This hands-on experience puts you behind the wheel of a sleek 3,000cc V6 engine dune buggy. Unlike 4x4 vehicles which need their tires deflated to drive on the dunes, these powerful machines were built to drive on sand. Climb and crawl over massive dunes as your convoy leader forges the path. You’ll also have the opportunity to do some sand boarding if you choose. All safety equipment and an unlimited supply of water are included in the trip.

What To Expect

Get picked up in a 4WD vehicle to begin your safari experience. Quickly arrive at the desert location, put on all of the necessary gear, and then take control of your dune buggy.

Along with your guides, start to climb and conquer the dunes as your convoy traverses the sand. If you're feeling extra adenturous, take a break and try your hand at sandboading to experience another exciting activity.

Throughout your adventure, get immersed in the sights of historical landmarks, vibrant marketplaces, and villages. Allow your guide to entertain and educate you about Dubai's history, Arab culture, and the ancient history of the UAE.

Return to your original location after a day of action.

The experience was amazing. The pick up was seamless and we got directly brought to the Desert. Afterwards we had an incredible hour driving the buggy’s through the dunes. It’s an experience I would recommend everyone. Also, what made the experience so special was the amazing staff, which was super kind, funny, and caring. Next time in Dubai, we will definitely rebook this again! Don’t miss out!

The amazing service and how easy they made the whole experience, the professionalism of the guides, and the unique experience of driving through the desert. The added activities like sand boarding are often mentioned as bonuses. Overall, it seems to be a highly recommended adventure

Wonderful trip

Big thank you to our driver and guide Jay for his help. Picked up at hotel on time and taken to the dunes. Buggies were safe and "fast"...with our lead driver guiding us around the course. There were 3 of us and we shared 2 buggies which worked out really well as we shared the driving and got great on-board videos. We swapped around half way through. Its not cheap but you really do get what you pay for. Would genuinely recommend this trip.

Desert Fun

I loved the speed we got to go, and the amount of time was perfect. Great variety of sand dunes. The camels were a surprise feature.

To be repeated

Andreas_T, Mar 2024

EVERYTHING WAS REALLY BEYOND EXPECTATIONS Have taken quite a few rides in the past but this one has been the very best! I will recommend to All y friends

Fantastic

JULIE_P, Feb 2024

Brilliant and exhilarating ride. The chap who took us was very good and recognised that we wanted to go for it, which we did. Not for the faint hearted !

Excellent adventure

Lionel_F, Feb 2024

Had a great time! Very patient and friendly guide. Sultan Guide. We had an awesome time in the dunes. My wife got stuck but the guide was quick to get us out and was very encouraging.

Nice desert adventure (with some expensive suprises) ....

PETER_O, Feb 2024

1. cotact with the organiser, pick-up of my both youngsters, and whole transport was perfecly done. All ran as promised. Driver arrived on time, even sooner as planned, transport in luxury SUV Nissan was comfortable. 2. Arrival at the base and training - fine, both were given the scarfs against sand, and googles. Scarfs were not necessary. But bring the with you (explain later why...). What suprised my teens very much was that they have been allowed to use only second gear at the huge V6 buggies, so fun by ride in sand, and dunes was very limited. My son is a Yaris GR driver, so for him was this bad suprise, promised fun and fast rides in dunes were a bit slappy... with very limited adventure factor. Instructor should ask clients for their driving skills. It has had no sense for us to pict up the most expensive dune riding with V6 engine raptor buggies, when you can use 10% of their capabilities.... Sorry, but I must tell this. 3. Boarding the dunes - very funny time, as promised. Thanx 4. They have been asked to write a ratings unpleasent surprise awaited my teens when finishing the dune ride. They have both given good ratings. 5. After writing the good ratins the second person from the instructor buggy, who turned to be a photographer (we hired no one, wanted no one (both my teens had their handies)) asked 10USD for a photo (125 photos taken). Logically they refused, but at the end of discussion they picked 10 best photos, for 100 USD ! Nonsense.. Even the given scarfs against the dust had to paid - 40 USD for a pair. And this by a the asked price more than 250USD for a person. At least the scarfs and photos could be free by the money. All together -- nice adventure in dunes for somebody with limited or no fast driving abilities, and for owner- please, check if your team is not doing their own business there. 250-260USD per person is in my opinion such a price, which allows client to await those details (scarf, googles, few photos if wanted) without additional payment, could be free... 4. After the end,

Exciting!

Adventure with family in activity and location have never experienced before. Mr. Jay was friendly, knowledgeable and enhanced our outing.

Unforgettable

Delyan_M, Jan 2024

Freaking amazing. Take a private tour, nothing else is as good as your own tempo. Adrenaline is to the max. We got so deep and further in the desert that there were no tracks. Unforgettable. The best thing we did in Dubai for 2 weeks, and we have tried a lot.

Worth every penny!!

Amber_D, Dec 2023

This was an amazing adventure and Well worth every penny! The guys were fabulous and want me returning to Dubai on a separate trip! Or bring them back to MN!

Fun in the dunes

elias_n, Oct 2023

Great experience with you Respective people Very kind , and a very unique behave with us Thanks Thanks

Fast and incredibly fun!

Matthew_R, May 2023

The private pickup, fantastic and fun ride, sandboarding, and private drive back we’re all high quality and made us feel incredibly well taken care of. Everything this company does is private, which is a massive step up from the large group excursions other places offer. And the dune buggies are the biggest of any company, which made for an awesome ride! We highly recommend for anyone looking for a great time!

GREAT SERVICE/FANTASTIC RIDE

NADINE_S, May 2023

I really enjoyed driving the dune buggy across the dunes. We were allowed time to stop & take pictures. Sliding down the dunes on a board was another experience. Plenty of time was allotted for the dune ride. I would definitely recommend this company 👌

Adrenaline rush, great experience

GyorgyLaszlo_B, Jan 2023

Adrenaline rush as you drive, then pro photographs taken in the desert about you & the car. Great experience

Brilliant experience with top notch machines

Ashley_C, Jan 2023

This was a great experience. Everyone got to drive powerful machines at a great pace through some amazing terrain. Wide track meant no need for helmets which enhanced the experience for sure. The team were great. Highly recommended.

Great Experience

Antonius_B, Dec 2022

Great experience, capable guides. You can ask the guide to go faster if you are comfortable to increase your speed
