Before booking

Which option to choose

How the outing is split

The tour uses two vehicles. You ride the quad for 30 minutes over climbs and descents, then switch to a 4x4 for a dune ride of 30 to 45 minutes. After that there is time for the sunset, a go at sandboarding and a short camel ride.

Who it suits and what you sign

The listing states a minimum age of 16 and says it is not wheelchair accessible. You get a helmet and goggles, a short explanation of how to drive the quad, and you sign a liability waiver before riding. If you want something calmer, a 4x4 safari without driving suits better.

Pickup, language and cancellation

According to the listing, hotel pickup and drop off covers Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and the Port Rashid Cruise Terminal. Four properties (Al Maha Resort, Bab al-Shams Hotel, Lapita Resort and Jebel Ali) pay a supplement for pickup. The provider contacts you to confirm the exact time and the guide speaks English. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.
