Im very well INN.
 

looking forward to see you all.

sorry for late comments.

that was an awesome journey at the last spot (curtesy @RahimdadBhai) we actually saw Sir Baniyas Island, the mountains looks like old jurassic park movie😎. 

it's a beautiful spot with the ocean both side. mouth watering idly and a magical drink by Rahim Bhai. At the last we can never gonna forget A Shisha with Kiwi & ATF flavor. well it's a long story behind ATF flaovor 😂😂. we can share this story on next drive with other Carnity members. 

Thank you all to support me specially @GauravBhai for pulling out my Accord from sand with his skills.

Love the idea and we'll done Basit for a fantastic homework. I would have loved to join, but both Thursday and Friday is out of the question for me. I could join if it was on Saturday as we have some off days for Eid.

Dear @RahimdadBhai, as per my discussion with @GauravBhai. we are planning on saturday only. 

Guyz..
very last update is, its an open place and no authority/restriction were involved to to reach the final point.
i was planning to see the area by my self yesterday, but stuck on some office jobs. though the guy who visited there is on Hajj now, and I'm expecting to receive some picture from him to get an idea, whether its a worth trip or not.

I will be very glad if anyone have an idea to make this trip happen. we can also reschedule this trip as per Carnity members suggestions. 

As per @GauravBhai, mercury will be high on day light at that place because its a coastal line, as well as humidity might be on its peak. so the evening drive have some +edge as compare to day light.  

Awaiting feedback or any alternative plans.

Dear all CARNITY members,

It is my very first time to showcase a unique road trip on western coast line of United Arab Emirates toward Tarif on Ghuwaifat national highway. I got this idea to introduce this trip on Carnity when some of my colleagues randomly explore the location.

Description: its 2 hr 43 min drive, 265 KM from Jebel Ali as per below map. (Area - Qareen Al Aish).My colleagues have spotted numbers of turtles, sea snakes, octopus, crabs, water dams, Mangroves, different type of beaches, Palm tree farms and my more. Its actually a man made island as per (Image 2) and only a tiny road is linked to the final spot at the end.  

Draw Back: There is no street lights on internal roads, so the best time to experience this place is in a day light.

Level of Drive: All types of vehicles can reach to the final spot, also there is few white sand beaches where only 4X4 can go through.

There is plenty of spot where we can clicks some mesmerizing pictures for our Carnity group and keep our photo gallery healthy enough.  Before joining Carnity i have explore many places by my own to the south west side of UAE, but i have never explore to the coast line. 

According to me, I think we should explore this area in a big numbers group to create an another milestone trip for Carnity. I will keep my research on about this particular place until we finalize to plan this trip. Your comments and feedback will be highly appreciated.

I'm In 😎😎

Thanks to all fantabulas drivers specially @GauravBhai and the desert king @RahimdadBhai for great desert experience. unfortunately i didn't drove but you guyz will notice my skills once you see me bashing with the dune on my 4X4 soon. there was some points we got furstrated but we didn't lose our team enthusiasm to help each others. Great team effort guys and will love to see you soon InshaAllah. 

Guyz, I'm driving Accord from last 6 years, i got some small small issues but i fixed it in time, thats actually the requirement of any vehicle that you driving. 
If you make a rapid turn specially in Accord then don't press sudden breaks, just release the accelerator otherwise if you hit breaks then its a chance that your Accord may skird and loose control in no time.

@Rahimdad Bhai thank you for adding me at this great Water venture program, will see you at meeting point. InshaAllah

Dear friends,

We are blessed to have new routes and challenges every week and the satisfaction of sitting and sharing a meal/snacks/drinks together and laughing over a few jokes or discussing the experience of the drive. Continuing that same spirit I am pleased to announce a secret route which not many people know off, this will include some desert driving which can be managed by all levels. The real secret lies in the route which will lead us to a ghost town through which we can approach our climb on the mountain where a path has been laid just for the known few. The promise when we reach on top is that you will find the climate there at least 4 to 5 degree lower than the temperature on ground level, so if it is 30 degrees down than on top it will be around 25 or 26 degree which is just beautiful. This is a flat, kind of table top surface on which we can lay and enjoy our spread for a few chats and laughs, plus for those shutterbugs there is plenty of beautiful scenes to shoot as well, and if we can adhere to the timings we can get shots both at sunset and by night.

The beauty of this track is there are several exits, so anybody who would like to do the sand bit alone can do so and head out within 5 minutes to the closest road.

If interested please sign up for this once in a year opportunity.

Friday evening drive:

Date: 07 April, 2017

Meeting point : Adnoc Petrol Station Maleha Road (https://goo.gl/maps/mzb26kxzte72)

Meeting time : 15:30 PM - 9:00 PM

Plan: Lets drive from the petrol station through the silk route to the ghost town and up on top of the mountain to enjoy some cool weather.

Basic recovery equipment such as 2 way radio, flag and air compressor are very important and carry lots of water and some snacks to share on top. Absolute compulsory to bring your stories, sense of humor and willingness to learn and follow instructions during the drive.
