Dubai Desert Safari with Quad Biking & BBQ Dinner Experience

Summary

Evening ATV Quad Bike Safari & Camel Trek in Dubai Desert

Looking for real adventure in Dubai? You’ll get quad biking over red dunes, camel rides at sunset, sandboarding, and a lively BBQ dinner with local entertainment—all in one evening.

What’s the experience like?

First thing I noticed stepping out of the 4x4 was how the sand felt—warm, almost silky, slipping right through my fingers. Our guide, Ahmed, handed out helmets and gave us a quick rundown on handling the quad bikes. Even if you’ve never tried one before, it’s easy to get the hang of it after a few minutes on those gentle practice tracks. The engine’s hum mixed with the wind as we zipped over the red dunes—sometimes you catch a whiff of cardamom from a nearby tea stand if the breeze is right.

After the ride, we stopped by a camel farm. The camels looked almost bored with us, but one nuzzled my hand when I held out a bit of grass. The sun started dipping low, painting everything in gold and orange. There’s this quiet moment where you just hear the soft shuffle of hooves and distant laughter from another group. Later, we tried sandboarding—honestly, I wiped out more than once but couldn’t stop laughing.

Evening set in fast. We headed to camp for tea and sweet gaymat. The falconer let us hold his bird for photos—those eyes are intense up close. Dinner was a mix of smoky grilled meats and veggie dishes; I piled my plate high. The live shows kicked off with swirling tanoura dancers and fire performers lighting up the night. If you want, there’s shisha and henna too. By the time we left, sand clung to my shoes and I couldn’t stop smiling.
