    Hello, I am interested in this drive however i see that the drive finish time is 2100 hours. I assume we will not be driving until 2100 hours? I only ask as i do not have any desert lights….
    Please excuse my ignorance and lack of knowledge of Ramadan. Thank you.

    Hello Woody,

    -The Actual drive will be short as its mostly to reach our designated spot.

    -Regarding the finish time, we will be a very short distance from the road, there will be a stream of traffic in and out of the area which you can join.

    -Also you wont really need offroad lights until you start joining night drives, headlights on high beams are enough for you to get out.

    -You could also leave before it gets completely dark.

    -Or you could follow other members on their way out whenever it suits you.

    i hope you find an option you like 😉

    All the best,
    Martin

    Hello DO. I am sorry to say I am now not going to be able to make it out for the Iftar drive. I am having a few mechanical problems.
    Have a great drive.
