Itinerary

Buggy Safaris offers a new dimension to off-road exploring. Ride one of the twin-seater, 800cc buggies and set off on this unique adventure around the Dubai Desert. Explore the region’s majestic sand dunes, climbing up and over peaks and valleys, and taking in the amazing scenery. Your guide will show you the best routes to take and will make sure you ride at a pace that you find comfortable. If you’re feeling a bit tired, stop for a breather and some refreshments before heading off into the sandy dunes once again. For your comfort and safety each dune buggy comes equipped with a full roll cage, bucket seats, and a full safety harness. You can also choose to book this tour in a group of 2, sharing the buggy between the two of you. Finally, for the perfect end to an exhilarating day, book your tour with a barbecue dinner at the end!

The driver, Schoko Khan, was great. We all had a lot of fun. We expected more from a dune rally, though. It's more like a fun park in the dunes, where you drive all over the place. We were expecting h (Read More)igh, yellow/red dunes. But it was still fun.

The buggy safari was incredibly cool. Racing through the sand dunes in a buggy is an experience that everyone should have at least once. We took a break in the middle and our guide took some great pic (Read More)tures. On the way back he took my smartphone and took some videos of us. During the trip we drove past camels. That was also an interesting experience. I recommend the earliest tour in the morning at 7:00 a.m., as the sun is a pleasant 30 degrees at that time, more bearable than in the afternoon. The included transfer also worked really well. 10/10 experience
