DRIVE REPORT Still a little bit dazed and tired from this adventure, i wanted to write-up some of our experiences in order to save them and to optimize our TOC challenge for next year (yes this should become a yearly event i think). DAY 1 We started in the early morning at the Ghayati prayer hall with a briefing, and after devouring some tiramisu cake Gaurav served us for breakfast. We needed some sugar boost and it did the trick ! One local fellow passed by to welcome us in his city. Soon he asked what we were doing there and when we told him about our plan to drive to the Oman border he started laughing and waved goodbye to that bunch of crazy convoy 😁 Soon we headed out towards Beda Al Matawa, one of the last towns before reaching the military zone that border Saudi Arabia. From there we deflated and headed into the dunes. We decided to steer clear from the actual Saudi border in order not to wake them up with a 15 car convoy and to avoid being in shooting range None of us really knew what to expect in those first hours of crossing that first part of the desert, but what we found was hard to describe, from flat areas to tight technical dunes, and everything in between. At one portion we had spent approx 1.5-2hrs driving on super soft treacherous sand that felt like i was not deflated at all (i was at 9psi). The entire convoy pushed its way through it but we were burning up fuel like crazy from constant revving and keeping the momentum. By the time we reached the first highway crossing at the E15, some were already on their min level of fuel. We had jerrycans but we knew we could not enter the Yellow truck area anymore with such little fuel, so we inflated and quickly made our way to the nearest ADNOC. @Mus_hus78and @salah2u decided to call it a day and headed back home. You guys have missed so much and it's a bit disappointing so see people leaving early. From that ADNOC, going back to the TOC line proved a bit tricky. I was able to find a gatch track further on the highway that brought us back into the desert and ran parallel with the E15 so we could keep heading south and connect back to the TOC line. There we found AMAZING dunes, both big and technical, and with the sun setting it was a sight to behold ! Once it got dark, we set up camp a little bit north of Waypoint 22 and had a great evening by the fire. @KAMALIOwas perhaps new into this camping thing, but was found to be a master chef and shared fantastic food from the BBQ. DAY 2 The next morning, we set out again and headed south to get back on the TOC line. A couple of dunes away we spotted a beautiful play area so we all had some good fun and it gave a good morning boost and adrenaline to keep us going. Around Waypoint 23 we had to cross several pipes from the oil fields. None of us were 100% comfortable in this area so close to the oil rigging stations so we quickly dashed through the area. We used the available gatch tracks a much as possible. The part from Waypoint 24 to 31 is where we usually drive on our yearly visit to the Yellow Truck. As this area is spacious with nice open dunes we really picked up the pace and flew through it in a matter of 90mins. We reached the Yellow Truck entry point by noon time and make a quick run to the ADNOC Maraba Al Dhafra which was only 15-20mins up north. After refueling, and stocking up our coolers with fresh drinks and snacks, we now needed to cross the E45. The initial point i marked seemed blocked due to the Etihad rail, so we had to make a quick detour and enter a bit further down. The next part proved to be a nice open area with vegetation, farms, and the views here were really scenic. I could have put my chair and sat there for the rest of the day, but we needed to keep moving and soon we were driving parallel to a fence for about 1.5hrs. The going became tough when on this track we had probably more than a hundred straight crests to conquer. This part was probably for many among us the part where we started to feel the intensity of the drive. We made it to the E65 crossing (Himeem Road) around 4pm and now had to make a choice. Until now everyone was performing absolutely brilliantly and the whole convoy was perfectly in tune with each other. We knew due to the needed detours to ADNOC it would now be impossible to reach the Oman border before dark but our spirits were high and we all decided to give one last final sprint that took us through technical areas where the flow of the drive was virtually un-interrupted. We had fuel, and were hungry to see how far we could get. I communicated that the next exit was at Razeen road where we have the well-known Al Quoa milkyway spot. Our focus was on that and it was the only way out. TARGET SET...GO ! We gave it our last push and had to navigate through steep technical bowls in the dark. It was here that Ashutosh had a near miss when he flew over a crest, nosedived, but by the grace of God, ended up sideways without rolling. After getting our bearings, we anchored the car from the other side as he had one wheel up in the air. With some shoveling we got him down and dealt with the popout and one tyre that kept leaking (sand between the rim but no pop-out). The techniques that @Gauravand @Srikumar applied cannot be found in a rulebook or library, you need to see it to be able to grasp it 🤣 As Ashutosh his front drive axle was getting louder and louder, we had to cross the last 7km very slowly and with minimal challenges. We finally made it to the dirt track where we found a lonely soul in a small sedan stuck in the sand. We quickly pulled him out and sent him on his way. Seeing all this above, and considering we took a 15 car convoy through some of the most challenging areas i have experienced, i had my own doubts prior to the drive. But as sometimes seen in famous sport games, sometimes the entire team rises above all expectations and the group becomes like one. For the very first time i felt this was the case and all of you drove so extremely well, kept your patience, resilience, and worked together in unison to make this challenge worthwhile ! I THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THAT ! @KAMALIO your initial impression was that we would leave the traction control on for two days and drive only on sabkhas. I saw your face lighting up when i told we were going to drive in the dunes the entire weekend and you drove superb and always kept a smile ! @Ashutosh Garg you drove fantastic the entire weekend. The mishap was a miscalculation from your side and we are all human and it could have happened to anyone. Keep driving and learning to find the perfect throttle until you are one with your car ! Well done buddy ! @AlexM you are a coolheaded guy who looked like he could exit in Al Quoa and then deflate and go back to the Saudi border where we started ! Amazing driver ! Hope you had a good weekend out ! @Ranjan Dasi so love your spirit and smile ! You came next my car at 4pm as we were discussing the plan and you were adament to keep going. Fantastic !! @munkybizness your creative brain must have been working overtime and i hope the scenic views gave you lots of stuff to ponder on. Thanks for the superb playlist, i played it on the way home on Razeen road and it kept me awake @Amr Aydin and Sophie, you both are true desert troopers ! Always great to be around you guys ! @Naveen Raj absolutely TOP NOTCH driving and attitude !!! @Foxtrot Oscar I hope you had a blast. Whatever doubt you had in your skill level was quickly thrown out the door and your rocked the black X fantastically !! @JeromeFJ i could never wish for a better sweep / support / inflator / spray-washer supplier / caterpillar / hardcore camper ! Thank you so much for joining. Finally, my two fellow seniors who taught me so much over the years, @Gauravand @Srikumar ALWAYS tirelessly managing situations, guiding and helping, rerouting, and giving me the chance to post a drive like this and allowing me to plan such a mad plan 😆 THANK YOU Day 1 we covered 256kms. Day 2 we covered 297kms. 553kms of pure fun, even if that included two ADNOC trips ! For next edition there are definitely things we can learn, and we will optimize it so perhaps we can get that group photo at the TOC signpost next time !

Thank you Fredy for an absolute Epic Drive. This drive was long awaited, but it was absolutely worth the wait. This drive was not your regular offroad drive, but rather a proper overlanding where the objective was to reach a destination. It was a test of your endurance and ability to keep focus through long durations. By the time the drive had ended, we had offroaded for 24 hours spread over 2 days in unchartered territory. For me, the first stretch on Day 1 and the last stretch on Day 2 were the real highlights of the entire drive. The powder soft sand on Day 1 tested all of us and made us remember the basics of how one should stop the car when the convoy is not moving and how to choose your lines. The last stretch on Day 2, was a brilliant fast paced driving through some tight rolling dunes. Fredy was clearly a man on a mission, as he was setting a blistering pace with all of us playing catchup. These kind of overlanding trips, gives us all the chance to appreciate Nature at its very best and also to spend some time chatting with your passengers as well as other drive participants. I could spend so much time talking with my copilot, Kabir and the so many stories that he had to share. Those were the priceless moments that I will always remember from this drive. To all the drive participants, you guys were superheroes and the reason we could achieve an astounding 500+ km of offroad driving. So inspiring was the drive, that Kabir brought out his photography skills to click a beautiful picture at the camp site of Day 1. I have attached a few more pics in the gallery.

A journey of truly epic proportions. Over-landing is such a hot hobby right now but there’s not many people I’d follow 500km across the desert , so when @Frederic posted this drive I jumped on it! You just knew that Fred would have planned it with the precision of a neurosurgeon, every path, every track and every flipping fence would have been meticulously examined. It was exhilarating, exhausting, exciting and exceptional all at once. The Baja run near the 3/4 mark not only brushed off all my off-roading cobwebs but sharpened my skills. It felt so good to finally be ‘back’! Thanks to everyone in the convoy for the camaraderie and the excellent driving prowess. Many many many thanks to @Frederic @Gaurav @Srikumar and @JeromeFJfor getting us through it all. The Freddy Express ! Yalla

My limited overlanding experience from the past has always been bad to super bad as driving with friends and colleagues will tear apart the plan in a few hours when one wanna go left and another wanna go right. That's where the importance comes to overland with like-minded people with a single leader so you can accomplish something at the end as one team. Simply put in my 16+ years of off-roading, I have never experienced such an amazing drive with such amazing off-roaders led by an amazing lead to march toward a single goal - to drive on the Tropic of cancer - and nothing else. And this beautiful combination was priceless and a secret recipe to the whole success. Big congratulations to everyone. These are the list of few things that this EPIC expedition offered: Mind game - Most important Perseverance with a strong determination to keep pushing beyond your physical limits and boundaries, even when you are tired, hungry, or sleepy. Razor sharp focus at all times as anything less will gonna cost you more time, delay and fuel. Positive attitude to keep thinking of one thing at all times in spite of all failed or half-working strategies. Great teamwork displayed at every stuck, refusal, and pop-out to get going in a jiffy to save time. Punctual and precise with every break time, camping, packing up cars etc, to save much time for real action with a very healthy and required balance of breaks in between. Responsibly driving without breaking your car and keeping a close eye on each other to help the whole convoy stay on course, safely, at all times. Sweaty palms, nerve-wracking moments, pounding heart with a racing heartbeat, sore back, legs and arms with under-rest body and mind but still able to push it through to get going with a big smile. Off-road driving Ultra soft sand to let you go back to basics of developing a perfect throttle (real art of off-roading) to not let you sink or fly through the dune. Plan your stops or else sharpen your self-recovery - blip blip skills. Test your car power and weight at the same time with any/all gizmos you may have. Stay afloat to keep breathing. Precise control over tall dunes, to follow the curviest path of least resistance where we burn less fuel yet cross those humongous dunes and slip face without getting stuck or refusals. Rev to 6k, not much, but we have been given many chances to stretch the rev-band on enormous bowls which lies on the line of TOC. Boring gatch track that lets you sleep at 60 km speed and then wakes you up with a big bang of axle bending ditch of twisted technical mini dune with bumper hitting sharp drops. Beautiful scenic view with literally hand-painted picture-perfect dunes on both sides, that can mesmerize you all the way - my best moment. Crossing endless crest - big fear for any offroader as you need to be in full sync with your car power and angle of inclination. This drive tested from tall dunes to slip-face crest - all the way and everyone delivered remarkably well, without getting stuck or breaking the bumper. Musical sand - as many know - descending from super tall dune offers you musical sand that pushes your car sideways with tons (literally) of sand behind your rear end and leaves you to constantly correct your fishtail on these massive slopes. Hard to read sand as in some places what we know is constantly challenged. The ripple side is super soft and the slip face side was hard. Simply because of a recent change in wind patterns, everything we know was constantly challenged. Adding more spices to the mix. Dakar speed fun, at very safe and open dunes, the whole convoy zipped at IM level pace and precision with zero refusal or stuck. Such a hard-core expedition of pushing 550 Km off-road in two days is best suited with 3-4 cars (initially intended), but how we all managed with such a long convoy of 13 amazing drivers is itself a remarkable achievement. I'm very proud to be a part of it. Thanks to all the great drivers and super thankful to all gods, for letting us complete this amazing achievement without any incident and drive back home safely. I admit this was the first expedition drive that I have completed (as planned) and the first one to drive 550+ km in two days. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Such an overland expedition sets a new definition of off-roading by offering all sorts of off-road adventures packed in one hell of a Mega Drive (until @munkybizness comes up with a more apt name). MANY THANKS, @Frederic for putting your heart and soul behind the scene to plan and improvise all nitty-gritty to perfectly execute such a beast of a drive/exploration/expedition with a cool head and big smile - all the way. You are truly a remarkable and gifted leader who knows how to deliver without pushing and yet balancing the whole team at peak performance. I felt so honored to be your second lead, but honestly, I hardly corrected anything and rather thoroughly enjoyed driving behind you - reminded me of our old days together. I totally agree that everyone drove fantastically but key credit goes to your exemplary leadership skills to see through the whole convoy strength and accordingly chart the track. And you've delivered your A-game through this EPIC expedition buddy. Constantly facing one challenge after the other with soft sand, sand storm, block exits, detours, running out of fuel and covering fewer km than expected, you never let your doubts or skepticism pass it to the team and always lifted their spirits. Really amazing feat Fredy, and my heartiest congratulations for setting the bar so high at the first attempt. I eagerly look fwd to reading more trip reports or experiences from all other drivers to see such mega drive experience through their lens.

@FredericFirst of all thanks for organizing this epic expedition drive, you deserve a big round of applause for executing this challenging journey seamlessly with a convoy of 13 vehicles and everyone exiting safely. The drive reminded me of all the basics that you taught me in the absolute newbie drive, it was very challenging, stimulating and stressful to stay focused and alert at all times throughout the drive and it really tested my endurance levels as it pushed to my extreme and at some point thought of giving up. I am truly amazed by your off-roading skills , you are an off-roading LEGEND. A big round of applause to all the superb drivers and the support team members with each one contributing to the success of this drive. I believe this will pave way for more overlanding trips. It was my first camping experience, really enjoyed the camp fire, dinner and the discussions.

Thank you so much @Gauravthere is no way i would have been able to pull this off without the whole Carnity family behind me. I say family because we lift each other and become a better version of ourselves when spending time with likeminded people in the sand.

@Rizwanm2 amazing drive! It was amazing to try the new suspension out on rougher terrain + ridge riding finally my bump stops can have a well deserved rest 😂 Great to see some new faces out on the trail enjoying our hobby and I hope to join everyone on the next one! Enjoy the end of the weekend everyone I’ll upload some photos once I got a secure connection

Drive Plan Last few weeks, with Liwa Crossing, awesome Sweihan trips and amazing tour tracking Tropic of Cancer, we have had some great times. It also means, many of us are running short of Home Ministry patience points as well as Cafu Dollars. 😀 Ofcourse the innate need to be out on sand and have some thrilling time still needs to satiated. This drive is specifically designed to address these elements. Through this drive, we will transverse through some of the most awesome long range dunes and ridges in Qudra in a fast paced drive, ensuring we have some fun time. And ofcourse being in Qudra means we get back home in time for that family lunch and earn some additional brownie points. 😀 Sure, Spicy Village is no CZN Burak, but then, it has its own cheap thrills, so let’s catch up to enjoy this drive through Qudra togather. 🔥🔥🤪 General Overview We request every member that joins this drive to go through the below information and strictly follow these guidelines, etiquettes and responsibilities.

That filled up fast, got pulled into a teams meeting and next I know it’s 10 past 7 and I’m frantically clicking reload to add to the waitlist ..

Fantastic and very creative idea @JeromeFJ to connect AD with DXB, must be an exciting fast pace sprint, I'm sure.

Partially self recovering:)

Fun drive @Rizwanm2 thank you again! Had a great morning and enjoyed the technical aspects of the drive today. two videos attached - one captures rear and @Fabien Monleaufollowing and one has @Benjaminin the front. Thanks again @Rob S for sweeping us all up as well https://share.icloud.com/photos/065jUlqulRyqzu99VTLI48yWA

Great drive today, thankyou @Rizwanm2 for finding some awesome routes through the sands! Good to see old faces @Fabien Monleau and @Mahmoud Taha.

Pajero 3.5L Black 2012 Having basic desert off-road experience, climbing dunes straight front and rear tow hooks available in good condition

Whew!, it was a fastest finger first literally the way @Varun Mehndiratta 's drives gets totally booked out with ample people left in the dreaded WL column to make a full strength additional convoy. 😁 Enjoy guys, as it seems far fetched to get a 6-7 WL confirmed; but, I'll keep my hopes high and await.

Looks like its FJs and Xterras for now

Hi everyone! this is my first ride with Carnity, so I am not sure if I need to mention below details here.... if not, I am sorry. Vehicle Details: Jeep Wrangler TJ - 2 doors - Black - 2003 Prior experience: no experience, I have attended the Carnity desert masterclass only. I confirm that my car has 2 hooks at the front and 2 rear hooks I have programable radio and safety flag and all necessary gear for the ride level. See you soon!

Congrats @Yaseen87

Congrats @Krishna R

Yes, there are couple of shops in mussfah area.. Please call this guy 0521543763, his name is Shefad and can help you with the kill switch Installation

Hello @M.Seidam Doc, I got the part from Ajman, thanks to @Thomas Varghese and fixed it. For the suspension hitting the axle, I got extended bump stops and that solved the issue. Looking forward to joining your drives soon

If places are the same, drives are always different. Not enough focus, I found myself stucked in a tricky situation. @Rob Ssecured my LC with his new FJ, to avoid capsizing while self recovering. Quickly and safely back on track, @Rizwanm2brought us from the technical dunes of Al Faqa to the technical dunes of little Sweihan to exit in Al Qadra. Despite some refusals, convoy drove almost perfectly. Have a nice week and hope to drive with you next week 😉

I never leave Abu Dhabi people behind in their own town 😁

Phewwww, made it last minute 😅

You are in Maximum 10 in going. Have now added Jorge as he was next in WL

Sorry for the delay Fred …… you can count me in if there are any drop outs ……

@Frederic hi Fred, it shows 9 going, what’s the max number I am under the impression it’s 10, if I remove myself from waitlist will I be able to see going green tab?

@Jorge Stepniak Felippe tag! You’re up… I am still not confirmed for the drive with some changes in plan lurking around…

looks like the support team and the leads will be in the waitlist))

until now i had only one worry - how get permission for this drive; you have added the hidden egg on top - this will be one epic drive

Thanks Fredy for arranging this long awaited drive. I will be joining along with my co-pilot. Looking forward to a proper overlanding trip along with camping. Going to be exciting

@Frederic this is a fantastic overland themed drive, I dare to call it a signature one in case no other club would have thought or done it before Carnity. Attaining approvals from my MoI and her technical advisors will be as challenging as the drive itself. If I am not able to make it, I won't even dare reading the post drive reports as it will be without doubt an epic drive and will hurt knowing all that was missed. Fingers crossed!

Hey Ale and Star Trek Fans I just thought I would leave this here 😁

I’d loved to join you, but my wife would kick me out:)
