Morning Dune Bashing & Quad Bike Safari from Dubai
Leave Dubai’s skyline behind and spend a high‑octane morning riding over red dunes. This private desert safari combines guided dune bashing, optional quad biking and sand‑boarding with hotel pickup and bottled water included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure loose gear
Cameras and phones should be on straps or stored—fine sand gets everywhere and can damage electronics.
Stay hydrated before and after
Carry water and drink early; desert heat builds fast even on morning trips.
Dress for sand and sun
Wear closed‑toe shoes and high‑SPF sunscreen; sunglasses or goggles help keep grit out of your eyes.
Follow the guide’s line
Remain inside designated vehicles and obey the driver—off‑track driving damages fragile desert surfaces and is unsafe.

Conservation Note
