Open-Air ATV Riding
Experience the desert from an exposed riding position with direct control of your quad across changing off-road terrain.

Ride your own quad bike across Dubai's red dunes on a private guided desert tour. Choose from flexible riding packages with prices from AED 250 per quad bike.
A quad bike puts you directly in control of an open-air off-road vehicle, giving you a more individual and connected way to experience Dubai's desert terrain.

Your guide can adjust the riding route and pace according to the group's confidence and ability, while keeping the experience within the planned guided route.
