Navigating the Dunes: Tips for a Safe and Exciting Dune Buggy Rental Dubai

A dune buggy rental in Dubai can be one of the most thrilling adventures you’ve ever experienced. As a preparation for this journey, we will explain 18 tips to keep you safe and make your tour comfortable.

• Route Selection For Your Dune Buggy Tour

The safari routes and tracks offered in Dubai are diverse. First-time dune buggy users should choose an easy route instead of a difficult one; an easy route is usually the shortest, with less bumpy terrain where you can easily maneuver a buggy without difficulty. However, you might enjoy the most from a challenging route if you are willing to take risks. 

Enduro Bike Adventure is the best way to experience the vast deserts of Dubai. As part of our service, we will supply all the necessary equipment and a knowledgeable guide so that you have an enjoyable tour.

• Be Sure to Pack Water Bottles

Due to the exhausting nature of dune buggy riding, staying hydrated is also of utmost importance. Therefore, you must consume plenty of water to remain hydrated. Drinking more water will enhance your energy level. As the adventure takes place in Dubai’s hot desert climate, you will likely sweat a great deal during the ride. It would be best always to carry a water bottle when you are on the go.

At Enduro Bike Advanture, we will provide plenty of refreshments on the trip as part of our package. There will be plenty of stops on the tour to get refreshments, so remember to keep some spare change of money. If you feel thirsty during the tour, ask our tour guide to provide water.  

• Avoid Eating Heavy Food Before The Ride

Avoid eating anything heavy before the trip so you don’t upset your stomach, which may result in vomiting. Since dune buggy rides are bumpy, having a heavy stomach may make you feel nauseating and ruin your trip, and nobody wants that. 

• Wear the Appropriate Safety Equipment 

Wearing safety gear and appropriate clothing is essential during the tour. First and foremost, the wearer of a helmet should ensure that it properly fits their head without causing any discomfort. Furthermore, consider knee pads if your buggy rolls over in an accident. As a third precaution, you should use sunglasses to protect your eyes from flying dust and to prevent sunlight from entering your eyes.  

It is also necessary to wear gloves during the summer months in the Dubai Desert to prevent skin burns caused by the heat. We will provide you with all of the safety equipment for the tour, and you can always inspect it to ensure it fits you properly and has no faults in it. If you want us to replace the equipment, we will gladly do so.

• Wear Comfortable Clothing

Always wear appropriate clothing to enjoy your dune buggy Dubai tour safely and comfortably. You must dress accordingly since you are driving in a hot desert climate. We recommend wearing lightweight long-sleeved shirts to protect your arms from harmful sun rays. 

You may also wear a bandana to protect your face and mouth from flying sand during the ride. Further, you can wear log-toed shoes to prevent sand from getting on your feet. 

• Drive Carefully So You Don’t Collide With Other Drivers

Another important safety tip is keeping safe from fellow dune buggy riders during your tour. You must understand that you are not the only one who booked the tour. Many others like you will love to go on adventurous and daring trips. 

That’s why always carefully drive while you are in the field, and if you see other buggies approaching near you, slow down your buggy to avoid any fatal collisions. Desert terrain is rough, and braking a fast-moving buggy might be difficult, but you can easily do it with little practice and patience. Our next tip might help you slow down your buggy easily.

• Drive The Buggy at a Safe Speed

To remain safe, driving your dune buggy within the speed limit is very important. A speed limit lets you easily handle your buggy at sharp turns and slow down when needed. You can ask our tour guide for more information if you need to know about the speed limit. 

Also, regardless of buggy, any vehicle you drive at a proper speed keeps you safe from injury and accidents. 

• Follow the Instructions of The Tour Guide

There are irregular tracks in the desert, and it is possible to become lost, so you should closely follow the directions provided by our instructors. We have well-experienced and professional tour guides with more than ten years of experience guiding tourists on dune buggy rides, and they know everything that might happen on tour along with the tour paths, so always follow their guide.  

By following their instructions, you can avoid potentially hazardous situations and have a safe and enjoyable adventure.

• Protect Your Skin From Harmful Sunrays

To protect yourself from harmful sun rays, bring sunblock for your dune buggy rental Dubai since you will spend several hours in the desert.

Sunscreen lotion is also helpful to protect your skin against ultraviolet rays and prevent sunburn. Apply it throughout the day of your tour.  

You should also carry a water bottle as it will be very hot out in the desert, and you may get dehydrated if you are not prepared (we have discussed this already, but mention it again so you remember). A hat and sunglasses also help reduce the sun exposure you receive.
