What Are Dune Buggies?
Dune buggies are special vehicles designed for driving in tough desert conditions for off-roading and recreational purposes. Our regular vehicles like cars, bikes, or buses are not suitable for driving in deserts or similar areas where surfaces can be rough, bumpy, or slippery.
Dubai is surrounded by a vast and beautiful desert terrain which many people love to explore around and see its natural beauty. Besides exploration, these deserts present a perfect opportunity to try and test one’s driving skills on tough and challenging terrain and enjoy a thrilling and adventurous experience.
As a tourist, you can easily rent these buggies from local tour companies here in Dubai at affordable rates. They come in various models and sizes to suit every skill level and individual preference. Check out our ‘Buggy Tour’ service page for more information regarding different buggy models and sizes you can book along with their prices.

5 Helpful Tips For Your Dune Buggy Adventure
Desert adventure tours like dune buggy rides always come with their risks and dangers for which you must always come prepared:
Wear the Safety Equipment Provided
Remember to wear the safety equipment provided by the tour company to protect the body from injuries and bruises in case of an accident. The equipment includes a reinforced helmet, a pair of gloves, and special goggles.
Check the quality of the equipment and make sure it is not defective and fits you properly. If you find such issues ask the tour operator to replace the equipment. For safety tips please read our guide on Tips for a Safe and Fun Journey.
Choose Comfortable Clothes
Comfort is also important to consider when going on dune buggy rides. Since you will be outdoors in the desert where temperatures easily reach 40 degrees and above you must come wearing suitable clothes.
Clothes made from lightweight material cotton or wool are the best choice because they allow easy flow of air and keep you cool. For men, we recommend wearing a full-sleeve T-shirt with trousers or shorts. Women can go for the same combination or choose long skirts that are comfortable and don’t expose the skin too much to the desert.
Pack Essential Items
To explore the Dubai desert in style and comfort then pack some essential items that you might need during the off-road tour. These include sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen lotion to protect the skin from harmful sun rays.
For those going for the first time, we recommend bringing motion sickness medicine because these rides are bumpy and one might feel a little nauseous. So it is important to come prepared. A camera also comes in handy for capturing desert scenery. Buy a small backpack that is easy to carry in the desert where you can put all these items in.
Drink Water
Dune buggy riding is a physically exhausting activity and driving in harsh desert conditions takes a heavy toll on the body. Remember to take small breaks during the ride to drink water and keep your body well-hydrated. Bring a water bottle along before hopping on a buggy and starting your tour. Also pack small snacks like nuts, fruits, or energy bars to keep yourself energized.
Follow Tour Guide Instructions
Always follow the tour guide and do as he says if this is your first time in the desert on a buggy. These guides know very well what goes wrong during the ride and how to ensure that the visitors can enjoy a comfortable and relaxing experience.
They can also teach the basics of buggy control and how to drive it in the desert according to the conditions if you are a beginner.
