Thursday weekday Night Fewbie Desert Drive - Lisaili - Dubai - 11 Dec 2025

[M.Seidam]

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. “

Drive Report 

It was indeed a champion recovery like drive with a two tire 🛞 pop out came as a bonus 😅

by 5:30 pm all who attended the drive were just ready and some demo on the sand for our first Fb @SHIHAN BEARY ,who just did well ,we vanished into the deep dark desert 

our first encounter had to be mine and my second lead @JC_E 

First we had to recover JC which was done brilliantly by @Faraz94 pulling him back words in three attempts with increasing intensity to feel the proper amount needed for the tug . 
after I managed from this pose to navigate and squeeze the Xterra out without being hanged on the 4 wheels 

After this we managed to play around for a while around the long range dunes of Lisaili before we took our quick chat and coffee ☕️ break under the last fade of the twilight 

Going further along the track heading to the secret garden we encountered the second almost same position with my Xterra nose down but this time there was no way out. Calling all the shovelers available and we digged a deep ditch one meters infront of the bumper were all the soft sand just displaced and the pumper cleared which made me to getaway with it .

unfortunately out from this position I got trapped in another soft patch obliquely where @Faraz94 managed to redirect my position by a very gentle tug . 
@Shahid Mehmood managed to get a nice pop out which was fixed in no time followed by @SHIHAN BEARY partial pop out lead to sudden flat tire which re inflating with no bubbles around confirmed the partial pop-out. 
 

after this we straight headed to the exit with big smiles and strong muscles . And every one took a home msg with him learning something new . 
I liked the drive despite all these hiccups buts it’s part of the game 

my Abdallah met new kids and had time to say hello to every one . 
 

@Mahmut thank you for helping and directing others when time needed .

@JC_E fantastic second lead as always 

@Faraz94 I believe tow rope recoveries with different techniques made you the recovery champion yesterday night 👍very well done . 
 

@SHIHAN BEARY despite its your first Fb and in the dark you did very well my friend 

@Shahid Mehmood @khurramm brilliant drive . I hope your sons enjoyed the drive . 
 

wish you pleasant weekend and see you soon in the desert again 

cheers
