Great introduction @Rashid Alseeni ! Looking forward meeting you !

That's a nice looking Shorty !

DRIVE RSVP IS NOW CLOSED Please find the convoy list for tomorrow. We will be using Channel 2: 446.03125 Mhz Please make sure to bring your radio, shovel, compressor, offroad flag, and pressure gauge / deflator. For the ones joining us for the very first time we can lend you a radio for your first drive. A few notes to make things go a bit smoother: 1. When you arrive at the meeting point, park the cars a bit orderly next to each other. There is ample space but this area can be quite busy with farmer pickup trucks and camels on their way to the race track. Start deflating to 14psi if you have Highway HT tyres, or 12psi if you have All Terrain AT tyres. 2. Please be on time. In our club this usually means arriving 10-15 mins earlier than the mentioned meetup-time so you can deflate your tyres and get the flag installed. That way, by 7AM we would be ready to do the briefing. It might be a bit chilly so bring a sweater or jacket. 3. This drive is perfect to bring family or friends as passengers. We will be driving through the dunes, but we will also make use of existing farm tracks so we have time to relax and they can take some photos of the scenic terrain. We will take at least 2 breaks as well. 4. This drive is not a dune-bashing style drive. I have mentioned this clearly on the drive topic. 5. We will be exiting in Falaj Al Mualla, which is a quiet little town. Have a look around and perhaps try one of the little restaurants in the area. 6. The last petrol station is located here: https://goo.gl/maps/jL1UvZakWRjMDpZB9 See you all tomorrow!

Hi @Andrei S yes, as we do not have separate Absolute Newbie drives anymore, they are now part of the Newbie drives. You can indeed lend your car to another person, as long as that person is the one who makes a user profile and RSVP's on the drive. We also ask not to swap during the drive itself, as it would become impossible for us to keep track of the drives you have done. Long story short... we track the member itself and their progress in Carnity, not the vehicle.

Wikiloc is our trusty source for finding trails !

I've done Musandam somewhere in 2018 with Arabic speaking friends. We drove to Khasab port and took our camping gear with us and approached one of the fishermen. He took us to one of the beaches, around here somewhere: https://goo.gl/maps/JfKFSFp9bBhxjEtNA dropped us off, and came to pick us up a 9AM the next morning. We camped at the beach and for the first time ever i saw the phytoplankton in the ocean. It was unforgettable ! I was not able to take a photo but it looked like this:
