ATV Riding Dubai: Can-Am Maverick X3 Dune Buggy

One hour driving a turbo-powered dune buggy across open desert.

ATV riding in Dubai on a Can-Am Maverick X3 dune buggy with hotel pickup and drop-off included. You operate the vehicle yourself across the dunes with an experienced guide, helmet, goggles, gloves and water provided. Groups stay under 20 people. Choose a two-seat buggy or a four-seat family model depending on your group size.

The experience

You get picked up from your Dubai hotel and driven to the desert where the dune buggy experience begins. The Can-Am Maverick X3 XRS Turbo RR is a two-seat or four-seat vehicle depending on which option you book. The two-seat version is built for speed and agility, while the four-seat family buggy lets you bring kids along. You're the one behind the wheel for the full hour, navigating the dunes with an experienced guide leading the way. Helmets, goggles and gloves come with the booking, plus water bottles to stay hydrated in the heat.

Sand boarding is included as part of the experience, so after the driving portion you'll have time on the dunes themselves. The guide stays with your group throughout and handles all the logistics. You just show up ready to drive. Weather can cancel the activity, but if that happens you get offered another date or a full refund. Transport back to your hotel is included, so the whole thing is a single pickup-to-dropoff package.
