If you’re looking for a unique thrill that can only be found in Dubai, it’s time to leave the open road and head for the desert. Here, you’ll find a Dune Buggy Adventure unlike anything you’ll experience anywhere else.

Set in the Lisaili camp just a short drive from the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the Dune Buggy Adventure spans across a path of bumps, turns, pivots and dunes that make for the perfect circuit to experience a different kind of open road.

The Dune Buggy Adventure in Dubai begins with transfers to and from your hotel or residence directly to the Lisaili Camp. If you’re joining us on a passenger experience, your transfer is the calmer form of chauffeur service you’ll enjoy! If you’re getting behind the wheel, your transfer is an opportunity to build your anticipation for the drive.

We follow a set path on the Dune Buggy Adventure, comprised of thrills and turns that create an exhilarating journey across the desert dunes. As for the dune buggy – they will be like nothing you’ve ever experienced before! They are a vehicle specially adapted for the desert, including wider tyres, larger wheels, and an open frame lined with reinforced barring to create a cocoon shape around the driver.

Before beginning your Dune Buggy Adventure in Dubai, you will receive a full safety briefing from a member of our experienced driving team. They know the dunes like the back of their hand, and will clearly show you how to enjoy your drive safely. At this point, safety equipment will be handed out and you’ll be ready to hit the dunes.

You will follow an Arabian Adventures instructor along the dune buggy circuit, keeping good distance to ensure you’re able to feel the rush at every opportunity. The full session will last for up to 2 hours.

Your safety on the dunes is our top priority. If we feel you are acting in an unsafe manner or putting the safety of the group at risk, we reserve the right to stop your participation in the activity. We encourage all guests to enjoy a thrilling drive responsibly.
