The dune buggy tour Dubai rides are designed to suit every skill level and age group. So it doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or want to bring kids along on off-road rides such as these. You can do so without any concern.
However, there are certain to keep in mind when planning dune buggy rentals Dubai tours such as the age limit to drive a buggy and the safety guidelines to follow. If you don’t know any of these, then be sure to read the following guide that explains all this information in detail.
What is the age limit for Driving a Dune Buggy in Dubai?
According to Regulation No. (4) of 2008 of RTA (Road and Transport Authority), the legal age to drive a dune buggy or any off-road vehicle in Dubai is 16. However, some tour companies might have set their own rules and regulations for driving, and the age limit might vary. So it is better to confirm with the tour company at the time of booking.
Can Kids Ride Dune Buggies?
Yes, kids aged 4-15 can ride dune buggies under the supervision of their parents and guardians. Dune buggies come in 2- and 4-seater buggy models, which makes it easier for kids to ride along and enjoy the tour.
We don’t recommend anyone riding with babies or little kids aged 1-3 years because these desert rides are fast and very bumpy, which is not suitable for kids of this age.
What Safety Tips to Remember for Dune Buggy Rides?
When riding with kids on dune buggies, you must follow safety guidelines to ensure a safe and comfortable riding experience.
1. Wear Safety Equipment
The first and most important thing to remember for a dune buggy ride Dubai tour is to wear the safety equipment provided by the tour company, which includes a helmet, goggles, and gloves, and fasten the seat belts as well.
Kids are not required to wear helmets or goggles because they are riding as passengers, but they should fasten their seat belts. Check before riding the buggy to ensure that the seat belts are securely fastened and that there are no faults.
2. Drive on the Designated Path
Dubai’s desert is very vast, and there is a high chance you might get lost and forget your way back. Therefore, it is important that you drive on the designated route or selected areas as recommended by the tour guide. There are special routes that are developed only for off-road adventures.
Don’t wander too far, especially if you are with the kids because the desert area is sparsely populated and you won’t get any help anytime soon. Save the phone number of your tour guide so you can call him for help in case you get lost.

3. Drink Water at Regular Intervals
The temperature in Dubai’s deserts can easily reach 40-45 degrees Celsius during the daytime, and even in winter, it is around 25-30 degrees Celsius. Driving in these harsh conditions is not easy, and you will likely feel thirsty and dehydrated all the time.
So, we highly recommend drinking water regularly and asking your kids to do the same to feel refreshed and hydrated during the tour. Bring some small snacks, like energy bars, dry fruits, juices, or potato chip bags for kids if possible. Take regular breaks to drink water and eat something to energize the body.
