Is a quad bike included in a desert safari in Dubai?

Not in every safari. The quad bike is part of the package only when the product name says so. Dune Buggy Rentals Dubai sells two shared safaris that include a 30 minute ATV ride: the Morning Desert Safari + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike and the Evening Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike.

The plain versions, the Morning Desert Safari With Land Cruiser 4X4 and the Shared Classic Evening Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner, do not include an ATV. Neither do the private safaris sold per car. If the quad matters to you, check the name of the package before you book.

What does each desert safari with quad bike include?

Morning Desert Safari + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike

This is the morning package with the ATV added. You get hotel pickup in Dubai, the Land Cruiser 4X4 safari and a 30 Min ATV Quad Bike ride. It is priced per person: AED 290 per adult and AED 285 per child (5 to 11).

There is no BBQ dinner and there are no shows in the morning package. That keeps it simple and leaves the rest of your day free.

Evening Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike

This is the evening package with the ATV added. You get hotel pickup (from Dubai hotels, and from Sharjah too), the desert safari, a BBQ dinner, the live shows and a 30 Min ATV Quad Bike ride. It is priced per person: AED 375 per adult (12+) and AED 340 per child (5 to 11).

The show acts are belly dance, fire show and tanoura. If you want the full evening in the desert with a meal included, this is the package that covers it. The details are on the Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike page.

What the facts do not cover

Some details are not listed for these packages, so this guide does not guess at them. That includes safari start and end times, the exact quad model used for the 30 Min ATV ride, and how long each part of the programme lasts. If any of these matter for your plans, ask the team when you book.

Desert safari with quad bike price: how do the options compare?

Here is every safari option side by side, with the exact prices and units.

The adult prices for the evening packages apply from age 12. Child prices apply to ages 5 to 11. Each price stands on its own with its unit, so compare like with like: per person against per person, per car against per car.

Morning or evening desert safari in Dubai: which suits you?

Choose the morning package if

• You want the ATV ride and the 4X4 safari without a long evening out.
• You plan to spend the afternoon or evening on something else in the city.
• Dinner in the desert is not a priority for your group.
• You prefer the lower per person price of the two ATV packages (AED 290 per adult, AED 285 per child).

October to April is the main season. For self-drive rides in summer, the site points riders to the earliest morning slots, so early starts are worth keeping in mind if you add riding time.

Choose the evening package if

• You want one booking that covers the safari, the ATV ride, a BBQ dinner and the shows.
• You are staying in Sharjah, since evening safaris also pick up from there.
• The show programme of belly dance, fire show and tanoura appeals to your group.

Morning desert safari with quad bike vs the safari without the ATV

The Morning Desert Safari With Land Cruiser 4X4 costs AED 225 per adult and AED 210 per child, with pickup included. The Morning Desert Safari + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike costs AED 290 per adult and AED 285 per child, with pickup included.

If nobody in your group wants to ride a quad, the plain morning safari covers the Land Cruiser 4X4 and the pickup. If at least one person is keen on the ATV, the morning package with the quad saves you arranging a separate session and a separate transfer.

Evening desert safari with ATV vs the classic evening safari

The Shared Classic Evening Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner costs AED 240 per adult (12+) and AED 225 per child (5 to 11). It includes pickup, the BBQ dinner and the shows. The Evening Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike costs AED 375 per adult and AED 340 per child, with the same pickup, dinner and shows plus the 30 Min ATV Quad Bike.

Both evening options pick up from Dubai hotels and from Sharjah. If you want to know how the evening pickup works in practice, read how evening desert safari pickup works.

What about families and child prices?

Both ATV packages have child prices for ages 5 to 11:

• Morning Desert Safari + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike: AED 285 per child.
• Evening Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike: AED 340 per child.

The plain safaris have child prices too: AED 210 per child for the morning and AED 225 per child for the evening.

The packages list a child price, but they do not spell out how the 30 Min ATV ride works for younger guests. If you are booking for children, ask the team how the ATV part is arranged for them before you pay.

For standalone quad sessions the rules are clearer. The Kids Quad Bike Single Seater (90 CC) is for the fenced area only, with ages 9 to 12 recommended. The COBRA Single Seater Quad Bike (220 CC) is also fenced area only, with ages 14 to 17 recommended.

Private safari per car vs shared seats

A private safari gives your group its own car. Prices are per car for up to 6 guests, and pickup is included:

• Private Morning Desert Safari With Land Cruiser 4X4: AED 799 per car.
• Private Evening Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner: AED 1,400 per car, with the BBQ dinner and shows.

The private safaris are not listed with a 30 Min ATV Quad Bike. If the quad is a must for your group, the shared ATV packages are the ones that include it, or you can book a standalone quad session on another day.

A private car suits a group that wants to travel together without other guests in the vehicle. Shared seats suit couples, solo travellers and small groups who are happy to share the 4X4. For the private evening option, see the private evening desert safari page.

Should you book a standalone quad session instead?

Sometimes yes. A safari package gives you a 30 Min ATV ride as one part of the day. A standalone session gives you a choice of quad and a choice of ride length, but it is a separate booking with its own transfer.

How standalone quad sessions work

• Prices are per quad bike, not per person.
• Sessions start every 30 minutes from 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM, daily.
• No driving licence is needed, because rides run on private desert terrain outside Dubai, not public roads.
• Quad riders get a helmet and gloves, and every rider wears a helmet.
• No quad bike price includes pickup.

When a standalone session makes more sense

• You want more than 30 minutes on a quad, or a specific machine such as the Yamaha Grizzly Quad Bike.
• Two of you want to share one machine on the Double Seater Quad Bike.
• You have children in the recommended age range for the Kids Quad Bike or the COBRA in the fenced area.
• You already have a safari booked and only want to add riding time on another day.

If you are still weighing up a quad against a buggy, the guide to choosing between a dune buggy and a quad bike covers that choice.

How do transfers and pickup work?

Safaris

Every safari in this guide includes pickup. The shared and private safaris pick up from Dubai hotels, and evening safaris also pick up from Sharjah. Ask the team for your pickup time when you book.

Standalone quad sessions

A quad bike price never includes pickup. You have three ways to get there:

• A sharing transfer at AED 175 per person, for two or more guests from one pickup point.
• A private car at AED 450 for 5 to 6 guests.
• Meet on site, with the location emailed to you after booking.

With a transfer, pickup is 1 hour before your start time. When you compare a standalone session with a safari package, remember that the session and the transfer are two separate prices with their own units.

What should you wear and bring?

Closed-toe shoes are required for rides. Sandals and flip-flops are not allowed. Wear shoes you are happy to get sandy, and clothes you can move in comfortably.

For standalone quad sessions, quad riders get a helmet and gloves. Every rider wears a helmet for the whole ride. If you also book a self-drive buggy, each rider gets a helmet and goggles, and the buggy ride includes fuel, a safety briefing, a guide and unlimited mineral water.

Health: what should you know before you book?

A desert safari is a physical day out, and dune bashing is a rough ride. Quad riding is physical, too.

Dune Buggy Rentals Dubai does not say that safaris, quads or dune bashing suit anyone who is pregnant, has a heart, back or neck condition, or has had recent surgery. This guide gives no medical advice. If you have any health concern, see a doctor before you travel, and tell the team about any condition when you book.

Booking, payment and cancellation

Payment

You pay by Visa or Mastercard in AED, in full when you book online, with no card processing fee. Your booking confirmation arrives by email.

Cancellation for bookings of fewer than 4 guests

• Cancel 96 hours or more before departure for no fee, refunded less a 5% processing fee.
• At least 48 hours before, a 50% fee.
• Under 24 hours, a 100% fee.

Cancellation for bookings of 4 or more guests

• Cancel 7 days before departure for a 50% fee.
• 5 days or less before departure, the fee is 100%.

Other points

Refunds go to the original card within 7 to 10 business days. Cancel by email only, because the time the email arrives sets the fee. A move to another date is free, subject to availability. If the team cancels for weather, you get a refund less 5% or a new date. The full terms are on the cancellation policy page.

Planning tips for a desert safari with quad bike

• Pick the time of day first. Morning or evening is the main decision. The ATV ride comes with either package.
• Check the package name. Only the packages with "+ 30 Min ATV Quad Bike" in the name include the quad.
• Book in the main season if you can. October to April is the main season. In summer, the site points riders to the earliest morning slots.
• Count your group by age. Adult prices start at 12 and child prices cover ages 5 to 11. Ask about the ATV arrangement for children before you pay.
• Think about group size and cancellation. Bookings of 4 or more guests follow a different cancellation scale from smaller bookings.
• Plan transfers for standalone sessions. If you add a separate quad session, budget for the AED 175 per person sharing transfer, the AED 450 private car, or getting to the emailed meeting point yourself.
• Declare health conditions. Tell the team about any condition when you book, and see a doctor first if you are unsure.

In short

For a desert safari with quad bike in Dubai, the evening package (AED 375 per adult, AED 340 per child) adds a BBQ dinner and shows to the 4X4 safari and the 30 Min ATV ride. The morning package (AED 290 per adult, AED 285 per child) keeps it shorter and leaves your evening free. Both are per person with pickup included.

Choose the plain safari if nobody wants the quad, a private car (priced per car for up to 6 guests) if your group wants its own vehicle, or a standalone quad session if you want more riding time and are happy to arrange a transfer.
