RSA, AXA and Oman all 3 have good offroad insurance cover.

Tried it last week and it was fab!

Proud new member of a new MM...Haven't tested it yet, but seems sturdy!

Finally after long wait my search for desert warrior came to conclusion with this beast. Happy with purchase and can't wait to get back to sand. 😀 Special thanks to @Barry for the inspection and advices.

Hi @Christian Andras in addition to what @Gaurav suggested and agree with him . Also beware that offroad cover is noted in the policy when it’s comprehensive and when the 4X4 vehicle is GCC registered up to my knowledge. personally I deal with RSA for all my past and current machines and I am happy with them.

Hi @Chaitanya D. What happened to the car? Hope it gets fixed soon.

@Rizwanm2 congratulations with your new ride. Drive it in good health.

Congrats @Rizwanm2 !!

Congrats @Rizwanm2. Time to change the car in your profile 😁 See you on the sand

Having a basic compass in the car is also a recommended. In case you think you are lost in the desert, try to find the highest dune nearby and walk to the top. In Dubai or Sharjah MOSTPROBABLY you'll see a road or pylons nearby that you can use to navigate towards.

Moonshooters Good Morning, @Jun Zamora, @Tero Vallas, @Jeandre Bezuidenhout, @David Ortells, @Lorenzo Candelpergher, @Jolly Abraham, @jodha singh shekhawat, @Ashok chaturvedi, @Miguel Ibarbia, @Ilya Golubinsky ( @Shiju Manuel, @Jeepie, @Kalahari The plan this week is to shoot for the moon. The idea - to start at Nawi farm and see the sun go down high up on the dunes of Big Red or the other dunes nearby and exit with a short night time drive. With such an experienced convoy, we should be able to push both the pace and complexity of the drive to practice side sloping and criss crossing on some of the most inviting dunes ranges in our region (or at least the region in which we are permitted in these covid times - where we cannot enter Adu Dhabi). It's is lunar month moon end, so we will hope to see the last slivers of the moon for this month form up high. More information to follow as well as a some nice additional 'features' planned for this drive. Have a great week. See you soon in the sand.

With the tremendous increase in the number of COVID cases in the UAE, we all have to be responsible while off-roading. Failing to abide by any single precaution at any time during the drive, will result in an immediate ban from Carnity Off-road Club. ZERO TOLERANCE First offender - 1 Month Ban. Second offender - 3 Month Ban. Third offender - lifetime ban and report to authorities. COVID19 PRECAUTIONS 2.0 All Carnity off-road drives will be LIMITED to driving only: No Socializing and gathering allowed at any time. No break for taking photos, breakfast, smoking, etc. No exchanging of off-road or recovery gears. Wear a mask at all times, while outside your vehicle. For passengers restrictions, follow RTA or NCEMA guidelines. All passengers should be inside the car, at all times. Maintain a minimum of 2-meter social distance at all times. Sanitize your hands and recovery gear after use. PS1. If you and your passenger cannot sit inside your vehicle for 3-4 hours please DO NOT JOIN CARNITY DRIVES. PS2. A Member who has RSVP the drive is RESPONSIBLE and LIABLE for their passenger's compliance. PS3. The above precautions apply to everyone irrespective of their vaccination status or schedule. PS4. You can confidentially submit the photo of any offender by sending an email to [email protected]. How to comply Read the drive post before arriving at the meeting point, so that you know your convoy numbering and radio channel. Arrive at the meeting point and switch on your radio to the pre-set frequency of the drive. Stop your vehicle at least 10-20 meters away from each other. Deflate your tires, while wearing a mask, and then go back inside your car. All briefings will be done on the radio now, so pay full attention to a briefing for your own safety. After the briefing, fall in your convoy position just before the drive starts. While driving if you get stuck, announce on the radio and be inside your car at all times. Trip lead and/or support will guide you on the radio for self-recovery or tow-rope recovery. While there is a stuck or a refusal, everyone else supposed to be inside their car at all times. You can only take a bio-break during the drive, by requesting trip lead permission. Once the drive is over exit out to inflate by maintaining 10-20 meters distance from each other. While inflating, only the driver supposed to be out and with the face mask at all times. After the drive, you can talk on the radio for any feedback, suggestions or help you need.
