    COVID 19 PREVENTION MEASURES
    A. At the meeting point, please park the vehicles at least 5 metres apart and observe standard social distancing practices.
    B. Face mask and gloves to be worn at all times.
    C. No shaking hands, hugging or any other physical contact.
    C. Max 3 persons per vehicle, or 5 if from the same family staying in the same house.
    D. Drive briefing can be viewed on this page and communications on the day will be carried out by radio, so please ensure your radio carries the correct channel announced on your convoy’s WhatsApp group so you can line up correctly once at the meeting point, deflate your tyres are deflated and mount your flag.
    E. Drivers AND passengers should remain in their vehicles, after deflating their tyres and NOT meet or socialise with other participants.
    F. There is to be no sharing of any food or drinks.
    G. No sharing of any equipment, tow topes, shackles, radios or any other accessory.
    H. In the event of a recovery, please radio your position in the convoy and vehicle – a marshal will advise you on how to self recover or will assist.

    Checklist:
    a) Fully functional 4×4 vehicle with full tank of fuel.
    b) Air compressor in working condition.
    c) Recovery rope / strap.
    d) Compatible radio pre-programmed to DO frequencies.
    e) Refreshments for you and your passengers (if you have them).
    f) Offroad flag attached to vehicle.

    Etiquette:
    1) Registering and not coming along may stop others from joining and is easily avoidable – so please be courteous and withdraw if you can’t make it.
    2) Be punctual.
    3) Avoid bringing along unregistered participants without prior permission.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and prepare properly – see you on the sand!

    Hi,
    Is the offroad flag supper mandatory for this drive ?
    I will definitely install one, just not sure if I can make it before Friday.

    Hey, welcome to Dubai Offroaders. It allows the car the behind you to know where you are so it is an essential safety tool we utilize especially for newbie drives.

    You can easily get a mount in the next two days or even a suction cup one would do temporarily.

    However, if you’re unable to get it by Friday, we will manage but I strongly recommend you try to get it.

    Hi Guys, signed up for first drive, Toyota Fortuner v6 completely standard. I have all the gear … no idea 🙈

    I have compressor, deflator, snatch strap, soft shackles, flag, radio, shovel … apart from any idea of how to use it all … anything missing 😳

    Hi @PaulMK – sounds like you’re all set for a fun day out. Do you have a mount for your flag?

    Also, it’s a good idea to tune the frequencies into your radio before you get there (And make sure the batteries are charged). Have a great Eid

    As well for me it will be the first time.
    Where we can see on which frequency we have to set the radio? Is there a WhatsApp group where we could communicate ?
