About this experience

A single seater quad is the simplest way to feel the desert. There is one seat, one throttle and a wide stretch of sand, and you ride it yourself.

This is the open deep desert ride, so you go out beyond the practice area into proper dune country near Al Khatim. A guide leads the group, stops when you need a break, and keeps the pace sensible for the least experienced rider.

Three lengths are on offer. Thirty minutes is a good first taste at AED 450. An hour at AED 550 is where most people end up, because the extra AED 100 buys double the time. Two hours at AED 950 is for riders who want to go further out and stop for photos.

How it works

  1. Arrive and get kitted out

    Meet us at the desert meeting point near Al Khatim, or use the private pickup from Abu Dhabi. Helmet and goggles are fitted on the spot.

  2. Safety briefing and training

    A short hands-on briefing covers throttle, brakes, body position and turning on sand. No experience is needed.

  3. Practice run

    A supervised practice lap on flat sand gets you comfortable with the quad before heading into the open desert.

  4. Guided ride in the open desert

    Your guide leads the group across the dunes at a pace that suits the slowest rider.

  5. Photo stops

    We pause at good viewpoints so you can take photos without rushing.

  6. Return

    Back at the meeting point, or onwards with your private pickup.

Questions about the Single Seater Quad Bike (Open Deep Desert)

AED 450 for 30 minutes, AED 550 for 1 hour and AED 950 for 2 hours. Each price is for one rider on one quad.

Yes. A short briefing and a practice run come first, and the guide adjusts the pace to the least confident rider.

No special licence is needed. Riders must be 16 or older to ride solo.

It means you ride out into the wider dune area near Al Khatim instead of staying on a small track. Children use the separate fenced-area quad instead.

No, these are single seaters. Two people each take a quad, or one rides a buggy.

One hour is the sweet spot for most riders: enough time to get confident and see more of the desert. Choose 2 hours if you want a long ride with photo stops.

A little, mostly when you follow other riders. A scarf over your nose and mouth helps, and goggles are provided.

Yes, a private round trip pickup and drop-off is AED 550 per car for 5 to 6 people.
