Where can I get the equipment ?

You want to know where you can buy the equipment ? Here some places / price idea: MOST IMPORTANT: Air compressor: you can get it in Carrefour, ACE or some 4x4 dedicated shop such as Ramy 4x4. In term of price you will find some from 160 AED to 1000 AED. If you get one around 170-220 AED delivering 85L / min, you'll be fine. And keep in mind it can
