We had an amazing desert safari experience, and our tour guide, Emdad, made it even more special! He was very friendly, helpful, professional, and made sure we had a great time throughout the trip. The dune bashing was exciting, and the whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. Thank you, Emdad, for making our desert safari so memorable. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Dubai! 🌟🏜️

Questions fréquentes
Do I need a driving licence to drive a dune buggy in Dubai?
No licence is required in our desert area. The driver must be 18+ (16+ with a guardian on some models). Passengers can be younger, and ID is checked at the base.
How many people fit in a dune buggy?
1-, 2- and 4-seat buggies are available. The price is per buggy, not per person.
Is pickup included?
Two options: self-drive to our desert base (cheapest), or hotel pickup and drop-off in a 4x4 (from a small extra per buggy, or included in the 'with pickup' prices).
What should I wear?
Closed shoes, light long sleeves and sunglasses. Helmets, goggles and gloves are provided, and a scarf or face cover helps with the sand.
Can first-timers drive a buggy?
Yes. You get a safety briefing and follow a lead guide, and the Polaris RZR 1000 is the easiest to drive.
Can pregnant women or children join?
Pregnant guests shouldn't ride. Children can ride as passengers in 2- and 4-seat buggies with an adult driver.
