Eco-tour by quad bike - drive yourself in the desert

Quad biking is a fun way to explore the Dubai desert. Challenge yourself and the dunes. Speed, brake and turn. When you're done, a hearty buffet of grilled food, Arabic coffee and entertainment awaits.

Excursions in the desert in Dubai are very popular. Most people choose to go on desert safari with transport in jeep, but the tours where participants driving four-wheelers have become very popular.

The structure of a desert safari in Dubai looks very similar, regardless of the organiser. It involves a drive through the desert to a campsite with BBQ dinner, entertainment and camels.

The main difference between the tours is how to get there. Dubai's classic desert safari uses jeeps with drivers who skilfully navigate the dunes. In this case, however, you're the one accelerating, braking and swinging through the desert.

Four-wheel driving is fun and not at all difficult, so this tour is recommended for anyone who would rather drive themselves than ride with others. Otherwise, as I said, the set-up is quite similar.

The whole trip from the hotel and back usually takes 5-6 hours, of which you have to drive yourself for about an hour. During the drive through the desert you will be accompanied by a guide, but you will also have the chance to challenge the sand dunes on your own. Helmets and gloves are available to borrow.

When you arrive at the camp, entertainment awaits in the form of traditional dance and belly dancing, a barbecue buffet, Arabic coffee and dates, camel rides and hookah.

All details and information on cancellation, age limits and other practical matters available on the booking page.
