Traveler reviews
The experience
You pick up at MIA Park and travel to the desert, where an orientation and safety briefing get you ready to drive. The buggy is yours to control. You navigate the sand dunes at whatever pace suits you, with guides riding alongside to watch for hazards and help if you get stuck. The terrain shifts under the wheels as you work through the landscape. Guides stay close enough to assist but far enough back to let you feel the steering and throttle.
After the dune buggy section, you move to camel riding, the traditional way desert travelers crossed this ground. The shift from engine noise to the rhythm of a camel's gait is deliberate: the combo pairs the adrenaline of self-driving with the slower, older rhythm of the desert itself. Then it's the return journey to MIA Park and dropoff.
Is this one for you?The activity runs 2 to 3 hours total, with active driving time on the dunes followed by camel riding, so you're operating equipment for most of it rather than sitting as a passenger. Book this if you want hands-on control of the buggy and don't mind the physical engagement of steering and throttle work across uneven sand.
