Always good to spend time in the desert and enjoy the good company and Carnity spirit. Had a great time this morning, although for a moment was wondering if I was in a Carnity Convoy or a Jeeprs one! Thanks @Islam Soliman for fantastic drive as always, regardless of the level! Well done to @Amr Aydin in second lead and @imranaasghar81 sweeping the convoy! We had some great learnings at the beginning how important tyre pressures are, and it isn’t a “one pressure” for all tyres and vehicles. You will learn over time what is right for your car. Good mix of technical and open dunes to continue practicing our skills. Well done to the guys at the front who were on their first or second drive. As Islam explained, over time you will get to know your cars and the balance between steering, gas and momentum. As always, few pictures of the “Majestic jeeps” in the gallery and below a link to article on Compressors for @shailendra singh vilkhu

Thanks @Kailas, a great drive! I enjoyed every part of it! Thanks as well for the support of @topgear, @Looper, @Chris Wing and @Gaurav Soni. With a tug and a shovel there, it went all very smooth!

Hi All, Fantastic drive today. Man of the match definitely goes to Rob who absolutely gave level 10 support to the crew well done mate! I had loads of fun and my guest I hadn't seen in like 8 years absolutely loved the adventure it was his first time on the sand. Islam I have to also say that what I love about your drives is the level of detail and explanation you give as we mustn't forget what we do is an extreme sport and one slip or bad decision could have serious consquences - your level of knowledge and expertise along with detail in your briefing is excellent. Thanks for having me as your sweep and hopefully I'll have a chance to do the same again. Have a great weekend and Ramadan Kareem to those that are observing. Thanks all, Imran & my guest Saddam, BtW Finar your car is the T-2000 mate. Great fun watching you take no prisoners on the dunes haha

@Frederic thank you for an excellent drive today was extremely enjoyable as always, loved the free flowing mid to long range dunes in a beautiful part of the UAE. with a great bunch of folks. hardly any stucks or refusals and only had to get the shovel out once, that is always a blessing great Second lead by @Jorge Stepniak Felippe and was a pleasure to drive with old and new friends you guys always make it a special and enjoyable morning out @Naveen Raj @MMansoor@H3 Joe@Archibald Jurdi@Anoop Nair @Arda Yagcioglu and not to forget our three sweepers lol @Looper @Kailas @GauravSoni thanks again was a great way to spend Sunday morning @Arda Yagcioglu hope you get your car sorted mate

@Wrangeld thanks for long awaited night drive. It's always fun n learning with you. Weather did the trick, for the drive and recoveries. Great help from @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil. Night driving is bit different from day, though the basics remains the same, its implementation need to be more precise, as the view differs. We had shovelling, popout and tugging. All together it was fun. Gravity is friend and foe if used correctly, unfortunately yesterday saw many fighting gravity. As newbie we were on small dunes,but can disastrous on larger dunes, so take a word of caution. Also Whenever you have refusal, dont accelerate more until your shows signs of movement ekse you will keep digging, always start with slow acceleration. Always follow the instructions, we dont want fun to be spoiled, over and above it is for safety. @Udit S @Waqar Sarwar @Joji varghese @george charbel @Rajiv Sam @eldose baby @Dinesh Kumar A @Farook Veettil @Savio Fernandes and @Quresh Pajero good to see you guys. Hope everyone reached home safely, as it was quite foggy.

@Kailas thanks for taking us in the night for this convoy. Very refreshing, challenging and intense @Looper @Chris Wing as usual great conversations and support from you guys @Gaurav Soni it’s been a while, see you soon in leading drives @Karthik Raptor fun to drive with you at the rear great fun with the rest of the convoy, a variety of cars and many new faces too. Have a great week ahead.

Thank you, @Islam Soliman for the significant lead, drive and knowledge given us, @imranaasghar81 for the great sweep and @Rob S for the amazing support (i see you everywhere i look when there is a stuck or refusal 😃) ; you guys have done a great job with keeping us all together. Thank you for all the team for all the effort and the great company. See you all next time.

Be careful with the speed limit guys, during foggy mornings the speed limit is reduced on AD roads. The AD police app will show a notification.
