Your Complete Dune Buggy Desert Safari Adventure

Unleash Power, Embrace Culture — All in One Evening

The Evening Desert Safari with Dune Buggy Ride is the ultimate desert experience for travelers who want it all. This dune buggy desert safari offers high speed excitement across red dunes followed by a traditional Arabian night under the stars. Drive your own Polaris dune buggy, join a thrilling 4×4 dune bash, ride camels, sandboard down golden slopes, and enjoy live entertainment with a BBQ dinner in a desert camp.

Whether you’re visiting Dubai for the first time or returning for more, this is the desert adventure that blends thrill with culture in the best way possible.

Why This Dune Buggy Desert Safari is Different

There are lots of desert safaris in Dubai but most don’t offer true off-road driving. This tour starts with a 60 minute self-drive Polaris buggy ride, giving you total control and unmatched desert access. After your adventure, you’ll join a full evening desert safari with shared transfers, 4×4 dune bashing, camel rides, sunset photography, and a camp experience with live shows and dinner.

You don’t have to choose between adventure and culture. This dune buggy desert safari gives you both in one seamless package. A variety of speed, scenery, and tradition, all in a single evening.


The Dune Buggy Experience

Polaris RZR 1000cc: Built for Desert Fun

You’ll begin the evening with a self-drive session in a Polaris RZR buggy. These machines are fast, responsive, and built to take on Dubai’s rugged dune terrain. Choose from:

  • 1-seater for solo thrill-seekers – 1 buggy AED 750 for 1 person
  • 2-seater for couples or buddies – 1 buggy AED 1050 for 2 persons
  • 4-seater for small families or groups – 1 buggy AED 1250 for 4 persons

Each buggy has a roll cage, bucket seats, safety harnesses, and LED lights for safety and style.

What to Expect

  • Helmet, gloves, and goggles provided
  • Full safety briefing and driving instructions
  • Follow-the-leader style ride with experienced guide
  • Drive across high dunes, open flats, and ridge trails
  • Photo stops at panoramic desert spots
  • Bottled water during the ride

You’ll feel the desert under your wheels, with freedom to push the buggy and enjoy the real off-road experience.

Dune Bashing & Sunset

Once your buggy ride ends, take a break with refreshments and transfer to the 4×4 Land Cruiser for dune bashing. This part of the safari is about high speed fun with expert drivers maneuvering up, down, and across massive dunes.

As the sun sets, you’ll stop for photos and take in the golden hour glow over the desert. It’s the perfect chance to relax before heading to camp.

Traditional Desert Camp Experience

After the adventure, the second half of your dune buggy desert safari begins with a warm welcome at our Bedouin style camp. This is where tradition and relaxation take center stage.

Cultural Activities:

  • Camel Ride: Short guided ride for a classic desert photo opportunity
  • Sandboarding: Try your hand at riding the dunes standing up
  • Arabic Welcome: Fresh dates, gahwa (Arabic coffee), and tea
  • Henna Tattoos: Intricate designs by skilled local artists
  • Shisha Lounge: Traditional Arabic water pipe in a dedicated area
  • Arabian Costumes: Dress up and snap souvenir photos in local attire

The camp is cozy, with low seating, lantern lighting, and a peaceful atmosphere that sets the stage for dinner and entertainment.

Dinner and Live Entertainment

As the evening continues, enjoy a BBQ buffet dinner with live grills and traditional Emirati flavors. The menu includes:

  • Grilled chicken, lamb kebabs
  • Hummus, tabbouleh, fattoush, and other salads
  • Biryani rice, pasta, and breads
  • Arabic sweets and seasonal fruits
  • Soft drinks, tea, and water (unlimited)
  • Vegetarian options available

While you eat, a full lineup of shows keeps the evening lively:

  • Tanoura Dance: A Sufi-inspired performance with twirling LED-lit costumes
  • Belly Dance Show: A graceful, rhythmic performance that captures the region’s spirit
  • Fire Show: High energy spinning and flame tricks that light up the night
  • The camp experience rounds out your evening with cultural depth and great hospitality.
