Is dune bashing safe in Dubai?
Yes, dune bashing in Dubai is generally safe when undertaken with adherence to safety guidelines. Dubai's tourism industry prioritizes visitors' well-being, so you can trust that experienced guides, high-quality equipment, and controlled environments are standard practice for reputable operators. However, like any activity with inherent risks, safety is always your top priority.
The desert awaits, hassle-free! Most packages pick you up and drop you off right at your hotel. Here's your guide to reaching the dune-bashing hotspots and preparing for an epic day (or night) in the sand:
Locations:
Lahbab Desert: Renowned for its towering dunes and challenging terrain, Lahbab is a paradise for experienced riders.
Al Aweer Desert: Closer to the city, Al Aweer offers moderate dunes and convenient access, perfect for beginners or families.
Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve: This eco-friendly option combines dune bashing with wildlife viewing and conservation initiatives.
Standard sessions last around 15-20 minutes, while premium options offer extended dune-bashing adventures of around 35 to 40 minutes.

Opt for a light breakfast or pre-dinner snack. Heavy meals might make you queasy during the ride.
