ATV Riding in Dubai Red Dunes Desert: 30min on 1000cc Buggy

Thirty minutes driving your own machine through red sand, two photo stops, and a guide on a second buggy ahead

ATV riding in Dubai's red dunes desert where you drive your own 1000cc Polaris Buggy Turbo for 30 minutes accompanied by an experienced guide who leads the route and captures photos and video. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included within Dubai, along with water, goggles, and a safety briefing before you start. All experience levels are welcome.

The experience

You arrive at the desert camp and get a bottle of water, then sit through a safety briefing while the guides explain how to operate the Buggy. They hand you goggles, walk you through the controls, and you climb into the Polaris 1000cc Turbo: the most powerful machine in the Dubai desert fleet. Your guide rides a second buggy ahead of you, setting the pace and the line through the dunes while you follow for the full 30 minutes, steering your own way across the red sand.

The route includes two stops where your guide photographs and films you on the dunes. They transfer all the images and video to you free of charge after the tour ends. The guide stays in radio contact throughout, and the whole experience is built around your own control of the machine: beginner or expert, the pace and the line are yours to drive.
