Hope all works out, sound like they have given you quiet the run around… good luck and pls share an update if insurance will pick this up, for future reference. all the best Seb Ali and all thanks A lot for the for the interesting drive, here a few pics I think collectively the biggest tires we had ever seen …

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi, it was a wonderful drive today. Always good to discover a new area and learn new skills. Made it safely back to Dubai with totally normal temps and no alignment issues.

Hi All Hope you all continued to enjoy the drive today. Just an update. I called 999 post the side airbags deployment and after reaching the entry point. They directed me to SAAED for traffic who refused to show up since there was no accident or external damage involved. They redirected me to 999/nearby police station. I first visited the nearby Dubai police station who then directed me to Al Hayer (Alain) Police station. After a few phone calls they directed me to the Alain traffic department (closed today) and guided me with some specifics. Meanwhile I have raised the query with my insurance. I guess being Sunday things are a bit slow. I hope Gaurav does not read this!😁 Thanks @Ale Vallecchi and the rest of the convoy for all the support See you on the sand sometime hopefully soon! @Ale Vallecchi I tried to play with my account profile settings but could not figure it out. Will try to check with someone on the next drive. I really enjoyed the drive today before my exit. Thanks for all the support again

We’ve just experienced one of the finest and rarest off-road drives in years, where everything came together perfectly. The weather alone was unreal for March. A cool 25°C, fully overcast skies, and not a hint of harsh sun. What followed made it even more memorable. Drizzle, rolling thunder, sudden sandstorms, and heavy rain bursts hitting together, almost like a brief cloudburst sweeping across the desert. Dramatic, slightly intimidating, yet incredibly exciting. But what truly elevated this drive wasn’t just the conditions, it was the people. An outstanding group of newbies who stayed composed, focused, and eager to learn. Strong and patient support from Fewbie and above members who kept the convoy stable throughout. A highly capable support team that ensured everything ran smoothly despite the challenging visibility, terrain, and even the final stubborn pop-out. A special mention to our new Newbie Lead, @Emanuel, who delivered an exceptional performance. Navigating through low visibility, rain, and shifting sand with confidence, consistently picking clean, safe, and well-judged lines. This was not just a drive. It was one of those rare days where weather, terrain, and team synergy aligned perfectly to create something truly memorable. Thank you all for showing up with such great spirit and patience. I’ve uploaded my images to the gallery and look forward to seeing yours. https://carnity.com/gallery/category/2538-newbie-pink-rock-sharjah-21-mar-2026/

Dear Desertnauts. Thanks a lot for joining the second Drive for Peace" exit. As you have seen from Carnity's announcements page, there is in place e new Safety Protocol in place. Find it here: Keep in mind that the drive has already BEEN CONFIRMED, so please proceed to the meeting point as scheduled, regardless of local alerts, unless you do not feel to join and choose to drop out. In this case, PLEASE POST ON THE THREAD YOUR DECISION TO DROP OUT even at the last minute, so I can receive it and make sure the convoy doesn't wait pointlessly. Other than this, the drive will proceed across the hard-faces from the entry along E14 road (Faqa to Ghantoot), all the way to the E20, in the proximity of Nahil, cross over to Nahil's side, and aim toward Sweihan Farms, just outside Sweihan town. The convoy should line up as follows: @Andrew John Melvill in Second Lead @MarkH at #3 @khurram at #4 @Aser at Center @Sebastian Nohse at #6 @_Piotr_ at #7 and @J-P L in Sweep. See you tomorrow in time for a timely departure. Have a nice and safe Saturday evening.
