Dubai Desert Quad Bike Safari with Camel Ride, Sandboarding & BBQ Dinner
Throttle across wind-sculpted dunes on a guided quad bike, try quick sandboarding runs, and unwind in a Bedouin-style camp with optional BBQ and traditional dance. This evening safari pairs high-adrenaline riding with cultural entertainment on the outskirts of Dubai.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you arrive
Drink water before the meeting time—desert heat and riding increase dehydration risk even in the evening.
Wear closed-toe, secure shoes
Light hiking or trail shoes keep sand out and provide grip on footpegs and during transfers.
Secure loose gear
Use straps or a chest pack for phones and cameras—sand and vibrations can damage equipment.
Listen to the safety briefing
Quad control and dune etiquette are taught at the start; following the guide keeps the ride fun and safe.
