The experience

You operate the buggy yourself, not ride as a passenger. After a quick briefing at 10am, you depart with a trained guide leading on a separate ATV. The day splits roughly 40% scenic riding and 60% action-packed trails, passing through viewpoints, small rivers, lakes, waterfalls and Bedouin settlements. Eight destinations are available: Barouk Lakes trail, Laklouk Lakes, Oyoun Orghosh Oasis, Cedars of God, Ehden, Zahle, Kornet el Sawda Viewpoint and Tannourine. Trails can be tailored for groups based on seasons, conditions and rider preferences, so the route adapts to what you want.

The RZR XP4 fits one driver and three passengers, so a family or group books one vehicle and splits the cost among everyone inside it. Helmets and dust masks come with the rental. The trail gets dusty, so wear over-the-ankle boots, long pants, sunglasses or goggles, and bring an extra layer in case it cools on the way back. A professional guide, bottled water and coffee or tea are included. If you want lunch at the final destination, reserve ahead: the good restaurants fill up.

Arrive 15 minutes early for the briefing. You'll need a valid driving licence (any country's licence is accepted) and must be at least 18 years old to drive. Passengers can be as young as 6 if accompanied by an adult. The return is around 5pm, giving you time for photos, views and rest stops along the way.

Is this one for you?The guide speaks English, French or Arabic, so choose the language your group understands best. If you want to drive yourself through off-road trails rather than watch from a passenger seat, this is the activity for you. If you'd rather ride along without operating the vehicle, you can book as a passenger in someone else's buggy at the same price per seat.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, French and Arabic.

Can I ride as a passenger if I don't want to drive the buggy myself?

Yes. The RZR XP4 seats one driver and three passengers, so you can book a spot as a passenger in someone else's vehicle or share the cost of one buggy with up to three other people. The price is per vehicle, not per person.

What are the eight trail destinations I can choose from?

Barouk Lakes trail, Laklouk Lakes, Oyoun Orghosh Oasis, Cedars of God, Ehden, Zahle, Kornet el Sawda Viewpoint and Tannourine. Each destination has its own charm and can be reached by different trails passing through viewpoints, rivers, lakes, waterfalls and Bedouin settlements.

Is lunch included in the full-day ride?

Lunch is not included, but you'll have time to eat at the final destination. You need to reserve a restaurant table ahead of time because the good ones fill up during the day.

What do I need to bring or wear for a full day of ATV riding?

Wear over-the-ankle boots, long pants, sunglasses or goggles and bring an extra layer or jacket because it can get cold on the way back. The trail is dusty. Helmets and dust masks are provided. Bring your mobile or printed voucher and arrive 15 minutes early for the briefing.

Do I need a driving licence to operate the buggy?

Yes, you must have a valid driving licence from any country and be at least 18 years old to drive. Passengers can be younger: children as young as 6 can ride if accompanied by an adult.
