Your Quad Bike Experience
Safety Briefing First
Before anyone starts an engine, our marshal walks you through the controls, the hand signals and the route. It takes about five minutes and makes a big difference, especially if you've never ridden before.
Ride the Dunes
You'll follow your guide across a marked desert track, rolling over soft dunes and open sandy flats. Beginners can take it easy and get the feel of the bike. Confident riders can pick up a little more speed once the marshal gives the nod. The guide sets the pace for the group, so nobody gets left behind.
Choose Your Bike
We use automatic quad bikes in different sizes, so they're easy to ride even if you've never driven a motorbike.
The Rest of Your Evening
After the quad bike, hop into the 4x4 for dune bashing with your driver. Then stop on a high dune for sunset photos before heading to camp. There, you can ride a camel, try sandboarding, get henna and relax in the majlis with Arabic coffee. When it's dark, dinner is served and the shows begin: the hypnotic Tanoura spin, a fire performance and a belly dance.

Why Choose an Evening Desert Safari With Quad Bike Abu Dhabi Package?
Booking a quad bike separately and then joining a safari can mean two pickups, two schedules and two bills. Our evening desert safari with quad bike Abu Dhabi package puts it all together: one pickup, one smooth plan and one clear price. The quad session is timed for the late afternoon, when the heat has eased and the light is turning golden, so you get the best riding conditions of the day.
It's also a great middle ground for groups. Adventurous friends can ride, while anyone who'd rather relax can skip the quad and simply enjoy the dune bashing and camp. Just let us know who's riding when you book, and we'll price it accordingly.
What to Expect on the Quad Track
Our ATV area sits right on the edge of the dunes, with a mix of flat sand for warming up and rolling dunes for the main ride. Routes are chosen by our marshals each day depending on wind and sand conditions. Beginners stay on smoother sections, while experienced riders may be taken over slightly bigger dunes. You'll stop at least once for photos with your bike against the desert backdrop.
Tips for Riders
- Wear sunglasses or goggles to keep sand out of your eyes.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a buff or scarf.
- Keep a steady throttle on climbs and don't stop halfway up a dune.
- Relax your arms and let the bike move under you.
