EVENT DESCRIPTION - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY WHEN SIGNING UP

On Sunday, October 26, 2025, over 100 vehicles from clubs across the UAE will form an iconic pink ribbon in Sweihan Desert, captured by aerial drone and shared across the nation. This is our community's opportunity to show that we stand together for causes that save lives.

Paint the Desert Pink is a non-profit community initiative created by volunteers from across the UAE off-road community. They are officially recognized by The Pink Caravan, a charity under the patronage of H.H. Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi that has provided over 80,000 free breast cancer screenings across the UAE.

As Carnity, we are proud to participate in this event and will be organizing an off-road drive in the Sweihan area with several convoys!

Below you can find the event schedule:

TIME SCHEDULE

• 05:15AM - Arrival at Sweihan Base Camp. Vehicle preparation and decoration in pink.
• 06:00 AM - Formation - Club convoys line up. All vehicles forming a "PINK RIBBON" for aerial drone capture.
• 07:15 AM - Desert Drive - Several Carnity convoys with different drive levels. 
• 09:45 AM - Return to Base Camp Sweihan and head to Dubai.
• 12:00 PM - Arrive at Dubai venue, where food and drinks will be provided, awards ceremony, raffle draw, and networking until 2:30 PM. (Optional but recommended).

COST TO JOIN

This event is 100% non-profit, but to ensure the organization can cover their cost of lunch/drinks, t-shirts, ribbons, and venue, they asked each member to contribute 100AED. This should be handed over in cash to the Carnity lead of your convoy the same morning, and if there is a remaining positive balance for the organization, this will entirely go to the Pink Caravan charity donation account.

This is not mandatory but of course deeply appreciated. They have provided a link for donation. This can be done online by clicking on below link:

Good morning all!

So glad to see the RSVP's rolling in. This will probably be the first time that Carnity joins in to an event like this, so we want to be in our best form and show what we are made of 

Please confirm that you have RSVP'd on the official website as well:

Registration Form | Car-Space

And also acknowledge that you will bring the 100AED in cash with you, which the trip lead will keep and hand over to the organization. There will be some breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks during the event (breakfast at arrival), and a 10k raffle with very decent prizes. This 100AED goes entirely to their setup to make sure they can break even on the event.
