"Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much" - Helen Keller From seeing everyone trickling in from the big entry point in Faqa, to the views of the massive convoy stretched out across 2300m of desert, and eventually all coming together near the Crescent Moon Lake and being able to form this human circle was an experience i will never forget. We take a lot of things for granted, but pulling this off without even breaking a sweat tells a lot about what Carnity has created, where people can drive together, but most of all where we are all part of one big desert family. However all of us are deeply affected by what has happened, i hoped to see smiles today and people bonding, and that's exactly what happened. This is what our Gaurav would have wanted and this is how we will move forward with the club. A massive thanks to the friends who left Carnity sometime back but showed their respects by coming today and joining the circle. Events like this puts everything in perspective, and all of you have contributed so much to the club over the years. Thank you for being there! We would have never been able to do this without the entire Team Carnity group's support that was spread out across the convoy. Thank you all so much!! From this point on we will organize a yearly tribute drive. To honor Gaurav and to keep him in our thoughts. He will be our beacon for all things to come. See you all very soon in the sand again!❤️

I’m sorry to hear that my friend. Please get well soon and wish us the best on our little adventure 😉

Good morning everyone! Some last pointers for tomorrow's drive: 1. Please be on time. The convoy will leave at 6.30AM exactly. Deflating to 15psi is perfectly fine. 2. Bring your radio, compressor, pressure gauge and deflator. We will use Channel 10: 446.231Mhz 3. Upon our arrival at crescent moon lake we will try to park the cars in a square grid. One of our supporting team members will guide the vehicles once you pass through the white finish poles 4. After forming a human circle and the one-minute silence (radios off please), you can inflate at the same location and make your way to the exit track that leads to Bab Al Shams resort. Many cars will head over there so if you are not sure just follow the other vehicles. 5. There will be a memorial book at the meeting point and also at the exit point. It would be great if everyone makes a small write-up or message. For the family this will be a very appreciated token. See you all tomorrow morning!

Good morning @Adnan r and welcome to Carnity Offroad Club! I just wanted to check in to see if you have any off-roading experience, if so please let me know, because due to the large convoy size we will only be accepting members that have at least some experience (this is not a typical club desert drive). Also please ensure front are rear towpoints are in place. Thanks!
