More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun hangs low over an ocean of red sand as you ease a two-seat Polaris into a cresting dune. Wind scribbles patterns across the slope while the guide car threads a line of churned tracks — you follow, accelerator ready, helmet on. This private buggy tour runs from a modern basecamp into the Lahbab red dunes, delivering one hour of behind-the-wheel dune time inside a roughly 3.5-hour outing that includes transfers and safety briefing.

History
The Lahbab dunes lie along historical Bedouin routes that became recreational grounds as Dubai developed desert tourism; modern basecamps reflect that recreational shift.
Conservation
Stay on guided tracks and avoid off-route driving — repeated wheel tracks accelerate erosion and disturb fragile dune vegetation and fauna.

Hydrate before you go
Drink water before boarding — desert heat and wind accelerate dehydration even on short tours.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand and shifting footwells make sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes safer than sandals.
Use provided goggles or bring sunglasses
Goggles are issued, but bring polarized sunglasses for downtime at the camp to reduce glare.
Follow the convoy leader
Maintain spacing and obey the guide’s speed instructions to avoid vehicle rollovers or getting stuck.
Closed-toe shoes
Protects feet while entering/exiting the buggy and walking on hot sand.
High-SPF sunscreen
Desert sun is intense year-round; reapply after any time outside the vehicle.
summer
Light wind shell or long-sleeve shirt
Blocks wind chill during morning/evening drives and protects from sand abrasion.
