What better way than to spend your NYE evening together with your Carnity Buddies and enjoy the Fireworks across Dubai ? Sit back, relax, and bring your snacks, BBQ, drinks, and share your stories and experiences of the past year with us. Feel free to bring your friends, families and kids with their age-specific toys or games to enjoy brilliant outdoor activities. Please bring your own: Food / Grill / Cooking and serving arrangements Drinks and Ice (of course). Chairs / Mats / Camping Gear if you want to camp overnight. Action Plan: At 7:30 PM we will have Carnity Seniors to meet and greet you at the meeting point next to the DEWA station and guide you towards the actual location where we will setup the party tents which is only 5min away. At 8 PM SHARP they will leave this meeting point and bring everyone inside the desert. Meeting Point: https://goo.gl/maps/gNvfP7mYXS72GezQ6 Bring your Walkie Talkie and tune in to Channel 1: 446.006 for communication with Marshals and Carnity senior members. At any time you are planning to leave, you can approach any of Crew or Marshals verbally or over the radio and we can guide you back to the road. Camping: you are totally free to bring your tent and camping gear, but please inform us in advance if you are planning to stay overnight. Bring sleeping bags/extra blankets as it gets pretty cold at night. Fireworks: We will be expecting to have a decent view on the Townsquare Fireworks at midnight, and if there is a clear sky we will see the ones at Marina and Global Village as well. COVID19: We expect all of you to be aware of the current COVID19 rules and abide by them as per the government regulations. No littering: Please leave nothing but footsteps behind in the desert. Keep it clean. Bring plenty of garbage bags. BBQ: Bring your own BBQ, no direct fire allowed on the sand. Bonfire: We will arrange a big bonfire in a suitable firepit. Please RSVP on below calendar

@Azeem M @Rob Soughton @Mikhail Lukichev@Omar ElGamal@Muhammad Qasim @Markus B @Joseph Raju@Stav@Tom V@Quresh Motiwala@Senthil Kumar@Tareq Al Turq @varunmehndiratta Waitlisted Attendees Pierre de Maigret @Pierre de Maigret KKIRAN @KKIRAN Thanks for signing up and waitlisting for this drive. I wanted to clarify a little bit more about the drive coming Friday and give you some extra hints and tips. * We will be starting off with gentle sand driving, so as you arrive you can deflate to 14-15psi as you would usually do. * We will be going on-road as well to cross some small villages. You can keep the same tyre pressure for that. * A big part will be on dirt tracks and farm roads, and smaller parts in the dunes as well. This allows us to cover this much distance without too much struggle. * The last part will be a rocky but easy mountain trail. We will inflate to 20PSI for All Terrain tyres, and 25PSI for Highway tyres for that. We will be exiting a few kilometers north of Masafi, in a little town called Asimah. This town has a cactus farm and also a Flower Farm which i heard is worth-wile seeing. It is only 300m away from our exit point. I am not sure about opening hours, so i leave it entirely up to yourselves to go and check it out if you are interested. UAE Flower Farm: How 30,000 blooms grew in Fujairah's Wadi Asimah (thenationalnews.com) Cactus Farm: https://goo.gl/maps/W8J3JDMEjnNB48yv6 Flower Farm: https://goo.gl/maps/d7zCoFz1mtjhGqhS7 Masafi town: Masafi town itself is also worth exploring, as it has nice restaurants, and the Masafi Friday Market is worth exploring as well. You will pass it by on your way back to Dubai or Sharjah: https://goo.gl/maps/RNbcJwRhZ6L3hk7T9 So i hope to see you all on Friday !

Thats the plan during winter months as the weather is pleasant throughout the day and we can get the family to join us,

Consider yourself lucky @Rob Soughtonwith owning one of the few 4x4 cars that are comfortable on road, yet very capable offroad as well, and with a Toyota badge the reliability and resale value are your extra gold coins. I agree with was has been said earlier, the skid plate is a good add-on, and perhaps later you can choose between trimming the bumper a bit or going for a 2" lift kit. Once the HT tyres are on their way out, you will definitely find improvement with AT tyres that will allow you to deflate further down and improve flotation.

No need for extra fuel. Yes indeed the first part is desert driving, and the last part is a gentle mountain trail.

Hi @Azeem M. Sure you can bring you family along. Around noon time we will be quite deep within the desert in RAK. So there will be a suitable lunch break but chances are very low that we will be nearby a mosque.

Hi @Markus B Yes you’ll be needing a flag for the first portion of the drive. Once we head into the mountain trails you’ll be able to remove it.

@Shaaz Sha has that one

Aaah the good old Dragon Mart run. 280 is a good price. I’m also a horrible negotiator.

Thanks for joining me this morning in the lovely dunes of Abu Dhabi. I was initially a bit disappointed with the amount of cross tracks the first half hour but as soon as we headed South it opened up and we had some good fun ! All of you did really well ! Thanks for the great second lead in John and the support from Mostafa ! @John Vanderbleek @Andrew McCarthy @Amro Aydin @Anna Dillon @Imran Kashif @Mohammed Yazir Thattarathil@takeshi sobue @Adnan Halepota@Melenany
