DRIVE DESCRIPTION Nestled in the heart of Dubai’s desert, Al Qudra offers a perfect mix of terrain for an exciting offroad adventure. We’ll kick off with wide a short sabkha drive and enter our first technical section with sharp climbs and descents to test your control, and then onwards to flowing dunes that allow for smooth cruising. Expect a dynamic route with plenty of opportunities to practice side-sloping and ridge riding, all while maintaining a steady, enjoyable pace.

Thank you. Note that there are 2 Emanuel's in our club. One with 2 M's and me with 1 M.

Here is our track and stats. The elevation profile illustrates the fun we had in the first third and later thirds of the drive. A very respectable drive covering nearly 54 kms.

Here is the Relive video. @Rob S you'll see your 100th drive photos in here too! Please smash the Like button.

Thank you, everyone, for an amazing drive yesterday! You all arrived on time and came fully prepared for a fun-filled morning in the dunes. A special shout-out to @Rob S, who celebrated his 100th drive with our club—what an incredible milestone! This achievement reflects countless learnings, recoveries, and moments of helping others along the way. Overall, the drive went smoothly with very few issues. The most notable challenge was when @Ash S. slid off a ridge and got properly stuck. Rob led the recovery brilliantly: we secured the front of Ash’s car with a strap, then carefully freed the rear, allowing for a graceful exit. Great teamwork all around! The route was a mix of terrains. We started along the camel race track toward our entry point in North Lisali, then navigated through technical patches to reach our fun zones. These included side-sloping and ridge-riding dunes of low to medium height, culminating in Murquab, where the taller dunes gave our Fewbie and Intermediate level drivers a chance to play before heading to the exit. A big thank you to @Mahesh_ and @Rob S for holding the Center Forward positions, @Theo Prado for Second Lead, and @Gertjan for Sweep. It was a pleasure meeting @Theo Prado, @Ash S., and @Thomas54675 for the first time. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and see you all on the next adventure!

@Theo Prado @Ash S. @Thomas54675 @Soap @Mahesh_ @Herman G @Dinesh Kumar A @Deepak Eswar @Rob S @Abhishek Chikara @Hugo @Gertjan The convoy will line up is as follows: We will use Carnity Channel 4, which is 446.081. Get lots of rest and see you in the morning.

Good afternoon everyone! Hope you are excited for our drive tomorrow morning. Please let me know if your circumstances have changed and you cannot join the drive. I will be posting the convoy order in the next few hours.

Hi @Frederic - congrats on lead #200 tomorrow! Amazing achievement and so much of a valuable leader in our community. @Herman G if you still want to join the FB drive tomorrow morning instead of the NB drive, you'll have withdraw your RSVP from Freddie's drive and join the Waitlist on my drive. There is no one on it now so I can increase the drivers to 11 and let you in. This will give a Newbie a drive in the morning as Freddie still has people on the Waitlist.

See you next time

Hi @Herman G, yes this makes sense. Let's see how things look tomorrow and I'll make a call on it. @Warbs did you get your mechanical issue sorted?

Welcome to the Carnity offroad club @Noufal. This drive is for Fewbie level experienced offroad drivers and above. I will be removing you from this wait list. You may sign up to Fred's Newbie drive on Saturday morning in RAK. You'll be added to the wait list because it is full; however, he is trying to organise another marshal to lead part of the convoy so everyone can join.

@Mahesh_ I'm moving you into Manage as Support Team. Welcome to the drive.

@Myrko our thoughts will be with you and your family. Hope all will work out.

It's early in the week. Life happens. One or two might drop and others still might join. I might also adjust the length on Friday to allow one or two from waitlist onto it. Another thing sometimes happens is we get another lead to lead half of the drive allowing everyone to join that drive. Let's see.

Congratulations @Asif Hussain!

Mabrook @M.Seidam! Thanks for all your guidance and support, very much appreciated. One day the stars will line up for me to join you on a night drive. See you soon and all the best on your well-deserved promotion.
