Dune Buggy Safari Dubai – Self-Drive Tour
Drive your own buggy through the red dunes, with an instructor alongside
About the Dune Buggy Safari
Our dune buggy safari in Dubai puts you behind the wheel of a 1,000cc to 2,000cc buggy on the red dunes, with an instructor guiding you the whole way. No experience is needed: most first-timers are confident after the 15-minute safety briefing.
Available in 30, 60, 90 or 120-minute sessions. Our buggies range from 1,000cc to 2,000cc turbocharged machines that tear up the red sand dunes like nothing else. Guided by our experienced desert instructors who ride alongside you throughout your adventure.
Choose Your Dune Buggy
Drive a single-seat buggy on your own, or share a two-seat side-by-side with a friend or partner. Our buggies range from 1,000cc to 2,000cc turbocharged machines, and your instructor sets a route that suits your group.
