Extreme Quad Bike & Buggy
Grab the handlebars and blast across open desert on an automatic quad bike.
Tour Overview
Short answer: this is our dedicated quad-biking tour — a full 60-minute self-drive session on an automatic quad or 2-seater buggy, with no dune-bashing 4x4 or camp dinner attached, from AED 275 per person.
Where our combo tours give you 30 minutes of quad biking bundled with a full evening safari, this tour is built for riders who want quad biking as the actual main event, not an add-on. You'll get a full hour in the saddle — double the combo tour's riding time — with a proper safety briefing and a supervised practice loop before the main ride.
Choose a solo automatic quad, or upgrade to a 2-seater buggy if you'd rather ride with a partner or older child alongside you. Either way, the whole tour is focused on one thing: time spent actually riding, not divided between multiple desert activities.
Why Choose This Tour
Short answer: it's the longest quad-biking session we offer — a full hour rather than the 30-minute add-on included in our combo tours — for riders who want quad biking as the focus, not a side activity.
Guests who've only tried the shorter add-on version consistently tell us the extra 30 minutes here makes a real difference in confidence and enjoyment, especially for first-time riders who need longer to feel truly comfortable on the bike.

Local Insider Tips
- Take the buggy if you're riding with a nervous partner. Having someone else in control alongside you eases first-timer nerves.
- Book the private group session for a bachelor or bachelorette outing. Exclusive use of the riding area is a popular upgrade for groups.
- Wear a buff or scarf, not just sunglasses. Dust during the main hour-long session is more persistent than the shorter combo add-on.
