A Real Self-Drive Adventure
Unlike dune bashing where our driver is behind the wheel, the dune buggy puts you in control. It's one of the most requested upgrades from returning guests who want to actively drive the dunes themselves.
How the Dune Buggy Abu Dhabi Session Works
After hotel pickup, you arrive at the Al Khatim desert and meet your instructor. There is a safety briefing, helmets on, then a short practice run to learn the controls. Your 30-minute self-drive session follows the instructor across the dunes, and afterwards you join the desert camp for the BBQ dinner and live shows.
Safety Gear and Briefing Included
Every driver and passenger gets a helmet and a full briefing before starting. The buggies are automatic with simple controls, so there is no clutch or gears to worry about. Your instructor rides ahead and sets a pace that suits you.
Buggy or Quad Bike — Which Should You Pick?
The buggy seats two side by side with a roll cage, so it suits couples and anyone who prefers a steering wheel over handlebars. Quads are a solo, sportier ride. Our dune buggy vs quad bike comparison explains the differences in detail.

The 2 seater buggy is AED 900 per buggy for the full package, including transfers and the evening camp. Message us on WhatsApp to book, pay on the day, and cancel free up to 24 hours before pickup. See our latest offers or contact us with any questions.
