CAN-AM X3 Turbo 2-Seater Dune Buggy Experience in Dubai Desert
Strap into a CAN‑AM X3 Turbo and roar across Dubai’s red dunes. This private, instructor-led 2-seater buggy experience mixes high-speed thrills with practical briefing and hotel pickup for a compact desert adventure.
The Experience
Before You Go
Time your run
Book sunrise or late afternoon to avoid peak heat and softer light that reveals dune contours better.
Secure loose items
Use a wrist strap for cameras and stow phones in zip pockets—sand will find every gap.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers protect your feet during entry/exit and when walking on hot, shifting sand.
Hydrate and know limits
Drink water before your slot and inform guides of any medical conditions; rides can be jostling.

Conservation Note
