Afternoon Newbie Desert Drive - Sand Masters: Lisaili to Qudra Secret Dunes - Dubai - 25 Jul 2025

[Nagarjun S]

Hi @Ale Vallecchi, I would not be joining the drive tomorrow due to some emergency commitments. Apologies for the last minute notice.

Dear Desertnauts.

Before the short briefing for tomorrow drive, I have just added the meeting and deflation point on the drive's post. We will meet and deflate here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MR8j8TtNwyhKbRLe9

Consider arriving a little before the scheduled time, so we can deflate before getting ready to go. A thorough briefing about off-roading notions (mechanical needs, different terrains, driving skills, warnings, convoy discipline, etc.) will be given before leaving. We'll find some shaded area to conduct it.

Please make sure you bring a fully charged radio to the drive. There may not ba any spare radios available, and without a fully functioning radio no members will be permitted to drive, for safety reasons.

In spite of the vegetation that has grown abundant in this and other areas of the UAE, we'll do our best to find, and drive on, the cleanest possible dunes, so that all the necessary off-roading skills may be safely taught and practiced.

The convoy order at the moment is the following:

@Ana in Second Lead

@Jakob T at #3

@Lvc at #4

@Artur Davtyan at #4

@J-P L at Center

@Oussama at #6

@Kishor at #7

@Asif Ahamed at #8 and

@khurram in Sweep.

Enjoy your Friday evening, and see you tomorrow.

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Leroy, and this is my very first desert drive with Carnity. Super excited to join the community and start my off-roading journey! 😊

I’m a complete newbie, so I’ll be learning from all of you and looking forward to picking up as much knowledge as I can. Can’t wait to meet everyone tomorrow!

Quick question: I don’t have tire deflators or any off-road accessories yet. Any suggestions on where I can buy the basic essentials before tomorrow’s drive?

Welcome @Lvc! Your best option and one stop shop will be Dragon Mart. In the EB section I believe you’ll find all the tools you need.

Hello @Lvc. Good to have you join the club. I can lend you a tire deflator tomorrow. You can purchase whatever you wish among the off-roading gear at your convenience. Nonetheless, deflation tools, and most of all 1) FLAG, 2) 2-WAY RADIO and possibly 3) PORTABLE COMPRESSOR are necessary. The last 2 are surely available at Dragonmart at the mechanical tools' section., 

For tomorrow just make sure you have the flag, which is mandatory. You can find flags mountable with a suction cap to a side or back window of your car.

See you tomorrow.

Leads, apologies if I missed this topic. How many people allowed in a car? Any age restriction for kids? 

[J-P L]

@Jakob T you can bring passengers but everyone must wear a seatbelt
