Details

Enjoy the splendor of the desert with this exhilarating ATV tour. You may experience desert hospitality if you stop at a Bedouin camp. Include a delicious BBQ meal to make your trip even better.

Take this unique trip around the Dubai desert in one of the two-seater dune buggies. Explore the area's imposing sand dunes by climbing across hills and valleys while admiring the breathtaking surroundings.

Your guide will keep you moving at a pace you can tolerate while pointing you in the proper direction. In the unlikely event that you are feeling rather depleted, take some time off and indulge in some treats before returning to the sand dunes.

Every Buggy comes with a full safety harness, container seats, and a full roll cage for your comfort and safety. For an hour in the buggy, you may go on this journey by yourself or with a buddy.

The 4x4 vehicles will be ready for you to follow after the buggy ride to the Bedouin camp in the heart of the desert for a delectable BBQ buffet meal and live entertainment.

Dune bashing is a must do in Dubai! The barbecue and show at the desert camp was the icing on the cake. If you're a couple, rent the buggy, as it has 2 seats. It's more difficult to drive than the quad but the roll cage and harness makes it safer, as driving on sand gives you very little traction even with 4-wheel drive. Sunglasses are a must, not just to protect from the sun, but the sand blowing in your face. You may also want consider purchasing a kufiya (Arab head scarf) and wrapping it around your mouth and nose to further protect your face. Our guides were friendly and honest and very helpful at answering any questions.

We were picked up at the time arranged and taken out to a complex that hires dune buggies and quads. We were given our self drive buggies (included in the tour) and spent an hour following a guide through the dunes. We then got back into the land cruiser and head for the Bedouin camp to see the sunset over the desert and then enjoy dinner and show.

Whole day was great, Niaz contacted us to let us know the time he would collect us, he arrived right on time and in a comfortable car. We were taken to the desert and provided dune buggies, we spent an hour going around the desert in the buggies. The whole thing was amazing and I would 100% do it again. After the dune buggies, we were taken for a bbq and provided live entertainment, it was fantastic. Niaz was a great tour guide and would highly recommend requesting him.

We booked this experience for 4 people and can’t recommend it enough we were collected from our hotel on time in a luxury vehicle and driven to the desert. The private Dune Buggy’s were great and our guide was very fun with no hassle or hard sell. We then went onto the Dessert Camp where we had a included camel ride and were then shown to our VIP table, the food and service was excellent and the show was amazing. All in all the whole experience should not be missed and special thanks to our tour guide Nasir who kept us well informed the whole tour.

We had an amazing experience. Highly recommended!!We got picked up from our hotel, it was really well organized. We booked Buggy Safari, this is what you need to go for if you are looking for something extreme. Our guide was Karnail. He is just the best. Brought us deep into the desert and took the time out to take amazing pictures of us and show us everything. There was no rushing everything was on time. He was really helpful and patient with us. After the safari we went to a camp, had beautiful food and a really cool show.

Our guide Karnail was excellent, he was friendly and made us feel welcome. The dune buggies were a lot of fun though feel it would have been nice to go a bit faster. The evening BBQ and entertainment was excellent. The only reason that I am giving this activity 4 stars is because the company that we went to for the dune buggies was poorly ran and inefficient but once we were on the buggies it was great. Also, we were taken to a shop next to the buggy company to have ‘head gear’ put on, where the stafff wrapped traditional Bedouin head scarves on us without giving us any information so we thought it was all included but then tried to charge us for it although we never asked for it! On the whole though, a very enjoyable day!

Absolutely loved it- the 1hr drive in the desert in a buggy was fun, safe - unlike some others who didn’t get helmets with other tours, this one was really good at making sure we could go crazy in the sand dunes while staying safe. Our guide SAIF was super helpful, friendly, I can’t recommend him enough. He helped sort out an issue we had with the kids reservation in no time and he was very mindful of us and the kids throughout the activity. Night BBQ was ‘ok’- but be prepared for a huge crowd, and cafeteria style food. But it’s still a nice way to finish the day. Highly recommend it!!
