Indian and Pakistani riders share one road in UAE, take a joint Independence Day ride
Sunday morning, 5.30am, and the forecourt of a petrol station in Al Warsan is filling with engines. By 8am, the convoy has run out to Al Qudra, looped through Al Marmoom and pulled up at the last exit on the road to Abu Dhabi. The riders are Indian and Pakistani. Their banner reads “Proud of UAE”. Then, somewhere past Al Qudra, the weather does something nobody had expected. Thick fog rolls…
Early Sunday morning, a convoy of Indian and Pakistani riders gathered at a petrol station in Al Warsan, UAE. The group of three clubs - Pakistan Riders Group (UAE), Singh’s Motorcycle Club (UAE), and SMC Unplugged (UAE) - embarked on a joint Independence Day ride. The date was deliberately chosen as both India and Pakistan celebrated their 80th years of independence.
Led by Indermohan Singh of Singh’s Motorcycle Club UAE, the riders faced unexpected fog during their journey from Al Qudra to Abu Dhabi, which turned the summer ride into a cold and strange experience. The fog served as a welcome respite from the usual heat. The ride aimed to spread a message of peace and brotherhood, as both countries marked their Independence Days on the same dates.
