Abu Dhabi Dune Buggy Tour

Self-drive dune buggy in Abu Dhabi: what to expect

You drive the buggy yourself. We pick you up from your Abu Dhabi hotel and drive you about 45 minutes to the Al Khatim desert. After a safety briefing, you spend 1 hour driving over the dunes in convoy behind our lead guide. Choose a 2-seat or 4-seat buggy and a morning or evening session. The price is AED 2,200 per buggy for up to 2 people, with hotel pickup and drop-off. You can book it on its own, without a desert safari.
