Absolute Newbie Drive - Kalba - 28 October

[Rahimdad]

Dear All,

I will be joining Emarat 4x4 for an early morning Absolute Newbie Drive in the desert in Kalba/Maliha Area. The meeting point is the Adnoc pump on the Sharjah to Kalba highway at 6 am.

As the name suggests its for anyone who has never been to the desert and would like to experience and learn more about off-roading, this is not going to be challenging or a fast paced drive.

So anybody interested is most welcome to join me, my mobile number is 050 674 9099

If you are not too busy in afternoon or evening, lets have a small spin? Morning and that too 6 am on Friday is punishing man. 3-4 PM weather is not bad now for quiet and relaxed drive. what say?

[Rahimdad]

Insha Allah next time Gaurav Bhai as I have some commitments with the family on this Friday afternoon, we will make it next week Insha Allah.

Hello brother. I would like to experience a desert drive. I have never been to a desert. 

[Rahimdad]

Most welcome, do you have a license yet? What about a car?

Call me on my mobile and we can discuss this.

Definitely i will call you in the break time. I dont have a GCC license yet as you know. I just want to know if i can accompany you as a pillion rider. I would be able to get the beginner lessons as well.

Thanks @Rahimdad for posting this fantastic early morning drive and special thanks to @manums for taking these beautiful pics and for riding with me. Hope I have not bored you much from off-road "theory" session.

SUPER THANKS to everyone at Emarat4x4 for this nice drive. It was awesome to meet old friends and lovely company, that I missed a lot in last 2 year gap. Thanks Qaisar saab, Sikandar, Moosa, Adnan, Suhail, Farid, Khalid, Amir, Zafar and all the lovely people.

Drive started at 6:15 (sharp) - good job guys, and we were around 30 cars and decided to split into 3 convoys - 2 newbies and 1 fewbies. Due to some seismic work from Sharjah oil company in maliha area, we all drove almost newbie level till 9 AM. After that few split for fast-action drive to steal the whole breakfast, lol (yes it's for you rahim bhai). All in all it was good newbie trip and I'm sure lot of newbie has gone back home with lot of learning lesson today. Encountered few hickups, refusal and other minor issues but all the crew and marshals managed it very well. In the end, all groups meet again for lovely breakfast from rahimdad.

Let the pictures tell the rest...!
