The Desert Buggy Driving Experience puts you behind the wheel of a dune buggy for a 60-minute self-driven ride across Dubai's desert dunes. Buggies are available in two- to six-seater configurations, so the format suits solo drivers, friends and small groups alike, from first-timers to confident drivers.

A hotel transfer collects you from your location at a time slot you choose at booking, with pickup usually 60 to 90 minutes ahead of that slot. At the desert site, a guide briefs you on the controls and safety rules, hands out a helmet and goggles, and has you sign an indemnity form before you set off.

On the dunes

Once briefed, you take the wheel of your chosen buggy, from the Polaris RZR 1000cc and Can-am Maverick Turbo to the Polaris Ranger and Yamaha Grizzly 350cc, and drive across the desert terrain with your guide keeping the group together. The buggies are built to be easy to handle even if you have not driven off-road before, while still giving confident drivers enough speed and grip to enjoy the dunes at pace. Helmets and goggles stay on throughout, and the guide's instructions on pace and route keep the drive within safe limits. Refreshments, including water and soft drinks, are on hand to cool off between runs.

Add-on sandboarding

After the drive, you can add a sandboarding session, sliding down the dunes on foot for a change of pace before you head back. It is a simple way to stay out on the sand a little longer without needing any equipment of your own.

If you want more desert time, look at a Desert Safari with Quad Biking, a Dune Buggy Adventure Dubai, or a Sunrise Desert Safari Dubai. Rayna Tours' own team manages the pickup, guiding and support for your session from start to finish.

  • Bring a valid official ID.
  • Pickup time is the time slot you select at booking; pickup is usually 60 to 90 minutes before that slot.
  • You are collected from your location in a hotel transfer arranged at booking.
  • The driving session itself lasts 60 minutes.
  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement, and avoid bringing heavy luggage.
  • Drivers must be at least 20 years old; other passengers must be at least 6 years old.
  • This activity is not recommended for pregnant women or guests with back issues.
  • Helmets are compulsory and must be worn throughout the ride.
  • Follow your guide's instructions; drifting, over-speeding or reckless driving will result in the ride being cancelled.
  • You will be asked to sign an indemnity form before starting the ride.
  • No refund is given if the experience is partially used.

Magic expérience

5/5

My wife and I wanted to tell you how delighted we were with our safari day with your company. Sunil was an excellent guide, very friendly, and shared his knowledge with us perfectly. He is also a master at taking photos in the desert. Please thank him again on our behalf. At the camp, the food was excellent. We really appreciated the private package with a dedicated butler. The quality and variety of the dishes were remarkable. In short, we are delighted and can only recommend your company. Merry Christmas. Soraya and Thierry / Paris (France)

Amazing experience with Faizer. It was a memorable one and we loved every moment, the best was the fire show. A suggestion would be to increase the timing of camel ride . Otherwise amazing dune bashing

Unforgettable Arabian experience

5/5

Went for a desert safari in Dubai! œ¨ Dune bashing felt like a roller coaster on sand”thrilling yet safe. The sunset views, camel ride, BBQ dinner, and cultural shows made it even more special. A perfect mix of adventure and Arabian vibes! Thank you Mohit for making this experience unforgettable.
