For those interested in the national make-up of the clubs mentioned, I think the Alexa graphs have a lot of info. If you'll notice, some of the clubs have a real decrease in visitors in the second half of December - notably AD4x4 and UAEOffroaders. I think it is very safe to say that these are two clubs with a fair number of expats - people that went home in the second half of December. But that info is not really useful. For example, AD4x4 has a large expat membership, and an official "English language spoken" policy, and all trip briefings, web site content, radio messages, etc. are all supposed to be in English. And by and large that is true - but there are exceptions. A lot of the night drives have very heavy UAE national participation, and Arabic is spoken much more commonly - sometimes a lot more than English. I don't know how some of the other clubs are, but my guess is that the nationality of a gathering is flexible and there will always be variances depending upon the day and the trip. The smaller clubs are obviously more consistent...for example TheOryx is very much an English language club...unless you happen to take a bunch of (Danish?) friends along on a drive and then find that your campfire discussion has lapsed into Danish. These things happen. You just have to be flexible and open to getting some great cross-cultural experiences. Having said that, it is worthless to join a club that is exclusively Arabic speaking (including any radio messages and their website) unless you speak some Arabic. But that should be apparent early on...
