@Desert Wrangler @BHANU PRAKASH VISHWANATH @Ali Shah @Derius Olivier @Imran Kashif @YM Han @Osama M @Joseph Raju @Anna Dillon @Julian Patterson @Sharat Nambiar @ASAD. @Dodi Syahdar @Melenany If any of you come from Dubai or another Emirate and you have to cross the border to come to Abu Dhabi on Sunday, you will have to show your All Hosn app at the border. You will need a green status, if you haven't, you will have to take a PCR test. They just changed the rules again to begin at the 31st of December. I just wanted to let you know now so you still have time to take the PCR test if necessary.

Hi Frederic. Yes please, i tried to register but as I am already participating in the morning drive on the same day the system didnt allow it.

Depends where you do it. I think in SEHA they give the results within 12 - 24 hours, Other places like Festival City Health Hub, can give the results in 8 hours as well.

Yes he will be allowed for this event. This is however not being counted as a drive so he’ll need to do the AN anyways after this event.

you will need a PCR. DPI test I think are no longer conducted.

Hi @Danish Mohammad only members who have RSVPd are allowed with their vehicle. If you have friends joining in they should be as passengers in your vehicle.

No issue @topgear take care and wish you happy new year 🎉

I have signed out from this drive due to other commitments. Hopefully, there will be another time @M.Seidam Have a great drive!

Well done @Harshad Ashraf, enjoy Fewbie level 👍🏼

Thanks Doc for the wishes...🙂 Wish you a very happy and prosperous new year, have a blast.

Confirmed, i would love to join

@Frederic I clicked manage by accident. Please remove and add me as going please.

Hi @Pacific I'm sorry I have to remove you from the RSVP list of this drive as there are nine waitlist members ahead of you. Due to some bug (still fixing) system didn't move Charbel Ghattas automatically, so I have moved him in the drive just now, as he has the first priority of being the first - first drive waitlist. If you like you can waitlist your name by hitting the "Add Waitlist" tab. @Charbel Ghattas please confirm if you still like to join this drive.

@Markus B Ive noticed your name in the waitlist. Shall i add you to the event ?

I got mine today from Fakih University Hospital at DSO within 6 hours!

Hi @M.Seidam if slot available can I join in Tomo? Sorry just realized it's tomo...mixed up days can't join tomo

Dear @Frederic Noted (Thank you so much )

Just done my PCR. Tried SEHA in City Walk to save 100 AED, but the waitnig time there sims like much more than an hour. Did it in Al Zahra - as alawas no waiting time

Hi @Frederic appreciate your quick response and well noted your reply. Please clear one more point ... If any one register himself and get membership today or tomorrow then he can reserve in RSVP "BUT" (Will he be allowed to join this event without doing AB newbie drive ?) Thanks ..

One query- is it only rtpcr or even a negative dpi result would secure the green status?

No, it's 14 days now

Green status in Al Hosne or PCR test.. Not a big issue, but good to know. Green status lasts for 30 days I assume after the last PCR

Congratulations @Chris Wing See you soon

A safety flag is one of the most important safety items during desert driving. It improves your visibility to other vehicles, allowing convoy members and approaching vehicles to spot you well before reaching the top of a dune. Every off-roader is required to carry and use a proper safety flag on every drive. Flag Requirements Your safety flag must meet the following requirements: * Height: The flag should extend 2–3 metres (7–10 ft) above the roof of your vehicle. * Mounting: Install the flag vertically using a sturdy pole, preferably mounted to the roof or side window. * Visibility: The flag must remain upright and clearly visible throughout the entire drive. Approved Flag Types The following flag types are welcome: Solid colour flags National flags Sports team flags Charity or social cause flags Custom personal designs Not Permitted The following are not permitted: Towels, rags, torn cloth, safety vests or plastic bags used as flags Political or religious flags Flags representing other off-road clubs Commercial advertising or brand promotion flags Flags containing offensive language, symbols or images Respect the Club Your safety flag represents both you and the Carnity Offroad Club. Please choose a design that is respectful and appropriate for a family-friendly environment.
