I loved everything. It was an amazing family adventure. Our tour guide Sadeem was so paitient with us when we were late, and the agency was gracious enough to accomodate picking us up from another location than earlier stated. We enjoyed visisting the beautiful desert for the first time and all the activities that came with it. Our guide encouraged us to do the activities that we were hesitant to do saying, "This is once in a lifetime experience you must have when you visit the dessert." The quad bike ride was fun, and exciting. I was apprehensive at first, but with time I got the hang of it. The dune ride was exhilerating and the highlight of the day was the night time activities, the camel rides, the barbeque dinner and show. Also, it was nice to be dropped off apartment safely afterwards.

Our tour guide Najeeb really made the tour. He was friendly, kind and very funny. Experience was fantastic, didn't ride the camels as I don't agree with using animals for money but everything else was fab and highly recommended.

We had the best safari experience with Mohamed Fawzi! He is truly the best driver, guide, and photographer all in one. His driving skills made the desert ride both thrilling and safe, his knowledge and guidance made the trip unforgettable, and his photography skills captured every moment perfectly. Highly recommend him if you want the ultimate Dubai safari experience!

Our desert safari in Dubai was an unforgettable highlight of our trip, and it was all thanks to Yasir. He made the entire experience thrilling and enjoyable, from the exciting dune bashing to the adventurous sand boarding and the serene camel ride. Yasir was incredibly cooperative, attentive, and ensured we were comfortable at every step. He also captured our moments with amazing photos that looked like they were taken by a professional. Yasir truly made this experience special, and I would highly recommend booking with him for anyone visiting Dubai.

Seat Belts and Harnesses: Our dune buggies have strong seat belts or harnesses to keep you securely in place during the exciting ride, built to handle the bumpy movements of off-road driving.
Stay seated and hold on: During the ride, especially on steeper dunes, it's crucial to stay seated and hold the grab handles provided. This ensures your safety and prevents falls.
Roll Cages: Safety is our priority, and our buggies come with roll cages for added protection. In the rare event of a rollover, these cages keep the vehicle structure intact, ensuring the safety of our participants.
Helmets: Your safety matters to us. We provide helmets for everyone on our adventures. Wearing a helmet not only keeps you safe but also adds to the overall safety of your desert journey.

Best time to go - Dune Buggy ride in Dubai

Evening: Enjoy buggy rides, soak in the breathtaking sunset and enjoy the cooler night air, particularly during low season, October-March.

Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes you can move around in are essential. Opt for light, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Sunglasses and sunscreen are your desert essentials, and a bandana keeps the wind out of your hair (and adds to the desert vibes!).

Focus on lighter meals before your buggy ride. Most safaris include delicious dinners or buffets later, so don't fill up too much before the fun starts.

Buckle up with buddies! Dune buggies typically seat two or three passengers, so grab your friends or family and share the sandy thrill.
