Intermediate Sweihan drive series II highlights First of all thank you all for joining the night drive and thank you for being punctual on time . As you realised the night drive is different than the day light drive where the world is far clear on the other hand at night every thing is lit tight bounded by our headlights , senses are alert to max and focus is sharper than ever. I am glad to learn that you all enjoyed it feeling the dark side of the desert . couple of refusals and stucks were expected not excluding my self which gave us the opportunity to shovel and warm up as well as to look into situations from different directions and solve it safely . @waqar brilliant second lead keeping the proper distance and in due time was able to correct my slips especially when I got trapped in a deep 360 degree super soft tight bowl . @Nizar Shawwa first time we meet . What a pleasure . You drove like a walk in the night park . Very well done @nithish468 you realise that at day or night always the focus and sharpness are wanted and the night is just a bonus for extra. Well done 👍 @Marek when you told me it’s your first night drive it didn’t feel like that as you were surfing just like after sunrise . I loved the 4Runner glowing . Excellent . @christian no doubt that you drive very well but man you gave my heart a shock when you criss crossed that dune 😅 @Brett Eicher good to see you pal after a pretty long time . You watched our back brilliantly and thanks for the tug 🤞 till we meet in SDS III take care and wish you great weekend

Dear Friends to be fair for everyone. It’s an intermediate drive in the absolute dark and in the most notorious unpredictable terrain. You will need to be fully focused from the start till the end and the last thing you need any reason for distraction . However if you believe that your passenger is well accustomed and been in such environment especially in the dark and not known for motion sickness ( lights can induce motion sickness very easily with the maneuvers ) then please he or she is most welcome definitely.

Dear @Jessica Lambert no worries and thanks for understanding 🙏

Dear Sweihan explorers @waqar @Nizar Shawwa @nithish468 @Jessica Lambert @Marek @christian @Brett Eicher Please be on time 19:00 or bit earlier on at the meeting point so we can start on time and finish even ahead of time before the fog will be upon us . we will roll on channel 2 Check your lights and torches as well as your fuel tank full to the brim . Please check your gear and car and that all the junk behind is fixed and strapped . Please note that this is a no passenger drive for your own safety and them . The convoy order will be informed on site . the plan is to cross Sweihan from west to east and exit on Nahil side .

Hello @Sam Don UAE desert generally and Dubai specifically is full of nice places for camping and family gathering . One of these the famous Qudra lakes . regarding dune bashing and desert driving I highly advise you not to venture alone especially if you are new to this world . Instead you can join one of the newbie drives as first Newbie . Alternatively and if you wish you can have a 1:1 master class . ( you can find the details in the carnity website ) best of luck and enjoy
