Quad Bike + Desert Safari
Combine your ride with dune bashing, camel rides, sandboarding and dinner. See our Evening Desert Safari + ATV and Morning Desert Safari + ATV packages.
How It Works
Your ride starts with a short safety briefing. The marshal explains the throttle, brakes and hand signals, and you'll do a quick practice loop on flat sand. Then it's into the dunes, following the guide in a single line. The marshal sets the pace for the group, so beginners never feel rushed and confident riders still get plenty of thrills.

- Solo riders must be at least 16 years old.
- Younger guests may ride as passengers on larger bikes where permitted.
- No driving licence is needed for guided rides.
- Not suitable for pregnant women or guests with back, neck or heart problems.
What to Wear

Safety First
All rides are guided by trained marshals on routes chosen to match the group's experience. Helmets are required, bikes are serviced regularly and we keep group sizes small, so every rider gets attention.
Quad Bike or Dune Buggy?

Best Time to Ride
- Morning: Cooler, with firm sand. Best from May to September.
- Sunset: Golden light and stunning views. Best from October to April.
Why Ride a Quad Bike in Abu Dhabi?
The dunes near Abu Dhabi are some of the best in the UAE for quad biking: wide, rolling and deep red, with fewer riders than the busiest desert areas. A guided quad bike Abu Dhabi ride gives you open space to enjoy the bike, beautiful scenery for photos and the thrill of steering your own way across the sand. It's one of the best-value adventures in the city.
Quad Biking for Groups
Riding as a group is twice the fun. Groups of friends, families with teenagers and corporate teams often book several quad bikes together. We can arrange private group rides with dedicated marshals, and combine them with dune bashing, sandboarding and dinner at camp.
