About This Tour

The Desert Safari with Quad Biking in Dubai is the ultimate choice for thrill-seekers who want more than the classic safari. Dunes Discovery Tourism pairs a pulse-racing, self-drive quad bike (ATV) session with our complete evening desert safari — creating the most action-packed desert experience in Dubai.

Pick-up is slightly earlier — around 2:30 PM — to allow time for both the quad biking and the full evening programme. Your comfortable 4x4 vehicle delivers you to the desert entry point, where your quad biking adventure begins.

After a thorough safety briefing and instruction on controls, you mount a powerful automatic ATV and set off across the open desert terrain for 30 exhilarating minutes. No prior experience is needed — the bikes are easy to handle, and an instructor guides you throughout. Feel the sand spray as you accelerate, turn, and navigate the rolling landscape at your own pace.

With quad biking complete, the classic safari unfolds: an intense dune bashing session (30–45 minutes) that takes you soaring over the towering red dunes, a scenic sunset photography stop, and arrival at our traditional Bedouin-style camp.

At camp, the evening mirrors our beloved evening safari: camel rides, henna painting, falcon photography, Arabic costume dress-up, and relaxation at the shisha corner — followed by a lavish BBQ dinner buffet with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices and unlimited soft beverages.

The evening is crowned by live cultural shows: the spinning Tanoura dancer, an elegant belly dance performance, a daring fire show, and energetic Dabka drumming — all performed under the open desert sky.

You return to your hotel by around 9:30 PM, having experienced two of Dubai's greatest desert thrills in a single unforgettable outing. This quad biking desert safari is rated 4.8/5 by hundreds of adventure-loving guests.

No prior experience is necessary. All our quad bikes are automatic (no gear changes required). Before your ride, a professional instructor provides a complete safety briefing covering controls, throttle, braking, and track rules. It is very easy to pick up within the first minute or two.

Self-driving is available for guests aged 16 and above (some sessions may require 18). Children under 16 can ride as a passenger with a trained instructor on designated children's quad bikes within a restricted, safer area.

No driving licence is required for desert quad biking. The rides take place on private desert terrain, not public roads, so no licence is necessary.

The standard included session is 30 minutes — plenty of time to get comfortable and enjoy the experience. If you want more, you can extend by an additional 30 to 60 minutes at an extra charge payable at the desert.

We provide helmets and safety goggles for every rider. Closed-toe shoes are recommended. Our ATVs are professionally maintained and inspected before each session. An instructor monitors all riders throughout the experience.

Standard ATVs are single-rider vehicles. If you want to ride with a companion, ask about our 2-seater dune buggy option, which is available at an additional charge and offers an equally thrilling experience for two.

We strongly recommend pre-booking. On-site availability is not guaranteed as quad bikes are limited, on-site prices are typically higher, and you may face wait times. Pre-booking ensures your ATV is reserved, your session is scheduled seamlessly with the safari, and you get the best rate.

For safety reasons, we do not recommend using a phone while actively riding. However, the instructor can stop the group for photo opportunities during the session. GoPro or action camera mounts can often be arranged — ask your instructor.

Quad biking is not recommended for pregnant women, guests with severe back or neck problems, those prone to vertigo, or anyone who has recently undergone hand, arm, or shoulder surgery. If you are unsure, please consult with our team before booking.

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are recommended. Avoid high heels. Sunglasses and sunscreen are essential.
