Nice one Matt, well deserved, see you soon

Noted. Thanks

Thanks Ranjan All that shared learning following each other for the last few months!! I've benefitted from the very high standards of leadership demonstrated on the numerous drives by the Carnity Marshalls and leads of which I continue to be grateful for and will never stop learning.

Well earned @Matt.T 👏

Noted. That's great news! You can still come. Even though it's a different car.

Congrats @Matt.T

congratulations @Matt.T. I'm always in awe when watching you taming your manual beast on the dunes. Happy bashing and hope to see you soon.

Congrats @Matt.T!

Congrats @Naim Aoun!

As @Asif Hussain is leading, well i guess it is not gonna be a newbie drive 😀.

Confirm thank you Richard

We can’t wait to smash sweihan dunes with you Asif Bhai ….. sweihan missed your drives ……

There is a nice Camping / Glamping in the area called the dunes. The area around seem to offer some nice off-roading, but as we always say it takes two so I wa snot able to explore. Hope you enjoy the video

I am not quite sure if it is for everyone. We really enjoyed as they have small Quad included in the price My daughter is 16 so she enjoyed the Quad and then we also rent a 1000 cc buggy which they let her drive sho she had ton of fun which made me very happy. There are plenty of land cruiser Safari who go around what seem pretty pre defined trails, but I am sure one could also explore the surroundings. The dome like tent you see briefly in the video have AC and are quite comfortable. It is very quiet, but alas they do not really switch off the light at night so the starry sky is not great, In summary we really enjoyed a first family desert experience because we do not have camping gear to go and really camp, but there are probably better places. Hope this helps https://thedunesuae.com
