ATV Riding in Dubai: Quad Biking & Camel Ride
Ride the dunes yourself, then settle into a camel's saddle for the desert's slower rhythm.
ATV riding in Dubai combines four hours of quad biking across the red dunes with a camel ride, sandboarding, and a 4x4 Jeep safari through the desert. You get a safety briefing before mounting the bike, ride at your own pace with stops for photos and sandboarding, then experience traditional camel transport with a comfortable saddle. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and camp entertainment with BBQ dinner is available depending on which option you choose.

The experience
The day starts with a pickup from your Dubai hotel and a drive to the red dunes. Once you arrive, you'll get a helmet, attend a safety briefing, and kick-start your quad bike to begin the ride across the sand. The pace is yours to set. You'll pause for a sandboarding session and photos along the way before returning to the starting point on the bike.
After the quad biking, you'll switch to a camel equipped with a comfortable saddle for a ride through the desert. This slower, traditional mode of transport gives you time to take in the landscape and the region's cultural heritage. The camel's gentle gait is a marked contrast to the speed and control of the quad bike, and it's a moment to breathe and absorb the surroundings.
The safari continues in a 4x4 Jeep for dune bashing. The driver handles the vehicle while you experience the terrain from a passenger's seat. If your option includes it, the day ends at Al Aweer Camp with entertainment and a BBQ dinner. The whole experience, from hotel pickup to drop-off, takes between four and seven hours depending on the option and the route. Wear fully enclosed shoes, bring sunglasses and sun cream, and be prepared to sign an indemnity form before you start.
Is this one for you?Choose the quad bike option if you want to control your own ride across the dunes. The safety briefing gets you ready even with no prior experience. Skip the quad biking if you prefer to watch the dune bashing from the Jeep and focus on the camel ride and camp experience instead. Pick the private option if your group wants its own vehicle and guide. The shared option works if you're comfortable riding with other travelers and want to lower the cost.

Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English, Hindi and Urdu.
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 8 years): free; Infant (under 3).
Do I need experience to ride a quad bike on this safari?
No prior experience is required. You'll receive a safety briefing and helmet before you start, and the ride is self-paced. You control the speed and can stop whenever you need to. The briefing covers the basics of operating the bike safely on the dunes.
What's the difference between the private and shared options?
Private options mean you book the experience for your group alone, with your own vehicle and guide. Shared options combine multiple groups in the same Jeep and on the same route, which reduces the cost. Both include the quad biking, camel ride, and dune bashing. The difference is who else is on the safari with you.
Can I skip the quad biking and just do the camel ride and Jeep safari?
Yes. Several options exclude quad biking. You'll still get the camel ride, sandboarding, dune bashing in the Jeep, and camp entertainment if included. Choose the "No Quad Bike" option at checkout to book the desert experience without operating the ATV.
Is the BBQ dinner and camp entertainment included in every option?
No. The "Camp" options include BBQ dinner and entertainment at Al Aweer Camp. The "No Camp" options do not. Check which option you're selecting at checkout, as this determines whether the day ends at the camp or with your hotel drop-off after the Jeep safari.
What should I bring, and are there any restrictions?
Bring sunglasses, a camera, and sun cream. Wear fully enclosed shoes: sandals and open footwear are not suitable for quad biking. The activity is not recommended for travelers with back problems, heart conditions, or serious medical issues, or for pregnant women. Children under six years old are not permitted by Dubai law. Older children are welcome if accompanied by a parent.
How long does the whole experience take?
The safari runs between four and seven hours from hotel pickup to drop-off. The exact duration depends on your option, the route taken, and weather conditions. The operator notes that availability is subject to weather, so desert conditions may affect timing on the day.
