Most people who visit Dubai on vacation are likely interested in checking out iconic landmarks around the city, such as Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah. However, they miss out on the beautiful and vast deserts surrounding the city. The best way to explore these deserts is through adventure rides like Dune Buggy Rental Dubai.
Dune buggies are special vehicles designed for driving in tough desert conditions, and they are suitable for every skill level regardless of experience. Even children can come along and enjoy off-road adventures because they are very safe to ride.
Here is a complete guide to everything you need to know about dune buggy tours in Dubai and how to prepare for them. If this is your first time trying such a ride, be sure to read to the end.
What Are Dune Buggies?
Dune buggies are special off-road vehicles built for driving in tough conditions like deserts, beaches, and hills. They come with large tyres, powerful engines, and suspension systems, which make them ideal for driving and exploring the desert terrain. Nowadays, many tour operators offer dune buggies on a rental basis for visitors at affordable rates in Dubai. Since the city is surrounded by a vast desert, these vehicles are ideal for driving in these conditions.
One main advantage of dune buggies is they are completely safe to ride. They are designed with added safety features like roll cages and seat belts that ensure the well-being of the riders. You don’t necessarily have to be an expert to drive them; even a novice person can drive them with little guidance. There are separate guided tours offered just for this reason.
How Do You Book a Dune Buggy Rental Dubai Tour?
If you are interested in driving dune buggies in Dubai, you can easily book a tour with one of the reputable tour operators in the city. Do some online research to look for top-rated companies and visit their website to learn further what they offer and what pricing options they have.
When booking the tour, always read customer reviews and feedback to make an informed decision. If you have chosen a company, finalize your booking on your desired day and time. The early morning and evenings are best for dune buggy Dubai tours since you also get the chance to see beautiful sunset and sunrise views.
An important tip: Don’t always go for cheaper options or new companies if you are booking a Dune Buggy for the first time. If you think you might never get a chance again, it’s best to spend extra money and book the best option you can find.
Understanding Dune Buggy Packages Offered in Dubai
There are numerous packages offered for Buggy rental in Dubai Adventures. They vary depending on time duration, buggy models, and seating capacity. Here is a brief overview of these packages:
Hourly Packages
These packages are suitable for both beginners and expert riders. Most tour operators offer mainly 1,2,3 and 4-hour timings, and costs start from 800 AED and go upto 2000 AED as duration increases. You can take a buggy along the designated route and keep on exploring for as long as you have booked.
Seating Capacities
Dune buggies come in 1,2, and 4-seating capacities, as already discussed, with 1-seater being the cheapest option and 4-seater expensive ones. 1 seater is best for solo tours and 2 for couples or with friends. 4-seater is for groups and family rides; if you are with children and a spouse, then book 4-seaters. The pricing here starts around 800-900 AED and goes to 2500 AED.
Buggy Models
There are specific buggy models reserved for experts and seasonal riders and not suitable for beginners at all. Their packages and costs differ as well. These models have high power engines, and therefore, only an expert can control and drive them. They also cost significantly more when you increase the duration and seating capacity. For instance, the 2-seater and 1-hour of these models cost 1400 AED, and as you increase duration, it goes all the way to 4500 AED, which is almost double.
Guided Tours
For completely novice riders, there is also a guided tour option where an expert guide teaches you all the controls and functions of a dune buggy. Also, as you drive, the guide stays alongside you and assists you in every way possible. Guided tours are a little short, and you only get to drive on easy terrain and can’t go as far as you want to.
At Enduro Bike Advanture, we offer all these tour packages and competitive prices for our customers. If you are a group of 5-6 persons, you might also get a discount as well. Do call us whenever you are in the mood to try something different in Dubai and explore the deserts.
Preparing for Dune Buggy Rental Dubai Adventure
Here are a few tips to bear in mind when preparing for dune buggy rides:
Dressing Properly
Dressing matters a lot when going on a tour of Buggy Rental in Dubai. The tour takes place in the desert, where the environment is harsh and temperature very hot. We recommend wearing something lightweight in which you feel comfortable. Any clothes made from silk and cotton are best.
Keep modesty in mind as well, which is important in Dubai culture, and avoid exposing too much of your body by wearing something inappropriate. Full-sleeve shirts are best since they also protect your skin from harmful sunrays as well. Bring sunglasses and a hat as well for added protection.
Bring A Water Bottle and Small Snacks
As mentioned, the weather will be sweltering hot in the desert; you must also bring a water bottle to drink at regular intervals and keep your hydration levels in check. You can also buy it from local shops using some cash in hand as well.
Alongside water, also bring a few snacks as well, like nuts, dry fruits, or granola bars, since dune buggy rides are physically demanding. Take small breaks during the ride to eat and drink to energize your body so you don’t feel tired.
After the tour is done, you will be served with refreshments at a campsite as well, but these preparations are important to remember during the ride.
Listen Carefully to The Guide
Always pay attention to the instructions given by the tour guide and follow them thoroughly. They will tell you about the guided path to follow, so only drive along that route. Further, they will also provide you with safety equipment such as a helmet, gloves, and footwear that you must wear and don’t take off during the entire duration of the tour.
Safety Tips to Follow for Dune Buggy Tour in Dubai
A dune buggy tour can sometimes be dangerous if you drive recklessly and endanger yourself, so here are some safety tips you must remember:
Drive Responsibly
Always drive with care and be responsible. Follow the safe speed limit mentioned, and don’t drive on challenging paths; if you are a newbie, stick to an easy route. Avoid engaging in racing with other drivers since these tours are not meant for this purpose.
Wear the Protective Gear
Although we have mentioned it before, but we are doing it again to show the importance of this suggestion. Always wear the safety gear you are given prior to the tour, and don’t take it off till you are done with your ride. Further, always check the quality of the equipment and ensure it fits you properly and is neither too loose nor tight.
Inspect Your Buggy for Any Damages
Do a thorough inspection of your dune buggy before the tour starts to confirm that it functions properly and that its brakes and accelerator work correctly. Take it for a short test drive to confirm this. If you do notice any issue in your buggy, discuss it with your tour operator and have them replace it with a new one. Inspect the new buggy again in a similar way.
