Trip report - wow. No words can justify the experience. But I'm stubborn and still make an attempt. 5 cars met on time, a very detailed but quick brief, deflation and we were off. Initially @Gaurav bhai was in lead, with @Srikumar in second lead, @Javier M was next and @Emmanuel was just ahead of me. Started with having to negotiate with a lot of fencing. But one we were through the challenge was not over. Small to medium technical dunes with a few soft patches or sharp ridges to keep us awake. As we managed ourselves through all the challenges it was Sri turn to lead and Gaurav bhai took second lead position. Sri did well in his short stint as he took us through some awesome dunes. But after a while he was happy to give the lead back to Gaurav bhai. At this point I thought it was a great time to unleash our Veloceraptor, however it seems I was the one playing catch to the other 4 Veloceraptors. We had a few refusals and even fewer stucks, but on some long range dunes we were riding the ridges and criss crossing at over 60 KPH. It had been so long since we had an intermediate drive like this that we almost forgot the feeling. As we played through some of the amazing dune ranges it was almost time for Suhoor so while playing Gaurav bhai was trying to find a suitable stop. He managed to find an awesome place and the weather only helped making the Suhoor stop just as good as the drive. Everyone got lots of goodies and always so much extra to share. After a hearty meal and a couple of smokes it was time to stop eating and start the fast. We all had a quick 15 minutes to lay down watch the stars and relax before the grand finale. So it was decided to have an hour of playtime after pack up. Gaurav bhai did not close his eyes at any point not to fall asleep, but this time it was difficult to get Javier up and running. Once Javier was up we were quick of the blocks to start the final leg. As the sun slowly crawled out of its slumber it became more fun to enjoy the sight and the feeling of off roading in one of the best terrains in UAE. It was so much fun that we lost track of time and kept on pushing for more beyond the hour. At some point Gaurav bhai realized that one person in the team was loosing the energy and decided to call it a day. After the inflation it was quick hugs good bye and we were on our way back home. Thanks to Gaurav bhai for his call to keep me awake till my way home. Thank you to all who could make it to a wonderful time and looking forward to more such drives. Also looking forward to developing more people towards this level to have more people enjoy this terrain. Until next time Adios.

Come on, Sertac... “Legends never die, they just change shape” !

hello I'm new to the Club, looking forward to drives

Congratulations

Now you have to test it in Faya 😜

Yesterday i found chance to test it. I went to Al Qudra for BBQ with my friend. He offer to make a small drive. I was thinking since it is bigger and slightly heavier than Cherokee it wont be that good but i am surprised that it did very well. It has good clearance even stock form i never got crested. It has enough power to climb. It is way far smoother than my old Cherokee. So far so good!

After a super exciting fun intermediate drive I would like to propose a relaxed night drive for all level of drivers to enjoy. It's time to self-drive your 4X4 to venture through the desert safely with offroad experts. Its time to enjoy an evening drive and in fresh sand dunes to challenge your senses and 4x4, with the best offroad enthusiasts in UAE. As the summer has arrived we will be having night drives now, so let's thrill all your senses. This drive will also enable us to gear up and learn important aspects of desert driving in the nights, as it would be easier for newbies to join in night drives after this nicely paced drive.
