@Islam Soliman’s drives are always great! Thanks again for leading us in the sands. As we skipped the technical section and headed to the long range dunes i was wondering if Islam was feeling okay! But, he saved that suprise for the end and made sure the convoy at opportunity to practice shoveling! well done to @Paul Zietsman and @Zubair and great to meet some new and old faces in the mixed convoy!

Thank you very much @Islam Soliman and @Vaibhav for the support and guidance and all team members enjoyed the drive a lot, especially the long side slipping looking forward for more drives Zubair

Technically it shouldn't as I myself unchecked Monday from the restriction list at 6 PM today. Also, today's drive has been canceled and all attendees have been removed by @M.Seidam and I deleted that calendar permanently today at 11 AM.

Thank you @Vaibhav, Jeep power for life 😉

@Gaurav due to the newbie drive it was not allowing us to join.

Thank you so much @Islam Soliman 😊

Thank you again for another fantastic drive @Islam Soliman Very interesting terrain today... I always come away having learned so much!

Its ok now @Gaurav but did have the restriction in the beginning. I guess few guys have missed out the rsvp as it got full by then

Monday drive has been unchecked from the restriction already (at 6 PM). That shouldn't have caused the back-dated restriction. Please try again.

All the usual culprits have already joined.

Glitch due to holidays . Guess would be resolved soon

Congratulations @Haitham Khattab 👏👏👏

Seems to be ok now

I had the same issue when trying to book

Same problem with me. @Rob S @Vaibhav i think all of us in todays drive have the same issue. Couldnt add myself in any drive

@M.Seidam unable to join. Is today’s drive considered as the drive for Saturday and Sunday ?

Says i have exceeded my weekly drive limit. @Gaurav i guess todays drives have caused system issue? Please can i be added to drive, thanks

Thank you @Gaurav & @Carnity Family for this great news. Looking forward to more amazing adventures with carnity Family. Special Thanks to All Marshal, Experts & Support Teams for their continued guidance and valuable advices, giving me the chance to learn and enjoy a superb, Safe desert driving experience. Thank you @M.Seidam, I remember the special amazing night drive with you in your birthday & the tasty treat for all convoy members. Your patience & guidance was exemplary😊.

Congratulations @Haitham Khattab on the promotion. Jeep power 💪

It has been a few weeks since my last drive and good to be in the sand again. I actually started my drive on 2WD and without switching off my abs, airbag and all the gizmos 😅. Deflation is king so thankfully I managed to disengaged all the driver’s aid and engage 4WD whilst crossing the first small dune. Thanks @Vanessa8580 for showing us a variety of terrains and challenges as mentioned by @Warren Flay 😆 @Waqas Parvez you indeed had a busy day today and thanks for all your efforts and offers for help when I had my refusals. @Sam K I hope you got your car issues resolved ahead of your travel. @Imran Kashif I enjoyed driving with you, you handled your FJ really well although it was only your first drive in the FJ. Enjoy the car. To the rest of the convoy, thanks for coming out. See you all next time. I will share more photos at the gallery.
