Afternoon Fewbie Desert Drive - The Ultimate Hidden Dunes of Qudra - Dubai - 16 Nov 2025

[DP1011]

DRIVE DESCRIPTION

The Ultimate Hidden Dunes of Qudra!

Planned by our Qudra Grown emerging Lead @Mike M., who will be partially leading this drive with me. Get ready for a one-of-a-kind adventure as we uncover a side of Qudra like never seen before. This premiere drive will take us deep into the heart of its terrain with very long ridges, tall dunes, and a bowl or two await to test skill and thrill the senses.

This is Qudra’s ultimate best-kept secret. If you're looking for open grounds, long ridges and relatively tall dunes wrapped in breathtaking desert beauty, this is the drive for you!

We will either exit from Qudra or Murqab depending on the drive and the convoy dynamics.

I want to confirm the meeting time again - it is 12:30pm, right?

I see 11:00am as well in the RSVP box.

[Gaurav]

It was a time zone issue. Sorted now.

This drive is from 12:30 PM - 3:30 PM - Dubai time.

Hello everyone, Google Maps might send you on a long loop for an extra 10 minutes for no reason. At the final roundabout next to the meeting point pin, just make your way through the roundabout and after completing it, take the first opening to the right. You will find Carnity members deflating at the spot. 
 

 

Posting another zoomed out pic to avoid any confusion because even if we put the pin on the road it will still take you through the unnecessary loop

Hello Sandsters ! 

@Jeandre Bezuidenhout @Ash S. @Abdullah A. @Kashx2 @Senthil Kumar @Dipu Francis @Carl Stanley @Myrko @Alphin Aloor @Rodas

Please find the convoy order for tomorrow's drive. As it will be a premiere drive for a Carnity convoy in tomorrow's location, I am looking forward to sharing this experience with everyone tomorrow. Please make sure to arrive 15 minutes earlier than the meeting time to have enough time to deflate and setup the flags. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Thank you all for a great drive today! Everyone drove great and the support team was fantastic as well!

Thank you @J-P L @Andrew John Melvill and @Senthil Kumar for quickly and efficiently managing the few stucks and refusals we had today. Great Second Lead by @Jeandre Bezuidenhout, you did great! 

Hoping you guys enjoyed the track and the arranged air show we had for you! At least @Rodas is convinced it was part of the drive which sets the bar so high for any upcoming drive

Next time we should also get the cross tracks sorted out as well along with the air show.  

Thank you all for coming out on a Sunday afternoon drive and looking forward to seeing you all on an upcoming drive.

Special thanks to @DP1011 who was trusting in a very humbling way for every aspect of this drive, A-Z. Thank You DP!

Some photos are in the gallery and hopefully Andy will get the chance to upload some as well. @Andrew John Melvill.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday everyone!
