Abu Dhabi Quad Bike Adventure: Morning, Evening or Sunset Ride

Ride your own ATV on a guided 1-hour Abu Dhabi quad bike adventure. Choose a morning, evening or sunset session, with dune bashing, a camel ride, sandboarding, cold drinks and 4x4 transfers from the city.

Our Abu Dhabi quad bike tour puts you in the driving seat of your own all-terrain vehicle for a 1-hour ATV desert adventure ride across the open dunes. A safety briefing comes first, then your guide leads the route and sets a pace that suits the group, so first-time riders and confident drivers can both enjoy the ride.

Unlike a standard desert safari, this tour keeps the focus on riding, with the classic desert safari experiences added around it. An experienced driver takes you dune bashing in a 4x4, you can slide down the slopes on a sandboard, and a short camel ride and cold drinks round off your time in the desert. Pickup and drop-off from Abu Dhabi city are included.

Choose the right session for your quad bike adventure

  • Morning session: ride in clear daylight while the desert is cooler, which suits beginners and families. Private only, with up to 6 guests per vehicle.
  • Evening session: head out in the afternoon as the heat eases, with desert camp activities, dinner and live entertainment included. Choose a shared or private transfer.
  • Sunset session: time your ride for golden hour and watch the sun go down over the dunes. Private only, with up to 6 guests per vehicle.

Whichever session you pick, transport, guiding and refreshments are arranged for you, so you can simply enjoy one of the best ways to see the Abu Dhabi desert: from the seat of a quad bike.
