In the year of our Lord, at the ungodly hour of 5:45 a.m., a brave band of explorers assembled at the edge of the Arabian wilderness. Sleepy eyes, steaming coffee cups, deflators in hand, and the unwavering conviction that nothing could possibly go wrong. We were wrong. After what historians will undoubtedly remember as Fred’s Great Briefing of 2026, we finally departed at 6:30 a.m. Rumour has it that Fred had intended to continue speaking for another hour, but the sun, the dunes and perhaps even nature itself urged us onward. The desert welcomed us with breathtaking views. Golden light stretched across the horizon as our convoy marched into the unknown like an armoured caravan setting out to conquer an endless sea of sand. Leading us was Fred, whose wisdom was rivalled only by his love of lengthy explanations. Close behind was JC, our fearless support lead, who repeatedly demonstrated that experience is what prevents enthusiasm from becoming an expensive repair bill. On more than one occasion, he tactfully adjusted Fred’s chosen route in the interest of keeping the entire convoy alive and reasonably intact. Then fate turned its gaze towards Jakob. Positioned fifth in the convoy, Jakob displayed extraordinary courage and an unwavering determination to investigate every possible method of becoming stuck. Again and again, the desert embraced him as one of its own. At one dramatic moment, the dunes demanded a sacrifice, and a portion of Jakob’s front bumper was offered to the desert gods. Yet the man refused to surrender. The vehicle endured. The convoy persevered. Lessons were learned. Meanwhile, Glen stood beside him like a loyal brother in arms, displaying the patience, commitment and good humour of a man who had accepted that this was going to be a very long morning. Yarem and Arthur, his young son, attacked the drive with tremendous energy. Arthur, in particular, spent much of the morning filling my rear-view mirror, following so closely and so relentlessly that I began to wonder whether he intended to overtake me, challenge me to a duel or simply remind me that youth fears nothing. Esteban, Diego and I proudly carried the banner of the Latin contingent, bringing warmth, enthusiasm, laughter and, from time to time, a somewhat flexible interpretation of radio communications. Then there was Vanessa, our marshal. To say that she enjoyed the drive would be an understatement. The truth is that she longed for greater challenges. Bigger dunes. Steeper climbs. Greater danger. Her Wrangler, meanwhile, seemed determined to remind everyone of its legendary status. And, naturally, so did Vanessa. The final section of the route was magnificent. Technical, demanding and utterly beautiful. Sharp ridges rose before us like the walls of ancient fortresses, while the convoy twisted and turned through the sands with elegance, courage and the occasional cry of, “Careful!” At last, we reached the break point. There was no shade. Not a tree. Not a cloud. Not even the faintest suggestion of mercy. The stop was therefore kept to the absolute minimum required to prevent us from being transformed into perfectly seasoned barbecues beneath the relentless Arabian sun. As the expedition finally came to an end, exhausted adventurers emerged from their vehicles. Faces were covered in sand, radios were falling silent and everyone wore the unmistakable smile of people who had once again shared something extraordinary. The desert had tested our skill, our courage and our patience. It had strengthened friendships. It had humbled egos. And it had claimed a bumper. A fair exchange, perhaps. Until the next adventure.

Always happy to demonstrate the correct way to get stuck 😎

Hey guys, thanks again for all being out and on time this morning. Was a really good drive from my side - we moved at the ridges with building speed and complexity during our time out, and in general it went very well. I’d like to say a special thanks to @Mahesh_ @Jose Luis Campos @Sam Selim and @DP1011 for supporting today and helping with the reattempts and reroutings. Part three will hopefully appear soon…watch this space!

@Ale Vallecchi @Jerome @Jose Luis Campos @Steve Farmer @Giacomo @Steffi @Glenn W Hey guys - looking ahead to tomorrow afternoon, we have our 8 car convoy filled up as follows. We will be using CH10 (446.231-25). Let's aim to meet and be setup for 15:30 promptly if we can, and we'll get moving shortly thereafter. I am expecting high initial heat and soft sand - so set tyres and driving style accordingly! We will move east progressively from the meeting point, and we will have a mixture of rolling open dunes and tighter technical sections, as well as the salt rock area (which looks completely different from our usual desert drives). We will also pass the Nagrah dune, which if it's not too churned up or busy with dune bashers, we will move through as well. Goal will be to complete comfortably before sunset at a point on the E95. Meet point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kDSLAmPqVzPwLTJB9?g_st=ic

Congrats @Diego - great to see you come through and now start to help our members! Nice to see Freddy included a picture of the first car you supported on a drive... 😉

A warm and hearthy congratulations to @Thomas54675 for making it to our Member in the spotlight this week! Apart from sharing fantastic photos on our media gallery, you've become a staple on most of our drives over the last couple of months and your enthusiasm shines bright! Keep it up !

Congratulations @Ana for being our member in the spotlight for this week! Close to having done 30 drives with us, we always enjoy your presence on our drives and hope for many more to come!

Dear Desertnauts. A very short and quick briefing for tomorrow's drive. We aim to spend 2 hours driving at good pace (say as close as possible to 30 Km/h. moving speed), equally divided between the clean dunes of south Lisaili and the secret dunes of Qudra. We'll take a couple of breaks, and will hopefully enjoy a nice sunset hour, close to the lakes and the herds of gazzelles that usually sprint out of the woods at this time of the day. The convoy order at the moment will be the following: @Andrew John Melvill in Second Lead @Rajath Shetty at #3 @Yerem Davtyan at #4 @Warbs at #5 @Chema at #6 @Steffi at #7 @Giacomo at Center @Ana at #9 @saumik1989 at #10 @Thomas54675 at #11 @khurram at #12 and @Piter at #13 and @J-P L in Sweep. See you tomorrow in mid-afternoon to enjoy the golden hours on golden sand.

Thank you so much guys !!! I love our little community and enjoy being in the sand . I thank to the amazing team of leads and support team for everything I leaned so far and keep learning each time , and thank you fellow drivers for beautiful memories. I will see some of you on the dunes this Sunday

Dear all - See you in 11 hours ! :), Convoy order as below : ) @Frederic, @Mountain @Rajath Shetty @J-P L @Kirill K @Hartzel @saumik1989 @ChrisW@Thomas54675 @JC_E @khurramm @Deepak Eswar

Dear Desertnauts. Before the short briefing for tomorrow drive, I have just added the meeting and deflation point on the drive's post. We will meet and deflate here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MR8j8TtNwyhKbRLe9 Consider arriving a little before the scheduled time, so we can deflate before getting ready to go. A thorough briefing about off-roading notions (mechanical needs, different terrains, driving skills, warnings, convoy discipline, etc.) will be given before leaving. We'll find some shaded area to conduct it. Please make sure you bring a fully charged radio to the drive. There may not ba any spare radios available, and without a fully functioning radio no members will be permitted to drive, for safety reasons. In spite of the vegetation that has grown abundant in this and other areas of the UAE, we'll do our best to find, and drive on, the cleanest possible dunes, so that all the necessary off-roading skills may be safely taught and practiced. The convoy order at the moment is the following: @Ana in Second Lead @Jakob T at #3 @Lvc at #4 @Artur Davtyan at #4 @J-P L at Center @Oussama at #6 @Kishor at #7 @Asif Ahamed at #8 and @khurram in Sweep. Enjoy your Friday evening, and see you tomorrow.

Good morning all, @Emanuel, @khurramm, @Infaz, @Ash S., @Jose Luis Campos, @Cristian & @Mahesh_.. Thank you for signing up for this drive and hope you're having a good week. TGIF!! I will be posting the convoy order later today and look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Please stay tuned!

At 15:30, under conditions that most sensible human beings would describe as completely inappropriate for outdoor activity, thirteen brave souls gathered once again at the edge of the desert. The temperature was somewhere between “unpleasant” and “surface of Mercury”. There was no morning breeze. No golden sunrise. No gentle introduction. Just heat. A lot of heat. Leading the expedition was Ale, with JP riding second in command. Giacomo held the centre of the convoy, while Yarem took the noble responsibility of sweeping from the rear, making sure that no man, woman, vehicle or miscellaneous bumper was abandoned to the desert. Before departure, we managed to locate what could very generously be described as a tree. It was small. Very small. Nevertheless, thirteen grown adults immediately gathered underneath it, desperately negotiating for approximately four square metres of shade. There, beneath our heroic shrub, Ale began the briefing. And then he produced… a tiny toy car. With the seriousness of a military commander planning the Normandy landings, he used this miniature vehicle to demonstrate cresting and recovery techniques. Considering the temperature, I spent most of the briefing wondering whether the little car would survive the explanation, melt into the sand, or simply turn into a fried egg. Against all odds, it survived. And so did we. Then came the dunes. Crests. More crests. Side dune riding. More side dune riding. And, naturally, a healthy number of stucks. The desert appeared particularly affectionate today, repeatedly embracing members of the convoy from underneath and refusing to let go. Radios came alive. “Stuck.” “Second refusal.” “Need recovery.” “Copy.” At certain moments it felt less like an off-road drive and more like a very organised excavation project. Then the sky changed. What had already been an intense afternoon suddenly became something far more dramatic. A sandstorm swept across the desert. Within minutes, everything turned brown. The sky was brown. The dunes were brown. The cars were brown. Probably we were brown too. Visibility dropped dramatically and following the vehicle ahead became an exercise in faith, concentration and desperately staring at two faint red lights disappearing into a wall of dust. For a few moments, the desert completely swallowed the convoy. And naturally, because timing is everything, this was precisely when one vehicle decided to get properly stuck. Out came the shovels. In the middle of the sandstorm, several of us began digging sand from underneath the belly of a very black vehicle. We dug. And dug. And dug some more. The sand kept coming back. The wind kept blowing. Visibility remained terrible. And throughout this heroic collective effort, the driver of the aforementioned very black vehicle remained comfortably inside. Presumably supervising. Possibly adjusting the air conditioning. Perhaps selecting music. History may never know. Eventually, man, machine and shovel defeated the desert once again and the convoy continued. By the end of the afternoon, we had experienced extreme heat, crests, side slopes, recoveries, digging, almost nonexistent shade and a spectacular sandstorm. In other words: A perfectly normal Carnity drive. Ale led us safely through the chaos, JP supported from the front, Giacomo kept the middle together, Yarem swept behind us, and thirteen overheated humans somehow emerged from the desert still smiling. The little toy car survived. The black vehicle survived. We survived. And somewhere out there, one tiny tree is probably still recovering from having thirteen people underneath it. Until the next expedition.

Good Afternoon @Emanuel, @Sandeep Padhi, @Enrico - Mountain, @Ana, @Mahesh_, @Rajath Shetty, @Hartzel, @saumik1989 and @J-P L Thanks all for signing up for the drive tomorrow morning! We will be starting at the 2nd Dec Cafe meeting point for 06h00 aiming to be fully deflated and flags up for the briefing at 06h15. There are some nice relatively clean dunes close to the meeting point, once done with those we will proceed through to Pink Rock, Little Red and Big Red. Aiming to be out around 09h00 and/or before it gets over 40 degrees, keeping it short and sharp! It will be HOT tomorrow so please ensure that you check your cars today, especially coolant levels. Please bring plenty of fluids for yourselves and any passengers. The proposed convoy order is as follows:

Last night, I had this feeling that I should check in on Ishak, my Carnity Bro from Indo. He replied, "I just landed after a three-week vacation." Talk about a Carnity telepathic connection. 😄 What I love about the club is that it gives you a genuine sense of belonging without being over demanding or full of rules. Just keep your rig in good shape and your recovery gear ready—which is pretty much the minimum if you enjoy off-roading. Don’t be an A..hole. Again, super basic. I honestly think that's why Carnity has such a strong appeal for me. I'm really glad I joined and yes, I made many new Friends. And, I must admit —I’m addicted, like all of us 😄 @Frederic you are the best!

Thank you, @ChrisW! Today’s drive was amazing! Thank you support team! @Mahesh_ @Jose Luis Campos @Sam Selim @DP1011 Now waiting for part 3! Sharing a few pictures from today’s drive!

Good afternoon @JC_E@Maneesh Madayan@baris@Jakob T@Glenn W@Shane Phillips@DELRIO@Artur Davtyan@Anish S@Esteban Ayala@Sandeep Padhi@Vanessa8580 Thank you all for signing up! This will be a gentle beginner level drive with the aim of getting comfortable of driving in the dunes and with the great support that signed up this means we will be by your side every step of the way. Some pointers for tomorrow: 1. Please try to arrive by 5.45AM. Then you have enough time to deflate your tires (14psi if HT tires, 12psi if AT tires) and set up your flag. Latecomers will be sent back. 2. If this is your very first drive, please watch the newbie briefing video attached in this drive topic. This way you'll be ahead of the curve even before starting 3. Feel free to bring passengers but make sure everyone is always strapped in during the drive. No exceptions. 4. We will be using Channel 10 on the walkie talkies: 446.231 Mhz. We will test each radio before heading out. If you struggle how to program it, you can just put the radio in VFO mode and enter this frequency. If you do not have a radio yet we will carry a spare you can lend for your first drive. No doubt it will be a fun morning out. Bring enough to drink and some protection from the sun. See you soon!

@Ash S. @Piter @Infaz @Noufal @Wayne Momsen @Glenn W @Carl Stanley @Gertjan @Krinesh @Giacomo Evening guys, hope you have had a good week, below is the drive order, really looking forward to getting out and having a bash in the sand, obviously extremely hot so bring extra water and shade/hat were be on channel 4 My number 0528763370 if you need it, Lets have some summer fun see you at 6:50AM ready to go

Congratulations @Abdullah A. for making it into our member of the week spotlight! Perhaps very few people know that you joined Carnity in 2011! That makes you one of the oldest members on the forum! Well done! See you soon in the sand! PS Please share a photo here of your Pajero! It's hard to find one in the gallery

Thank you @ChrisW for organizing and leading this trip. @Ale Vallecchi and @Zsolt for your excellent support. It was great fun today 😎. Link to video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Da_Daseog6b/?igsh=djFjb3phYmY4MHQ= Have a good week, all!

Thank you @Andrew John Melvill for a great first lead drive today, for all the support team, and everyone that joined in today. Thank you to those who got shovels out to assist me with my 'beached wale' refusal and to @M.Seidam for parting recovery wisdom in such situations. The take-aways were: 1) Which direction to move? Determine the vehicle's centre of gravity in relation to the ridge line to help decide whether to go forward or backward. On long wheelbase vehicles like the ford ranger, the centre of gravity is forward from the vehicle mid-point, around the front door handles. 2) How to dig? Remove sand from the vehicle's centre line to form a V-shape under the chassis towards the wheels. Do not dig under the wheels as that will make them sink in more. 3) When to stop digging? The goal is to free the chassis and a good way to tell is by looking if you can see through from one side to the other (front-back). Hope to see everyone again soon.

Thanks @ChrisW for the drive, happy to finally see you leading a drive, especially in Salamat 👍👏👏 Always good to catch up with old friends, Carnity is the safest convoy to test drive new cars. Once again, you saved me, this time with 3 zip ties 😂 Looking forward to drive with @Andrew John Melvill next time ✌️

Thank you for a great drive @ChrisW and everyone that was there. I had a blast and learned loads. Couldn’t have asked for a better group for my first foray into Salamat.

Hey guys - many thanks again, I had a lot of fun going out with you all this morning. It was a varied drive, starting with some surprisingly clean and fun to drive on sands around Old Lady Dune, before a much less comfortable trip across the technical dunes to go past the airport and into Salamat itself. Following our short break we moved through the Oasis Half Bowl, 360 Bowl, Al Yarhar Bowl and finally the Egg Bowl, before using the last 20 minutes to just enjoy the slopes. Thank you to @Asif Hussain and @Andrew John Melvill for your support, and it was great to see @Diego, @Krinesh and @Zed at the back with the trucks! Finally well done @Danie, you stepped up well today and did your first drive in Salamat nicely. I was a little late in starting the track recorder, so the numbers below are actually a bit more like 3 hours driving and 65 km distance covered. Raw clips from the Insta 360: Short AI compilation of today's drive: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-KlWTzpnDOU

Such fun and challenging drive that was today guys, I really enjoyed and absolutely learnt a lot from it. Hope you all did! Thank you all for arriving on time this morning, we started at 06:45am which it was perfect 👌🏻 Special thanks to @Emanuel for coming out today with the 2nd lead duties and keeping an eye on me. @Infaz, you done really well today dealing with so many steps that are really challenging for an extra LWB! @Carl Stanley & @Ash S., it's always a pleasure seeing and driving with you guys. Keep up the good work and looking after those 2 beasts! Amazing support from @Mahesh_ & @Jose Luis Campos, you guys done a great work today. Thanks you so much. Also @Mahesh_, many thanks to your passenger with his photography skills/passion, I look forward to seeing them all. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you again soon!

Well driven today guys! Fantastic support from @Giacomo, @Glenn W and @nithish468in the sweep! @Pierre-andre Nutte@Nagarjun S As we spoke, some good pressure gauge and valve core removal tool: Digital Pressure Gauge: https://amzn.eu/d/0fewjckb Valve core removal tool:https://amzn.eu/d/02tRDbkT Thanks to @Jose Luis Campos who first tested this pressure gauge. It's also my favorite now. @Pierre-andre Nutte On the Pajero, a rear skidplate will be needed to keep that rear bumper intact. @Andrew John Melvill@Ishak@Emanuel@Jose Luis Campos where did you get yours fitted? It's fine to mention the shop in this case. This is often combined with the bashplate in the front as well, let me know if you did both at the same shop. A flag bracket will also be needed, now that he has the flag pole Thanks everyone!

In true @Ale Vallecchi style: Hello Desertnauts, @Warbs, @Chema, @Diego, @saumik1989, @ChrisW, @Steffi, @Sebastian Nohse, @Eddie-Dune-Glider, @Piter & @Krinesh, Thank you for signing up on this drive and hope you're all having a nice weekend!

If you have any changes of plan from this point onward, please reply here in the forum. Many thanks!

Hi Ana, indeed it's always a good time when you're part of the crowd 😁

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful morning out on the ridges. @DP1011 thank you for guiding us over the ridges and for @J-P L who directed me out of sticky spots. We were able to capture @JC_E on his majestic perch, with the troop to the rescue. Today was really good for me to learn my vehicle's capabilities on the ridges, and understanding how the new skid plate set affects my movements. Cheers!

everyone! 👋 I’m Leroy, and this is my very first desert drive with Carnity. Super excited to join the community and start my off-roading journey! 😊 I’m a complete newbie, so I’ll be learning from all of you and looking forward to picking up as much knowledge as I can. Can’t wait to meet everyone tomorrow! Quick question: I don’t have tire deflators or any off-road accessories yet. Any suggestions on where I can buy the basic essentials before tomorrow’s drive? Can’t wait to start. Yay,,,,!!

Getting my car sorted for driving again. 💪💪💪 I'll be back in the sand as soon as I can. @Abdullah A.

hey @_luke_, we're really missing you and your great drive, when are you coming back to action?

Hey guys - had a great drive with you all this afternoon, thank you! A prompt arrival of everyone in good time saw us get started a little ahead of the 3.30 planned start and we made good pace across Al Hayer initially. This area was packed with wildlife, including camels, gazelle, and a very large vulture. It was also stunningly hot at 46 celsius, and some very soft sands around We soon pushed on across the E95 and into the Sweihan area. The terrain changed - less vegetation, larger dunes and increasing levels of technical difficulty. We kept the pace, mixing time in the dunes with time to recover on the sabkhas. A final push on some flowing dunes and we finished the drive. There was a good level of comms and focus throughout the drive; with minimal refusals and no stucks. Good work all and thank you @Ale Vallecchi for supporting.

Thanks a lot @Andrew John Melvill for today’s morning lovely drive . I was impressed with your local navigation just like a pro. Very well done thanks to every one who joined and shared the passion today despite the hot summer . and for the team work during recovering @Mountain from his “ royal crest “ position 😊 I am so glad that every one got something today back home along with the big smiles and satisfaction. see you around and take care Seidam

Thanks for the gpx file Doc, here is the route we drove today.

Thanks all for joining me today! We did exactly.as I had planned with a good mix of terrain and dune types along with some sand and gravel tracks. Had the right amount of stucks and refusals to provide learning experiences to all but not slow us down. As the heat built up we took a nice flowing drive towards the exit. A big thanks to @M.Seidam as my 2nd lead and mentor today! As well as @nithish468 and @Abdullah A. is centre forward and sweep, could not have down without you. Lastly, in my haste to check my map and route this morning I forgot to record the track. If anyone did record it could you please send it to me. Cheers and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Good afternoon, hope your Saturday is going well! @M.Seidam, @Mountain, @Rajath Shetty, @saumik1989, @nithish468, @Noufal, @khurramm and @Abdullah A. Thanks for joining the drive, meeting time is 06h00 with a briefing at 06h15. The drive plan is to follow where the dunes take us as we head towards the 3 trees in an exploration style. Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. As the weather is very uncomfortable at the moment, please ensure that your cars fluids and systems are all checked, and that you bring plenty of fluids for yourself and any passengers. Convoy order is below:

@Infaz @Gertjan @Andrei S @Danie @Zsolt @Giacomo Evening guys, convoy list below, great looking convoy, fun fun fun! its going to be plenty hot so bring extra water etc keep an eye on those gauges tomorrow. Get some rest and see you in the morning, channel 4 0528763370 if you need me for anything Lets GO!!

Dear @Warbs @Chema @Hani crest king @_Piotr_ @Danie @Zsolt - I had a quick chat with @Ale Vallecchi earlier about Sunday afternoon's drive and we've decided to modify the plan slightly, such that we're driving into the direction of the sun (and so the shadows are more easily visible to us as we drive across the sand), i.e. we need to flip to driving from the east to the west. Please note we will now plan to start at what I had originally planned as the exit point - I have updated the links in the post - our start point will be here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/G6XcZkrA1NTyhbkK8 We will set ourselves the goal of exiting towards Sweihan - so some fun dunes towards the end of the drive! Grateful if you can all double check. No need to post a reply, either leave your RSVP in or remove yourself if you can't make it. Thanks!

i am happy to announce that @Sam Selim will now lead this drive!

Thank you everyone for a lovely drive this morning! Luckily it was not that hot out today which gave us time for some great cardiovascular digging excersises to keep our hearts strong. Shovels and smiles all round!

RSVP NOW CLOSED Dear @Asif Hussain @Danie @Andrew John Melvill @Krinesh @Diego - looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow morning. The drive order is as below, and we will use Channel 3 (446.056-25). We will meet at the point as advertised before: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EyhEGuc87TSvU23o6 We should aim to meet from 05.30 and be rolling no later than 6am, ideally earlier than this given we are a small and experienced convoy. The plan will be to move across to the Old Lady Dune, explore the slopes there as a gentle warm up, then drive cross country heading south between Al Saad and the airport before reaching Salamat from the north side. Our mission in Salamat will be to visit a number of the bowls - nothing crazy in view of the temperatures and soft sands, but a chance to stretch our right foot and practice our skills at pace. We will take regular breaks for our cars and ourselves (!), and aim to complete by circa 09.00.

Hi all @Emanuel, @Mahesh_, @khurramm, @Infaz, @Cristian, @Carl Stanley, @Ash S. & @Jose Luis Campos, please find the convoy order below. The plan is to start the briefing at 06:30 am so please arrive as early as you need to deflate and prep etc. We will be using channel 4 (446.081). Please get enough rest and bring an extra bottle of water for yourself as you will need it. See you all in the morning Inshallah!

Good afternoon everyone! @Rajath Shetty@Pierre-andre Nutte@Nagarjun S@Giacomo@Asif Ahamed@Kishor@Mountain@Glenn W@Avilash@Raptor Runner - Praveen@Chris Meir@nithish468 Please find your convoy positions for tomorrow posted here above. Some pointers for tomorrow: 1. Please try to be at the meeting point by 5.45AM, so you have time to deflate and set up your flag. If you need any assistance, feel free to reach out to any of us. 2. We will be using Channel 10 on the walkie talkie: 446.231Mhz. We will test all radios before starting the drive. If you were not able to get a radio yet, we can lend you one for tomorrow if it's your first drive with us. 3. Please bring adequate protection from the sun (baseball cap or hat) and enough water to drink. See you all in the morning!

Yo!! Behold,, We got Shakespeare in carnity

Jakob · Mitsubishi Pajero Grey 2015. · previous experience - just tried the 4WD in sand few times ( got stuck once and self-recovered .. thanks to youtubers 😊 ) · has front and rear tow hooks/eyelets. · got a programmable radio and safety flag.
