Hello Everyone,
After 1 year i came back to drive with my Best off road Club to return my skills.
It was nice to meet new members & old members.
It was good to see Almost4x4 family is getting bigger and bigger. It was pleasure to drive with new members and they did well.
Special thanks for the Marshal(@Rashidjass &@Scorpio )
And thanks to all Intermediate and advanced drivers for the support.
See you soon

There’s no better way to kick off your off-roading journey than with the Almost4x4 family—and trust me, I speak from experience!
I still remember my very first CM drive with Marshal @Rashidjass like it was yesterday. That day was a game-changer, and I’ll always be grateful to the amazing Marshals of Almost4x4 who made that first step feel so welcoming and exciting. Because of them, I didn’t just attend a drive—I found a passion. Today, I proudly call myself an off-roader, and it all started right there.
Here’s to the new batch of CM drivers—may this be the beginning of something awesome! Looking forward to seeing many of you grow into the dunes, just like we did.
A big thanks to @Scorpio for organising the drive, @Rashidjass, @presa, All advance and fellow intermediates for supporting the new members.
See you all on sand soon.

Dear Almosters
Firstly Welcome to the new Club Members who joined us on Saturday for the introduction drive in Sweihan.
The weather is starting to heat up which made the theory introduction a bit uncomfortable, but with the shade provided by the dedicated crew, cold water and other treats made it bearable. A big thank you to our organising marshal @Scorpio for the informative session. this was also an ideal opportunity to reiterate the importance of the basic skills for the Newbie drivers who were invited to join.
I was positioned in the CM convoy to assit with any situations that might arise - fortuneately the convoy did extremely well and no recoveries were required.
I did assist with the recovery of a crested car, but this was prior to the start of the drive when a fellow intermeadate tried to take the scenic route to the meeting point only to find himself crested on a tricky little dune.
We met the other convoy at Nagra dune where our media team @nidal78 @Ehab and @mpodroid were busy working with the Dubai TV crew to film the journey - looking forward to seeing this aired on local TV in the coming weeks.
The day was a great introduction to Almost4x4 for the new comers, a big thanks for the marshals, advanced, media, intermeadiates and crew who made the day a success
@Rashidjass , @presa @Daggerfall @Abubakar @David @Ehab @nidal78 @mpodroid @Paddy @Moustafa @Warrior12 @KIMOz @Aljamhi @AZK89 @Paddy to name a few
Not to forget @Solmaz
Personally I was having a bit of an off day with a massive toothache so I spent most of the briefing in my car waiting for the panadol to take affect.
Looking forward to seeing all the new "Newbies" at next weeks drive - remember to get your tools chiecked off by the marshals so you are elegible to join

Hello All,
So it all started at the melting point, where i reached by 2:30PM, after which new CM drivers and the Newbies started to came in, and within half hour the desert was full of off road enthusiasts despite the 45 degrees.
We got covereage from Dubai TV as @Scorpio started the briefing to the CM members and then to the newbies.
The drive went great as the sand was great and smooth and the new CM drivers performed great with couple of second tries, which is part of learning.
At the end of the drive we gathered again for the group picture and video and after that we concluded the drive.
Special thanks to all the Marshalls and Support team for their guidance and support @Rashidjass @brett @Daggerfall @presa @Abubakar
Looking forward to the next drive on coming Saturday.
Cheers

The day started with a great briefing by Marshal Scorpion introducing everyone to the club and explaining what to expect in the drive and the do's and don'ts on the sand.
We proceed to drive on the sand in easy relaxed lines to enjoy the desert. There was a handful of refusals and second tries as expected in a big convoy of new drivers, nonetheless all the marshals, advanced and intermediate drivers handled all situations meticulously and guided us to the correct course.
After some driving we lined up in front of a big dune (someone tell me the name of it please) for a break and group pictures. Shortly after we proceeded to drive towards the exit point.
Hats off to everyone who helped organize and make this drive happen for us to enjoy the desert safely. And special shout out to Moustafa for the coffee, chai and 100+ pictures he spent the day taking
