Drive Brief This Intermediate Drive is meant to be a high speed adventure across a long stretch of red sand desert in the Emirate of Sharjah, covering over 70km from Mahafiz to Shuwaib, going through some of the most coveted off-roading areas in the emirate, all packed in a single "Express Drive" experience. We will start in Mahafiz, approaching, for starters, the Long Dune and then climbing to the top of Fossil Rock, descending on its east side. We will then head south, passing by Fossil Rock, Camel Rock and The Sphynx at high speed in order to reach Faya's reknown big dunes. We will subsequently border S153 Mahafiz - Faya Road to cross it at Mahafiz Roundabout and enter the Suwaidan stretch of desert that will eventually lead us to the tall dunes on the north side of 2nd November Cafeteria, which will hopefully be a pleasant surprise to most. Once crossed the road, we will dive again in the tall dunes on its west side, then head straight to Pink Rock, from where we will keep on heading south, making our way towards the Al Badayer area, climbing first "The big dune next to Big Red" and eventually the Big Red itself, before exiting at Al Badayer Interchange on Dubai-Hatta Road This drive will offer all types of red sand challenges a driver could ask for, an all in one express shot.

Wait list second drive please

I was driving my car in automatic mode hardly on my first 2 drives and on another drive on a newbie drive for testing purpose, I drive only on manual mode even after installing 2 auxiliary fans. I never had upshifting problem in my car. But when I reach 5000+ rpm, engine will cut off the power completely even on manual mode, this was not allowing me to climb steep climbs. I complained to habtoor and after service they removed the delimiter i guess and now its holding even on 6000 rpm. Yesterday I never had problem in climbing steep dunes, it was a perfect drive for me, except for couple of times where i couldn’t start with enough momentum on narrow track with soft patch. Have to try couple of more times before any conclusion!!!

Again, one of the @Lorenzo Candelpergher drives, add to it area 53, so imagine the result 😅. With all challenges, I am sure all has enjoyed, and left remembering the drive the hole day, and may be even had good dreams during sleep 🤪. We had three main issues, which in my opinion: 1- refusals and stucks : these are normal, I am sure many of us were frustrated, some declared it, some kept it secret, and some mentioned in person. At the end, this is the desert and off-road drive, were we should enjoy each part of it 2- Over taking : this was happening @Lorenzo Candelperghermay be more than normal, since of repeating refusals, sometimes, making more since to overtake, otherwise will have much more refusals and stucks. But immediately, after over taking, all should wait at suitable locations, to reorder the convoy 3- Splitting the convoy : this happened due to the fact that when someone was not able to cross the dune, and continue on the same side, all was following him. In this case, and depending on the situation, I thinks others should try to hold till this driver attempt again and cross to the other side, or cross and wait, which is similar case to point one. The other reason for splitting, which I noticed @Lorenzo Candelpergher, when sometimes you mention to hold for some reason, and then you start moving, one of the drivers did not move (and rest of the convoy is behind him), waiting for your instructions to move again. By the time he realize he need to move, he find he lost the track and move in different direction. I this situation, I believe when you ask to hold, and start moving, and SL start moving with few behind, all should move, since moving without mentioning to move again, should be considered as "move again". At the end of the day, was really fun, and happy to see all enjoyed, specially @Watteauwith so much laugh. Thank you @Mario Cornejofor being SL, and very happy to meet you again @M.Seidamafter long time.

It was indeed yet another demanding but excellent experience in A53 and surroundings, thank you @Lorenzo Candelpergher for hosting a follow up of this challenging drive. Also a big thank you to @M.Seidam and @Hisham Masaad. Based on my car performance data, I can confirm that today I pushed my car to its limits whilst trying to maneuver to the best of my ability, the average coolant temp oscillated in a range between 99C to 105C, with a some occasions where the temperature shot up to 115C ~ 116C, mostly on long climbs or when I had to start climbing without much momentum right after sorting out an obstacle (e.g. soft sand + steep climb in 1st or 2nd gear). The terrain did not disappoint, soft sand patches, steep slopes, and quite a few steep drops, one in particular when I thought I was taking a better approach to crossing a ridge and fell right into a deep bowl, luckily I had not lost much momentum and was able to sort the obstacle. I would like to conclude with the following: it is hard not to empathize with those who are impacted by the delays of anyone's refusal, cresting, pop-outs, etc., having to just sit idle whilst eager to enjoy the drive as much as possible. At the same time I acknowledge that all drives have a variety of skill sets, vehicle capabilities (engine, mechanical). I suppose it is just not possible to anticipate all possible issues or ensure that entire convoy moves at a constant pace and speed throughout +4 hrs driving, therefore a big thank you for the patience during these situations. In summary, what a great drive, with many opportunities to learn, and help each other. Have a great week ahead.

Trip Report Everyone loves a challenge and this goes for trip leads as well. Area 53 is a challenging terrain for the best offroader and to take Fewbies there was a challenge I most definitely was looking forward the whole week. Everyone met on time, and as we are at the end of July the sun does rise closer to 5:40 AM. So after a little bit of waiting and briefing we headed out to explore Area 53. We entered through some of the smaller dunes to reach the base of the pyramids and everyone managed quite well. As we attempted the first staircase climb we did have a couple of refusals which was expected. A bit of rerouting and circling and the entire convoy started moving again. Being a Fewbie convoy, I tried going up to about 70% height on the pyramid dunes, as the higher you go, the exit at the top of the dunes can get even more challenging. Since we couldn't exit from the top of the pyramid dunes we had to descend and started going around it and had to go through some more closely spaced dunes. A popout and a couple of refusals, but nothing major and everyone managed to get through that area quite well. As it was getting warmer we decided to take a more flatter route towards Super Bowl and IFB. I would have loved for the Fewbie convoy to have a go at Super Bowl, but unfortunately there were a couple of other convoys in that area driving at high speeds and hence we decided to move towards Iftar Bowl. Once we reached IFB the climb was so enticing that no one could stop with a single one. Everyone made more than a couple of attempts and it was great to see everyone roar all the way to the top. Big congratulatation to the entire group of Fewbies @Zixuan Huang - Charlie @Aisha S @Anoop Nair @Sunil Mathew @Charbel @Abdul Rafay-S @Tareck @Rjducos @Adhir Saxena for being brave enough to drive through Area 53. That is seriously a big achievement. And as you grow in confidence and driving skills, you will learn to love this area even more. Finally a huge shot out to @Hisham Masaad@Nivin for watching over the entire convoy and continuously assisting shen needed. Your wonderful support permitted me to be a bit more adventurous at times and make the drive challenging for the entire convoy. See you all soon on the sand.

Please waitlist me for the first drive @Lorenzo CandelpergherThanks.

hi @Lorenzo Candelpergher can you add me to the manage tab please

Waitlist please….2nd drive

Dear Desertnauts. Just a few more info about this weekday drive. While we are always looking for new routes, sometimes the easiest, and yet interesting solution, is to join dots from previous drives, to draw a new itinerary. This time we'll take a track from Lisaili's "Backdoor" drive, leading to Murqab, and we'll join it with the track leading from there to Faqa's sabkha. The result is an itinerary roughly parallel to E66, except not as straight as the highway, which we may call Desert 66, a "sandway" from Lisaili to Faqa. Some of you may have driven one or the other segment, even though both have been done only one time (so they are almost brand new), but none has done both together. The terrain will be a mix of mostly technical dunes, and a few long range cordons. Especially the second half of the drive, from Murqab, will be quite challenging: with very unpredictable cordons, surrounded by extremely tight technical dunes, this section has been tested only once with an Intermediate drive, and will require that all drivers give it their best, and rise to the occasion. We'll expect to drive for around 3:30 hours, hence the plan is to start a little earlier (3:30 PM) and reach the exit just in time for a sunset shot. Convoy order to follow tomorrow afternoon. @Russ, @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil, @Ashok chaturvedi, @Zixuan Huang - Charlie, @Ranjan Das, @Gaurav Soni, @Chinthaka Ruwan and @Craig Finlayson, have a nice evening, and see you on Tuesday.

UPDATE After having verified Shawka Dam, where recently they have installed LED lighting on the parking, we have decided to move the meeting point to Buraq Dam: Meetup Location: Buraq Dam Parking https://goo.gl/maps/KJDj5dukheWD5ArT7 For the people who are attending the Fossil Rock Newbie level drive that same evening, we will be driving together to the meeting point as soon as we are inflated. For the members who are joining us independently, please take note to avoid this route below: Google Maps is not showing the correct information during the drive and might make you confused and lose the exit. The best route is to take the E102 if you are coming from Dubai or Sharjah, and first to enter "Al Thameed Health Centre" as your final location. Once you reach there, change it to the "Buraq Dam" and it will lead you through Fili town. This is an easy and short route. @Gaurav @Zed @munkybizness @Ashok chaturvedi @Savio Fernandes @Paul Zeitoun @samamara @Niki @JeromeFJ @AbdullaB

Very valid point expressed. These uncertainties, challenges, failure, accomplishment make off-roading exciting than 4 hour long drive with cruise control on the highway.

Finally met in person with @Gaurav after driving for more than 7 months with @Carnity, it was a pleasure driving under your lead... Thank you. Newbie drives are always fun as we get to see people with full enthusiasm, reminding us of how we started and took this sport with so much passion and are still enjoying it. Pleasant surprise to have @Fredericon this drive, you saved our night by lending your vehicle and joining Gaurav... much appreciated! Great show put on by @Looper as 2nd lead, @Rizwanm2 and @M.Seidamas CF (both were super supportive) and @Jeepieas our sweep (ensuring everyone stayed together), Thank you. Everyone in the convoy did amazingly well @AbdullaB (great show as it was your 2nd drive that too 1st in the night) @Nafiz@munkybizness@Daniel Yang@Peter Hager@Fabien Monleau(loved your LC, which model is it?), finally @Ben84and @topgear (you guys were flawless). Really enjoyed the company of you all, see you again soon in the sand InshaAllah!

Thank you @Srikumar for taking up a fewbie drive in area 53, the experience is entirely different than any other fewbie drives, and never expect to be the SL for my first drive in area 53. The sand in the area is softer, and I have to use 2 of my prevous HT tires due some serious damage to the AT ones, I felt the reduced traction after first few small climbs and the refusal, I further aired down to 11 PSI. After hitting a tiny pocket's rim, I of course had my first ever pop-out to one of the 11PSI HT tire. With the help of the team (many thanks to all of you!!), the pop-out got fixed quickly. It was really surprising to see so many cars in the same area of a desert at the same time, perhaps there were nearly 100 cars in the area? I got to see a wild blackout Armada leading a covey, a crazy loud FJ covoy, several of the American Toyota specie 4Runner bouncing in Middle East desert, and Wranglers that look like pros but have zero knowledge on momentum and gravity. I think it is definitely not easy to drive behind me this time, refusals and all that. If I were myself driving behind, I would be cursing the me in front already. @Aisha S has surely done well, and did not get disturbed much. This drive has indeed challenged my cofidence and made me doubt my ability, but the learning is tremendous. Hopefully my next visit to area 53, I will bring more solid cofidence and ability to tackle this area. It was good to have you all in this drive and special thanks to the support team member @Nivin and rescue mission team leader @Hisham Masaad See you next time! Few pics uploaded. @Charbel can you whatsapp me for the video of you climbing the iftar bowl? 0528402096

I have found couple of reasons for my frequent pop-out 1. My tyre pressure, my guage was faulty one, it showed higher readings by 2-4 psi, so in reality i was deflating too low. 2. Approach angle, even though try to follow the car in front, i realized to take the right angle for my car, its weight and my tyres. and in todays drive I made corrections to these and got positive results. Small adjustments huge difference in performance!!!

DRIVE REPORT Dear Desert Wanderers, My last drive as lead had been exactly 30 days ago, so I came to this drive with some concern whether I was actually going to be up to the task, given that the 1st edition of the 1km ascent quest had created a lot of expectations. I must say I really enjoyed the drive today and it was great to be back again on the sand. It was a memorable drive, with endless challenges that put everyone to the test. We started very early this morning: by 5am sharp we lined up the convoy. I feel it was maybe a bit too early, as we had to drive for 45 mins before the sunrise. We indulged a bit in the small dunes between our entry point and the 1st group of dunes of Area 53 next to the Dubai - Hatta Road, but we couldn't possibly spend 45 mins there, so I decided to aim to the top climbing in total darkness. Not exactly the easiest way to start the day, but certainly an effective way to make sure everyone was fully awake! 😂😂 We started having refusals right away at the very first climb, I guess mostly because of the additional challenge with the darkness and because of the abrupt ramp-up of the technical level that today's ascents implied. Even if with some hesitations, the convoy made it to the top 3 times in a raw on the first group of dunes: it was the perfect warm-up for the day. We progressively moved across 11 different areas of big dunes, everytime climbing from all sides and making sure we left our tire marks on every available bowl. The first 2 hours were not easy, as we had to deal with several refusals, mostly with the two Pajeros, whose underpowered engines with undesidered upshifting demanded their drivers, @Danish Mohammad and @Lakshmi Narasimhan, every drop of their driving skills to make it to the top.. Kudos to both for the extra effort! I could sense some frustration by the big and experienced guys at the back, whose desire to unleash their endless horse power was often dampened by some stucks and refusals at the front and even more by my occasional decisions to abort and reroute (or restart from the bottom) when things were getting too troubled at the front of the convoy. @Watteau was very vocal when he asked not to give up and to make sure the cars at the back could have their fair chance to make it to the top. I know my choices may have disappointed, @Watteau or @Abu Muhammad, but the point for me was that ALL drivers (and cars) today had to make it to the top and I believe that is what happened 80% of the over 40 straight bottom-to-top climbs we performed today. In that 20%, we gave up or rerouted to continue having fun without wasting too much time being overly ambitious. The sand was tricky today, with lots of unusual pockets and patches of very soft sand caused by the unusual winds of the last weeks, combined, in the 1st part of the drive, with an immense number of tracks everywhere. This is where most of us had our good share of refusals and stucks, which required a great deal of brilliant self-recoveries, including the spectacular ones by @Danish Mohammad and @Mario Cornejo in deep bowls and with great inclines. I wasn't equally good and needed help shoveling to get out of a crest. Just to make sure we didn't miss anything, we also had repeated overheating issues and two pop-out for my myself and @Dodi Syahdar! What a day! The drivers in the front didn't have the horsepower nor the experience of the big guys in the back, and I must say I was proud to see the enormous improvement in self-confidence and actual car handling that @Danish Mohammad achieved trough-out the drive as he shifted to 2nd lead. It is only by being challenged a bit beyond our comfort zone and by our mistakes and struggles that we become better. Well done, my friend! I must say I was also a bit disappointed to see how convoy discipline today was often neglected.. Impatience to climb and not to lose momentum often led to a split convoy or to overtakes and confusion, to the extent that we had to slow down and reorder the convoy multiple times. I still believe, as frustrating as this may be, that if a car in front struggles, those behind should avoid overtaking and should patiently allow as many attempts as may be required for whoever has difficulties in a specific passage.. In the last two hours of the drive we drove more, stopped less and enjoyed fantastic, virgin dunes that repaid us of all the waiting, digging, rerouting and struggling of the first two. The climax of the day for me was the stretch at and after Suhail Dune, where we had a quick photo stop: With some concerns about overheating and running out of fuel for some cars, we then headed towards Iftar Bowl, where we took 3 full rounds back to back before eventually making our exit. We drove for 4h and 35 mins, covering 68.6km at an average moving speed of 16.7km. As far as the goal of the day is concerned, I'm glad to say that - despite all setbacks - we hit the 1670m ascent mark, which is 100m than last month. See the analysis below: Congratulations to @Mario Cornejo (you'll conquer that high bowl) @Danish Mohammad (full throttle!!) , @Ranjan Das(great new Rubicon!), @Lakshmi Narasimhan(Iftar Bowl is now yours), @Ilya(a walk in the park for an Expert like you), @Watteau(we did get to the top, eventually), @Dodi Syahdar("when I enjoy the drive I get a pop-out", you said 😂😂😂😂😂), @Abu Muhammad(we were all inexperienced IM drivers at some point!) and big big thanks to @M.Seidam and @Hisham Masaad for their outstanding support at all times. See you at the next stuck!

Waitlisted for 1st drive: @Abu Muhammad Waitlisted for 2nd drive (in order of priority): @GauravSoni, @Watteau

@Srikumar have been working very hard on those pre-qualification guideline with lot of feedback and inputs from seniors to make it relevant, fair, challenging and yet safe for everyone. It's almost ready and he should be rolling out soon.

Hi @varunmehndiratta Similar to Lorenco's feedback - driving 98% in D and switching to M when needed. Never seen/hread about upshifting in JLU

Feel free to re-live the day through this 'short' video, unprofessionally put together 😂😂 https://youtu.be/ymQgoSQjgE8

Just to reflect the atmosphere on the drive Plus, I can now teach how to "stop" in a nice position

Well done👏, congratulations to the top 10 hot shot photographers, keep it up...

Thanks to @Srikumar for this excellent drive. I Really enjoyed the challenging terrain, pyramid dunes and attacking the Iftar bowl towards the end of the drive was a lot of fun. Thanks to @Zixuan Huang - Charlie for a great job at SL, @Nivin for the support at CF and as always the reassurance everyone has when @Hisham Masaad is in the sweep role. Enjoyed being out in the sand with everyone, thought the convoy kept up the momentum through the challenging terrain really well and was great to see everyone successfully tackling the Iftar bowl at the end.

Congratulations @Zixuan Huang - Charlie

The inherent reason why we all drive in the desert is to enjoy ourselves some time off from our sometimes mundane and sometime Exciting work Life… everybody has their own reason. Out there among the dunes, it’s not a competition of who can climb higher or faster or fly off the dunes. It’s a way for us to relax and enjoy the sport in a safe manner. just like no finger on our hand is same, no car or driver is expected to be same however we keep Developing our skills to drive at same level with our fellow drivers. Even the best drivers and cars have bad days… we get in and get out as a team! these drives with @Carnity are our way to unwind and not a rally. Healthy banter is always welcomed!!! And it’s our own choice which drives to join! Regarding Pajero’s capability, I believe it’s as good as the driver can be!

I see couple of leads driving pajero 3.8 and 3.5 LWB and few having SWB, leaving the limitations for extreme level we should be able to do intermediate drives with Pajero. Few cases where theres upshifting problem, we need to carry along to the max level possible and then its up to individuals to upgrade the car based on their interest, budget etc or enjoy the max level they can!!!

Thanks again @Gaurav for being an absolute beast of a captain, it was an amazing drive! It was a different experience than my first absolute newbie drive. The thrill was much more present in the drive and especially going up the Pink Rock! Thanks to everyone who was keeping us safe and to @Rizwanm2 for the constant support. Here is a picture I snapped during the end!

We all have difficult days, and IMHO you did pretty well. Yes, there were a couple of refusals and a popout, but unless you goto Area53 and have a double popout I wouldn't bother. P.S. The first time I went to Area 53, I had a double popout twice, and so did another member in our convoy 😄

@Mario Cornejo what a wonderful opportunity I missed for taking some wonderful pictures during those delays as I couldn't join

WOT downshifting is surely an issue I observed didn't know it was Jeep thing, thought I was doing it something wrong missing the right RPM level etc... Tried multiple things - bit of blip blip acceleration (same as feather the throttle you mentioned) ended up losing momentum pretty fast - good that I checked was blaming my technique and trying some diff combos everytime 🙂 .. tuning is off the chart for me as well due to warranty issue . Offlate been sticking to pre judging all the way in 2 or 1st gear - surely misjudge at times but takes it through the most cases, seems that's the way to go....thanks @Lorenzo Candelpergher for sharing your thoughts..

Thanks @Lorenzo CandelpergherbYup that's what I thought read on a forum with someone complaining about upshifting in M mode...sounded strange to me too, it was also about a Pajero so thought perhaps some issue with it's system ..👍 98% is pretty awesome, I have somehow developed tendency to move to M on every steep dune ...surely makes it a bit easier. Somehow it always upshifts in D while reaching around 4500-5000 rpm.

Hi @varunmehndiratta, today I drove 98% of the time in D, using M only to sustain 2nd or 1st gear while climbing on some long and steep, straight climbs, thus avoiding undesired automatic upshifting. There is absolutely no upshifting when in M: if in 1st gear, your engine would keep screaming at max revs limit. Where practice is never enough for me, however, isn't the upshifting but rather the WOT (wide open throttle) downshifting to 1st gear while climbing in 2nd gear and losing momentum. JLUs are programmed not to allow WOT downshifting, so the only way to achieve it is to feather the throttle, shift down and give full gas again. But when you climb up on a bumpy stretch jumping all over the place it ain't so easy to "feather" the throttle as you'd wish.. The alternative would be tuning (ie enably WOT downshifting), which however would void the warranty (not an option for me) and possibly shorten the life of the gearbox/engine..

Thanks Brette!

Thanks @Gaurav for a wonderful drive. It was quite fun drive. The drive was one of those types that I like most. I never before enjoyed a night drive as much as of last night. It seemed like @M.Seidam @Jeepie and especially @Rizwanm2had few refusals to take care of. I like refusals in night drives, (sorry to say that) for it gives me time to enjoy the tranquility of the desert in the night. Being behind the lead I can only comment on my drive. It was my first drive with my new lift and 2nd one with the new tires and I am still new to the changed driving stance. Crossing dunes seemed a lot more easier yesterday, without the usual scooping of sand. I was however a bit worried if I might have a pop out as it happened a couple of times in my last drive and I was driving in a slightly sedated manner. My first refusal occurred due to the lighter gas than it was required and the recovery issues seemed to be due to 4 wheel drive not engaging properly, since you mentioned that my front wheels were not moving. In my last drive I had a “Service 4WD” message pop up and it came at the fag end while exiting and wasn’t sure what it was doing. Apart from that one time I did not seem to have any issues for rest of the drive. And the second refusals was because I have to live up to my new profile name, and take some loops to come back on track. I just slipped out to the other side of the ridge as I suffered a momentary lack of concentration, since I was looking at my son; who was asleep by then - if he was comfortable or not. PS: It is important to be able to keep adequate distance while observing what the lead/driver in front is doing, one of the skills everyone must practice. This will help to assess how to proceed with tackling the terrain, while giving enough time and space to not getting oneself stuck back to back in a difficult situation.

@Gaurav Thanks for leading the drive and ensuring everyone is safe. I also appreciate your advice at the end of the drive. @Jeepie Thanks for your support and advice at the back of convoy It was my first night drive and it was indeed a very interesting experience. I enjoyed it tremendously and I certainly slept well when I got home after the drive.

Congrats @darren thompson, well done!!

Congratulations @JamesThorn!!!

@James Thorn congratulations

@JamesThornCongratulations!

HI @Islam Soliman please add me to the waitlist for 2nd drive

I believe as carnity has considered all factors in revising the grading structure which is paying of well. Carnity also makes sure one do complete all the required skills learning for that level before advancing to higher level I take more drives to complete one level based on how fast I learn and apply that. Every level has its own challenge for the new drivers joining that level. We cant have specific requirements for each and every terrain, as that is not possible with desert changing shape every now and then. Yes of course for extreme drives theres qualification based on car capability, drive skills and experience which are valid.

@Aisha S congratulations , well done

Thanks Nivin

@James ThornCongratulations! Attached a photo for 2 big v8 shoot by @TT_Dubai

Thanks for everyone's congratulations. Looking forward to continuing to learn and face new challenges and driving something unusual in the dunes

Congrats @Aisha S. Looks like you will be Christening your promotion at Area53. Now, that's going to be fun.

Congrats @JamesThorn!

The Raptor has been promoted to FEWBIE PLUS hehe! Well done mate ! @darren thompson

Thank you Gaurav and all the leaders who have taught me on the way! Thanks Sunil, I will see you soon😁
