Weave through the trackless desert and tackle the high and low dunes. Experience the thrill of driving through Dubai’s shifting sand dunes on an adventure safari perfect for the outdoor enthusiast and nature lover. You will be picked up from your hotel in Dubai and transported to the tour starting point, where a professional guide will provide instructions on how to use and control your Quad Bike/Buggy. After being briefed on the rules of off-road driving and issued with safety gear it is time for you to take control of your own automatic quad bike/buggy. Feel the thrill as your guide leads you up and down the challenging sand dunes.

- U7692TAchristineh0 contributionsSandtrax Tours & SafarisHad THE best time on my last day in Dubai, certainly one to remember. Can't recommend this tour highly enough. Manoj was a terrific operator, very friendly and down to earth. Everyone spoke English very well. He picked me up from my hotel on time then one other before heading out to the dunes, about a 1 hour trip. Called into a few highlights for photo opportunities including the President's palace then continued on to the desert. Great conversation on the way with lots of interesting info on Dubai. First an exhilarating 4WD drive over the dunes in an airconditioned Nissan Patrol, a camel ride then quad biking over the dunes. Couldn't wipe the smile from my face had so much fun! Back to Bedouin camp for the sumptuous BBQ buffet dinner, belly dancers and fire show. Amenities were very clean and well maintained. A number of market stalls there to purchase gifts to take home. Free henna tattoo and photo op with a beautiful, well trained falcon. Headed back to hotel around 10pm, didn't want to leave as was such a great day and night. Will do again when I next return to Dubai to stay a lot longer next time. So much to see and do. Thanks Manoj for THE best day EVER!!! You are an amazing host!Written June 25, 2024

- julianaY9396UI0 contributionsTop of tops-Desert SafariI was recommended to use another operator, but they could not give me quad bike in their package. Through viator I stumbled onto SandTrax. Sand Trax were amazing. Go for Chocolate Khan as your driver. Who does not love chocolate? Well you'll love Chocolate Khan evenmore. He was on time, friendly, had a good sense of humour, safe driver, explained all that will happen before hand and was open to/answer all questions. He helped us take photographs, and good ones too. He knew the good spots and poses to go for. He ensured we were well looked after from begining to end. I felt like I had known him for years. All in all an amazing guide/host. Thank you again Chocolate Khan, thank you Sand trax. Needless to say if ever considering Desert Safari in Dubai, go for Sand Trax, and ask for Chocolate Khan to be your driver if offered a chioce.Written August 24, 2023

- Yadira T0 contributionsMagical MemoriesWhere do I start...first, our driver/ tour guide (Chocolate Khan) was AMAZING!!! The trip honestly would not have been the same if we had a different driver/ tour guide. He was funny, kind, knowledgeable, helpful and just a great time! From the moment we got into the car to the time we left the camp, it was a magical experience ✨️The camel riding, ATV riding, Henna tattoos, and live shows were great & all the tour guides were very helpful, taking pictures and videos for us. The food was DELICIOUS! & we found lots of souvenirs for family & friends at the vendors there. We also met some very nice people from all around the world! I am so glad I took my 8 year old son to experience this magical moment!Written April 13, 2023

We had a great morning, first driving the quad bikes was so much fun, then sand-boarding and Carmel ride. Our guide john was great, in the car ride to the desert he informed us with a lot of knowledge on Dubai and the Emirates. Would highly recommend the great experience. The guides took photos of us throughout the experience on my phone which was good we could just enjoy it.

We were picked up by a very friendly driver and taken to the dessert however on arrival, the staff were quite rude.
The main part - the self driving buggy tour was not as expected - for those expecting adrenaline and fast driving this is not for you! We didn’t drive faster than 30km/hour! The tour guide stopped at the bottom of every hill so we had no choice but to go extremely slowly!
Although the staff and driving let the tour down, the evening entertainment, food and experience of being in the dessert was good and the reason for the 2 stars!

We decided to do the buggy self drive as we thought it would be more exciting than being in the 4x4. How wrong were we, as soon as we get to the location we get told a number of rules telling us that all we could basically do is to follow in a line, no sliding/drifting and no hard accelerating. Apparently this is due to regulations and tires popping out of the rim which is obviously a lie as why wouldn’t they apply to the 4x4 dune bashing? Also, I have done this previously in other countries and this has never happened. The guide always stopped at the bottom of every dune to make sure that you had to brake on your way down so that you didn’t go “too fast”.
On a positive note, the driver that picked us up and then dropped us off at the hotel as nice and the food and entertainment was fine as well, although everyone else that we spoke to apart from him seemed arrogant and rude and it felt a bit like a sales pitch.
Overall, if you want a leisurely and calm ride (you will never exceed 30km/h/20mph) then you will probably enjoy it, if you want something more exciting than that, then give it a miss.
