Overview

This is our best-selling safari. It takes the classic desert evening and gives you a 30-minute ATV quad bike session, so you spend part of the night driving a machine yourself instead of only riding along. The fare is AED 375 per person, and it covers the transfer both ways, the dune bashing, the quad session and the whole camp programme with dinner.

In the afternoon, a shared Land Cruiser picks you up anywhere in Dubai or Sharjah, so there is no transport to sort out. A licensed driver handles the dunes, and during the evening you also get your own quad for half an hour, with helmets and protective gear supplied. Nobody needs a driving licence here, since the quad ground is private desert well away from any public road. After that, the evening carries on at a Bedouin-style camp with tea, camels, henna, the sunset, a big BBQ buffet and stage shows.

Want the same evening without the quad? The AED 240 evening safari with Bedouin BBQ runs the identical camp night. For longer or more powerful rides on another day, our quad biking sessions are booked separately. For everyone who wants both in a single outing, this desert safari with quad bike package keeps it to one booking and one price.

Questions, answered

Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike: questions

Is the quad bike ride included in the AED 375 price?

Yes. On this desert safari with quad bike, the 30-minute ATV ride is part of the AED 375 fare, along with pickup and drop-off, dune bashing, the camel ride, henna, unlimited soft drinks, dinner and all three shows. You do not pay anything extra for the quad, the helmet or the protective gear.

Do I need a driving licence to ride the quad?

No licence is needed. The quad area is private desert with no public roads, and our team gives you a helmet and protective gear before you start. You ride your own quad for 30 minutes. Closed-toe shoes are a good idea, so leave sandals at the hotel.

What is the difference between this safari and the AED 240 one?

The only difference is the 30-minute quad bike ride. Both trips have the same afternoon pickup, the same dune bashing, the same camp with a camel ride and henna, the same BBQ buffet and the same three shows. Pick AED 240 if you only want to ride along, or AED 375 if you also want to drive.

Can children come on this evening safari?

Yes, the safari welcomes guests from age 2. Toddlers aged 2 to 3 travel free, kids in the 5-11 bracket are charged a child rate, and from 12 up the full fare applies. If a child hopes to ride the quad too, send us their age first and we can advise.

Does pickup time change with the season?

Yes. Between October and March we collect you from 2:45 to 3:30 PM. Between April and September, pickup shifts to 3:45-4:30 PM. You are back home by roughly 9:30-9:45 PM whatever the month, and we confirm your exact time the afternoon before.

Any clothing tips for the quad ride?

Wear light clothes and closed-toe shoes, which you need for the quad. We supply the helmet and protective gear for the ride. Sunglasses and something to cover your head help on the dunes, and a light layer is useful at the camp, as the desert cools fast once the sun goes down.
