Few points worth mentioning here regarding desert driving at 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 you need is to follow strictly the front car. The high beam stock lights/fog lights are adequate for 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 of the 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 wherever you go. 

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

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

Last but not least, night drives are a 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. “

I’m so sorry @M.Seidam but I also need to leave the drive as my truck is currently with Machinehead and it’s taking longer than expected. Hopefully next time! Have a great drive

Good afternoon all, 

Unfortunately, I too will have to drop out of this drive. Intending to pop to the garage to fill up for tonight, I discovered a rather unnerving amount of oil sitting on my driveway which, though not mechanically minded, I'm pretty sure should be in the car. Fingers crossed it's just a tube/ hose.
