Well it is a possibility, but I dont think it's based on luck but scientific testing. As covid cases are increasing, testing has become more stringent but definitely they will not ask to do PCR if DPI is negative as it is automated with no human interference.

Is this your first or second drive?. Please note there are places available in NB Khatim drive with @Asif Hussain at Abu Dhabi. Testing for DPI at Al Faya road in mornings is quick. But it's your call, as of today all NEwbie in Dubai are full and have a waitlist already.

We will be doing this drive in Lisaili which is quite a technical area with many small baby dunes which will sink you in. As you drive your skill levels and technique will be tested giving ample opportunities. We will try to learn and improvise on the right techniques for managing these small baby dunes which generally sink the best of drivers and break many a bumpers 🤣. Be prepared for your cars to stretch, bump, flex and stretch again just like when you do Yoga. Be prepared for yourself to get out when called for and shovel out of situations. Do not forget to put your masks and maintain distance. You will have some sand sprayed onto yourself and into your cars , dig yourselves into sand while shoveling. So come with proper clothing and footwear for the same reason. We will try to cover as much distance as we can, but we might not due to the conditions calling otherwise. See you all on Saturday, please come on time and be ready to burn some calories along with the petrol🤣

Not necessarily PCR. DPI test should do , but validity is 24 hours only. You can either do it Thursday evening or Friday morning in Al Faya road , where the counters are generally free early morning and it is very quick. Please go through the drive post above where complete details are mentioned about COVID pre requisites for entering Abu Dhabi/Al Ain

Congratulations @DANIEL NOGUEIRA. Well done

Congratulations @Gavin Hill

Cars you have shortlisted are good but remember once you start offroading regularly , family - unless your wife is off roading too will hate the sand you will carry back every week .Another issue being car heaviness if you want to do faster or extreme stuff once you progress in off roading. Nissans dont have crawl control modes , but you can do it manually.
