Essential Guidelines to Prepare for a Safe Dune Buggy Dubai Ride

To enjoy an enjoyable dune buggy safari experience, remember some of the most important desert driving safety techniques. 

Be Sure to Wear a Helmet and a Buggy Outfit

Although wearing a helmet may irritate, it is still a necessity. As anyone who has experienced a dune ride knows, there are many bumps, twists, and turns along the way. It is an amazing experience; however, it can generate a jolt in your body that may cause discomfort. The wearing of a helmet is, therefore, mandatory at all times. Dune buggy helmets are constructed from reinforced materials to maintain your safety during the ride.

Buggy outfits can easily handle sand and dirt, which may ruin your clothes or interfere with your eyesight during the ride. A person may also sustain an eye injury if they spend too much time in the sand, and to prevent this, you must always wear goggles. 

All this safety equipment will be provided to you by the tour company, and always inspect it to ensure the equipment fits you correctly and is not loose from any end. Your first instinct may be to believe you do not require this safety equipment; however, it is always best to be cautious.

Take Travel Insurance Into Consideration

There are many unpredictable aspects of life, and there is no way to predict when you may encounter problems. Travel insurance is a good choice if you wish to play it safe. Although these travel insurance policies may not be able to protect you from incidents, they can still provide you with financial security. If you are financially protected, you can go on dune buggy rental trips with peace of mind without worrying about possible injury.

Travel insurance companies can assist you in dealing with these damages and provide you with the best treatment possible. Besides paying for your medical expenses, they will also cover any damage you may suffer.

Ensure That Your Buggy is in Good Working Condition

It is not a good idea to ride in a vehicle that is in poor condition. You will most likely suffer an accident when you ride a dune buggy if your vehicle is not properly fit at the outset. While many options are available for buggy options, ensuring that the vehicle you select is in good working condition is still vital. 

An easy way to address this problem is to perform a test drive to identify the problem. An unsmooth or bumpy ride may indicate that your buggy is damaged. If that’s the case, always ask your rental company for another buggy that does not have this problem. 

Plan Your Visit During the Most Convenient Time

Given the Gulf’s hot summers, we advise that you plan your dune buggy rental Dubai trip between November and April. During this time, the afternoons tend to be pleasant.  This way, you can have a relaxing trip without worrying about heat strokes. 

This tip is especially important for international tourists unfamiliar with local weather conditions. Those living in Europe and Canada in cold climates must plan their trip in cooler months. 

Apply Sunscreen During the Day Time

Be sure to wear sunscreen. During the trip, reapply sunscreen every few hours and liberally before getting in the car. Furthermore, to prevent direct sunlight exposure on the back of your neck or ears, wear a hat or cap to protect them from the harmful effects of the sun. Don’t forget to take care of those hands! The sun’s rays can cause them to burn quickly if left unprotected for an extended period. 

Drink Plenty of Water During The Tour

Due to the heat, you risk losing track of how much water you drink at Dune Buggy Rental Dubai Adventure. Bring a water bottle with you on your ride instead of trying to estimate how much water you need before you go out on the trails. Remember to drink water regardless of whether you are thirsty!

Although at Enduro Bike Advanture, we always provide our guests with plenty of refreshments at the campsite before and after the tour. Also, there are many stops during the tour where you can refill your water bottles and rest for a bit.

Keep Some Cash on Hand

Bring cash for purchasing souvenirs, photographic prints, and videos from the official camp photographer. Also, having cash on hand, you can buy sunscreen lotion, sunglasses, and hats if you forget to bring them on the tour.

Make Sure You Conduct Adequate Research Before Booking The Tour

Before going on the Dune Buggy Rental Dubai Tour, you must conduct your research. Knowing your limits and researching the risks will assist you in remaining safe. 

Make sure you do not go alone: Have a friend or family member accompany you if you wish to keep yourself safe. Unless they have experience, it is best to wear protective gear if they do not have any prior experience.  

Be prepared: Regardless of the weather conditions in the desert, you should always wear the appropriate clothing on your Desert Buggy Dubai Rental tour. 

Stay on the Designated Path and Avoid Harming Ecosystem

Desert environments are fragile, and deviations from established routes can cause irreparable harm to the ecosystem. Rental companies and guides have found ways to balance travel with conservation efforts. 

Deviating from these trails can damage delicate vegetation, destroy wildlife habitat, and create alternative pathways contributing to erosion. Maintaining marked trails ensures that the natural beauty of the wilderness remains untouched.

Always Keep a Safe Distance Between Other Buggies

Maintaining a safe distance between dune buggies is important to prevent accidents and collisions. There will be plenty of other tourists who like going on adventure sports and have booked the tour. So, if you encounter them during the ride, keep a safe distance between your buggies to avoid any collision. 

As an extra precaution, keep your buggy speed at the appropriate limit so you can slow it down easily. Sometimes, sand can block visibility, especially when ascending or descending from a dune. Further, if you are with your friends, refrain from starting a racing competition for your safety and theirs. 

Drive Carefully on Steep Slopes

When driving on steep slopes, you have to be extra careful. Always maintain a steady climbing speed to prevent the dune buggy from rolling back. The same goes for going down from a slope, having a constant speed, and avoiding sudden braking, which may cause you to lose control of the buggy. 

Listen to the instructions your guide provides, who you will tell regarding how to tackle dune gradients, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

Book Guided Dune Buggy Tour

A guided tour would be beneficial for you. Some guides are familiar with the area, and they can assist you in navigating safely through the desert. Additionally, they ensure that everyone adheres to the same rules. If you have never been on an adventure like this, following someone else is much easier than figuring out where to stand or what’s around.

Be Sure to Pack Some Essential Items For The Tour

It is advisable to always keep a few essential items on hand when going for an adventure in the wilderness. For example, when you go for a dune buggy Dubai trip, keep the following things in your backpack. 

  1. Flashlights 
  2. A compass 
  3. An air whistle 

Flashlights help navigate the area at night if you ever become lost or lose contact with your guide. A compass enables you to find your camp location in the same scenario. A whistle helps you find a lost partner nearby since mobile phone reception in remote areas like the desert is very weak

Check The Weather Forecast

Dubai’s weather can be unpredictable sometimes. Sand storms and extreme heat can affect your safety and comfort. Be aware of the weather forecast and follow the guide’s advice on whether to continue or reschedule the trip. 

Sand storms can severely reduce visibility, making safe navigation difficult. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can occur during extreme temperatures if left unchecked. Check the weather app or news channel to know the weather conditions of the day you want to book the tour. Also, call your rental company one day before the tour to confirm that the weather is okay and there will be no unexpected situations. 

Pay Attention to Your Body Conditions:

Pay attention to your body throughout the tour. The dune buggy tour is very physically demanding, especially when you combine it with the extreme weather conditions of the desert, which can lead to fatigue or discomfort. If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, tired, or unwell, inform your guide immediately. They can investigate the scenario and take suitable action to ensure your well-being.
