Desert Get Together

Okay time to start focusing on this a bit, i need to firm up numbers and activities.

First off, I need to know how many people are in. Nov. 10 or Nov 17. Post preferred activities/date, whether you would like to camp overnight or not?

If you're interested must let me know by the 18th of October and I’ll post finalized plans closer to the end of the month.

If we can get enough interest I'll work to make sure that we can get a desert camp to ourselves for the evening. i.e. only DFM members and their guests

Budget around AED 250/person for desert safari, food, shisha, henna and the like. (prices are aproximate and may vary drastically based on number of participants and planned events)

oh also if you prefer landcruiser safari or self drive dune buggy style (likely we'll get a mix here and may split the group up and meet back at the tents)

How about a big desert party at night. Rent an huge tent somewhere find a spot, bring food and drink, etc. After all isn't the desert one of the truly local places. One bar/restaurant , two bar/restaurant, three bar/restaurant same here as in Mongolia....

Just a thought. I leave the logistics to others...

Tentatively in. There's a chance i'll have to go west to the magic kingdom early in the month which would make me unavailable for the 10th, later in the month should be fine though.

We are doing a private gig first, but the working title is 'Visit Visa'. very much a guitar based rock outfit and the sound is coming together nicely. If it all goes to plan, we may be playing public venues before too long and have already been approached by a couple of promoters who have liked what they heard...just needs a bit of 'polishing'!

Will let everyone know where and when they need to buy earplugs!
