Quad Bike Dubai — ATV Desert Rides on the Red Dunes

Your first ten minutes on a quad bike

Everyone starts with a briefing on the flat: thumb throttle, right-hand brake, weight forward going up, weight back coming down, and never grab the front brake mid-turn. You then do a short loop on hard-packed sand until you can steer and stop confidently before anyone follows the instructor onto the softer dune tracks. The 350cc automatics have no gears, so if you can ride a bicycle you can ride these. Groups stay small and the instructor rides in front, setting a pace the slowest rider is comfortable with.

• Automatic 350cc for beginners, 700cc for experienced riders
• Thumb throttle and hand brake, no gear changes
• Warm-up loop on hard sand before the dune track
• Instructor leads, small groups, nobody rides alone
• Helmet, goggles, gloves and balaclava provided

Safety rules we do not bend

Riders must be 16 or over to drive; 8 to 15 year olds can ride pillion with a parent on the buggy option instead. Helmets and goggles stay on for the full session. We do not allow riding after alcohol, and we do not permit pregnant guests or anyone with back, neck, shoulder or heart conditions on a quad. Loose scarves, sandals and open shoes are refused because both are a real hazard around a hot exhaust and a live chain. Each machine is checked for tyre pressure, brakes and fuel before every session, and a recovery vehicle stays with the group.

What to wear, and how sandy you will actually get

Wear closed shoes, long trousers and a t-shirt you do not mind losing to fine red dust. Sand gets into everything, so leave watches and jewellery in the car, keep your phone in a zipped pocket and use the balaclava we provide if you wear contact lenses. In winter a light hoodie is enough; in summer we run early morning slots only. There are toilets and a shaded rest area at the track, and we carry cold water for every rider.
