Fantastic concept @M.Seidam ! no better way to spend a nice evening with some Carnity friends !

Hi @Ale Vallecchi Yes my car has tow hooks in front and back, i have a radio (motorolla MT-777), off road flag, compressor, pressure gauge and tire deflators. I did participated thrice on a desert drive with a group of owners similar to my car (monterosport). Also, a few months ago, i used to drive to exit 116 in RAK every weekend just to watch people do some crazy stunts in the sand dunes 😅. But surely I did not participate in these stunts because i am inexperienced and i was too afraid to break my car. So instead i just watched them and just drive around to explore the area. I wanna join desert drives because i really wanna learn more about desert driving and have fun as well 😊 Hope that you will admit me to the drive, Thanks.

Thanks Fredy for opening up such a thoughtful and necessary discussion. It’s inspiring to see conversations around sustainability taking root in the off-road community. While the environmental impact of any motorized activity is real and worth acknowledging, I also believe it’s important to consider the human impact—how off-roading offers a deeply therapeutic escape from today’s hyper-digital, high-pressure world. In today's time when screens dominate our waking hours, and we all are trapped in cycles of stress from work, finances, and even family pressures, the desert becomes more than just a playground—it becomes a much need escape. For many of us, off-roading isn’t about “just driving for 4 hours on sand,” but about disconnecting to reconnect: with nature, with people, and with ourselves. The value of switching off from the noise of modern life—emails, deadlines, notifications—is difficult to quantify, but deeply felt. There's something profoundly healing about watching the sunrise, navigating the ever-shifting dunes with full attention (no time to think about our problems), or sharing stories by a campfire under the stars. These off-road drives offer mental detox, reset and emotional clarity that’s hard to come by elsewhere. That said, I agree with the idea of evolving our passion consciously. If we can practice “purposeful driving,” as @Mike M. and @JeromeFJ. beautifully put it, and make small but sincere efforts—like minimizing litter, exploring local trails, organizing desert clean-ups, or even combining drives with meaningful activities like stargazing or wildlife observation—we can naturally align our love for off-roading with sustainability values. Ultimately, it's not just about reducing carbon footprints—it's about balancing our lifestyle, so we leave behind not only a cleaner planet but also stronger, happier versions of ourselves to be remembered.

Dear desert Wanderers, @Aser, @Sam Selim, @Alexanderrr, @J-P L, @Andrei S, @Steve Farmer, @Ahmed Farouk, @Krinesh, @Aggy22and @Zsolt, we are pleased to announce that @Looper has kindly agreed to take the wait list in a separate convoy, this will be meeting at the same place and we will meet up at the break, we have moved you guys to the new calendar event, and look forward to seeing you all in the sand on Saturday

Great lead by @M.Seidam for my first carnity night drive could have been the terrain but felt super comfortable going through the "playgrounds" and had a great time so big thanks to everyone in the convoy for the smooth drive @Andrei S @Zsolt @Jose Luis Campos @Mahmut special thanks to @Senthil Kumar for the guidance and @Mike M. for bringing the light of god and illuminating qudra as before. Struggle with the flag continues. Hopefully next solution will be the final one 😂

I spy @Benje_Juniorin the convoy suddenly 🧐👍 see you all tomorrow 🌞👏

Good morning @Nikki1007. Thanks for your reply. Just to know, in which areas did you drive with the Montero group? This can help in understanding the type of terrain you are familiar with. Thanks

Thanks doc @M.Seidam for a great drive tonight and even a greater concept of a drive. We were in excellent company tonight with @Andrei S @Zsolt @Talal H @Jose Luis Campos @Senthil Kumar @Mahmut Posted a couple of pics in the gallery. Until the next one…

@Davie Smooth_Operator thank you, i had wondered what happened to the waitlist

Dear @Ale Vallecchi, Thank you for your message ! Yes I have been twice into desert, once it was in Al Qudra and the other one was at Pink Rock. I confirm that I have the tow points at both in the front and back, the radio, the flag, a rope and deflator + inflator. Thank you ! Have a great day,
