Glamour of the Dunes of Dubai
The unfathomable deserts of Dubai are waiting to be explored by the present-day bon vivant. Enjoy Dune Buggy Dubai as you partake in this off-road experience. The rudimentary requirement for the fun activity is a 4X4 vehicle which can be manoeuvred at varying speeds over the sand dunes. It’s important to control the car while ascending and descending the dunes. The SUVs used for the adventure are laced with safety harnesses such as roll cages and the air pressure of the tires is decreased to have maximum grip on the slipping sand. Quad Biking Dubai is a ride of a lifetime as you ride yourself on an ATV vehicle. As you enjoy the hills, low plateaus and canyons while riding the quad bike. Take a small halt to click some amazing photographs of the terrain. After an awesome and tiring ride, it's time to relax and enjoy the sunset as you relax with coffee and dates and belly dancing in a nearby Bedouin tent. The trip becomes more memorable as you get your hands tattooed in henna. Get a feel of ancient times as you ride on the back of the ship of the desert.

Quad Biking Dubai

Welcome the rising sun as you ride the Quad Bike and you run wild for almost two hours in the desert. Arrive at your destination in a comfy air-conditioned vehicle for a “bumpy “ride ahead. It’s time to get suited in the appropriate gear with helmet, gloves and of course the vehicle of choice the Quad bike.

With an automatic gearbox, the quad is easy for everyone to drive as you speed through the desert in no time. To drive the quad the bikers need a valid driver’s license but if you don't have one there is no need to panic. You can still have fun as you can ride as a co-passenger on the quad. The Quad Biking Dubai trips are available for cool mornings and also magical evenings as the choice depends on the bikers.

Dune Buggy Dubai
Another feather in the cap of adventures in the desert is the Dune Buggy Dubai ride.

Get behind the wheel of a chic 3,000cc V6 and have a gala time with this off-road experience. These buggies are safe and can be fun to ride with the family. Dune Buggy is an adventure in the desert where you can self-drive the buggy and ride to the designated area where instructions are given before the ride. The evening Dune Buggy includes a buffet dinner as well as a live entertainment show. Pick the ride of your choice from an RS1 to a Can-Am X3 Turbo with protective gear including harnesses, doors and full roll cages. The tour is conducted under the watchful eyes of trained professionals who take the riders through this magical playground of the desert. Unleash the dormant lying Mad Max as you go across the desert riding high on a dune buggy.

Hot Air Balloon Ride
Soar high in Dubai skies after enjoying the thrilling Quad Biking Dubai experience. Gaze at the rising sun as you drift above the dunes at an altitude of around three thousand feet. This is a must to do activity besides the Dune Buggy Dubai ride. Move away from the skyrocketing architectural wonders and be mesmerised by natural wonders on the face of the planet while witnessing the sun rise above the horizon over the Hajar Mountains. For some, it might be the “drug “ to feel the much-needed “high” but the fact of the matter is it is the most calming and tranquil. The hot air balloon ride is a blend of composure and escapade. Sharpen your eyesight as you chance to spot the indigenous wildlife of Dubai such as the Arabian oryx and gazelles without disturbing the residents. Experience one of a kind in-flight falcon show with your loved one with an experienced pilot at the helm. As you touch down a feast awaits you to be relished which has a befitting menu including caviar, smoked salmon, cheese with a bread basket and a platter of fruits. Choose from hot and cold beverages which are up for grabs.

Dune Bashing
Plan ahead to get the opportunity to enjoy Dune Bashing with Dune Buggy Dubai. Enjoy the desert safari as you do dune bashing. Dune bashing gives you the right opening to explore the vast expanse of the Arabian Desert. These modern-day SUVs are the  “magic carpets “which speed across the dunes at full throttle. The amazing tidbit is the reduced air pressure in the tyres of the vehicle gives it more traction against the slithering sands. The dune-bashing adventure starts with a pick-up from your hotel which is pursued by forty-five minutes to an hour-long drive of the landscape. The desert is free of traffic lights, and towering buildings which are beautiful but sometimes obstruct the view. The ride is bumpy as well as thrilling and the charm of the ride reaches its epitome as vehicles travel in a cortege and stick close to performing antics. Enjoy on the edge experience while you slide, skid and spin as you hear yourself screaming and shouting.

Sandboarding
Brace yourselves as you take upon the solo adventure of sandboarding which is a part of the desert safari as you slope down the dunes on a board. Snowboarding is usually done on the snowy slopes of the polar regions. In Dubai, the sport is adapted to enjoy this accelerating experience as you slope and scale the dunes. Deserts are ideal for this sport because of the tall and steep dunes. The rider stands on the top of the dune as the feet are strapped to a board as you slide to the base of the dune. As the sands are a bit more coarse-grained than the soft snow snowboarding becomes a little challenging therefore the boards used are a little heavier than the ones used on the snow. The best place to try sandboarding is the Lahbad Desert famous for its red and tall dunes with an astounding height ranging from ten to thirty metres.

Camel Safari
No trip to the desert is complete unless you ride the Camel or the infamous ship of the desert. The ride of these four-legged beauties is more refreshing than a four-wheeled machine. Have fun and relax as you ride the back of the ship of the desert which strides slowly across the sand at its own pace. The ride gives you the feel of the nomadic life of the yesteryears. When the time comes to disembark after a forty-five-minute ride head towards the Bedouin-styled campsite where Qahwa (the Arabian Coffee ) and the famous dates wait for you as your refreshments. With the falling night just around the corner enjoy a delicious bar be que with a spread of hummus, kebabs, salads and drinks.
