Seven Yamaha and sport quad bikes, from a kids-size trainer for kids to the 700cc Raptor for confident riders, out on Dubai's red dunes with a licensed and insured operator.
7 vehicles · from AED 150 · 30-120 minQuad bike tours at Safari Desert Dubai put you on a self-drive Yamaha ATV, with seven bikes to choose from, a kids-size trainer for kids right up to a 700cc Raptor for experienced riders. Rides run in 30, 60, or 120-minute slots (the 625cc Sport and 700cc Raptor run 1-2 hours only), with a guide riding beside every group. Prices start at AED 150, and secure online advance payment confirms your booking, often the same day.
Kids and teens start on the Kids Quad Bike and COBRA bikes, kept to a controlled 5km riding area so new riders learn the throttle and brakes before anything faster. Older teens and adults move up to the Kymco, Grizzly, Sport 625cc, or Raptor 700cc machines out on Al Lahbab's red dunes, the same stretch of desert we use for our dune buggy and desert safari tours. We're a licensed and insured operator, hotel pickup is available across Dubai from Al Sufouh to Downtown, and you can lock in a time slot over WhatsApp at +971 52 447 2719.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What age does my child need to be for the Kids Quad Bike?
The kids-size Yamaha is built for kids ages 9 to 12, with a smaller frame and gentler throttle response than the bigger bikes. Riders stay inside a controlled 5km riding area, and an instructor rides alongside the entire time, so parents can watch from the sidelines instead of holding a handlebar.
Is the Kids Quad Bike actually safe for a 9-year-old?
Yes, it's built for that age group specifically. The kids-size has beginner-friendly controls and a smaller frame sized for kids, and every young rider stays inside our controlled 5km area with an instructor close by the whole time. It's the safest starting point we offer before anyone moves up to a bigger bike.
Can a 14-year-old ride the COBRA quad bike alone?
The COBRA is built for riders ages 14 to 17, and yes, they ride solo. Controls are straightforward enough for a first-time teen rider to pick up fast, and it stays inside the same controlled 5km riding area with an instructor riding alongside, so teens get real seat time before ever heading onto open dunes.
Do I need previous quad biking experience to book a ride?
No previous experience is needed for the Kids, COBRA, or Kymco quad bikes. Every rider gets a safety briefing before setting off, and these machines are straightforward enough for a genuine first-timer to handle within minutes.
What's the terrain like on the quad bike tours?
The kids' and teens' bikes ride on a controlled 5km area with mostly flat, packed ground, built for learning throttle and brake control. The Kymco and up machines head out onto Al Lahbab's real red dunes, with dips, ridges, and soft sand climbs.
Can a group of friends ride together, or is it one rider at a time?
Groups ride together. Book several quad bikes in the same time slot and your group rides as one pack behind the same guide, which is how most of our birthday and stag bookings come in.
Is safety gear included with the quad bike rental?
Yes. Every rider gets a helmet before starting, fitted and checked as part of the safety briefing. You don't need to bring or rent anything extra to ride.
Is there a weight limit for the quad bikes?
The Grizzly, Sport 625cc, and Raptor 700cc are built to carry heavier and taller riders comfortably. If you're above average weight, mention it when you book on WhatsApp and we'll point you to the right bike.
What's the difference between the Kymco single and the Kymco double seater?
The Kymco single is for one rider who drives solo, while the Double Seater has room for a partner riding behind you on the same bike. Both machines head out onto Al Lahbab's red dunes for the same 30, 60, or 120-minute ride.
How is the Raptor 700cc different from the other quad bikes?
The Raptor 700cc is the most powerful machine in our fleet, built on a sport ATV chassis for riders who already know how to handle a quad. It only runs in 1-2 hour sessions, longer than the shorter bikes, so you get real time to open up the throttle on the dunes.
Can beginners ride the Sport Quad Bike 625cc, or is it only for experienced riders?
The 625cc Sport quad suits riders who already have some quad biking experience, since it's faster and firmer than the Kymco range. If you're new to quads, start on the Kymco and work your way up on a future visit.
Are there quad bike tours near me in Dubai that I can book for the same day?
Yes, we run quad bike tours from our Dubai base with same-day slots often available across all seven bikes. WhatsApp us at +971 52 447 2719 with your preferred time and we'll confirm what's open today.

Quad Bike Tours: The Complete 2026 Guide
Quad biking in Dubai starts from AED 150 per quad for a Kids Quad Bike and rises to AED 795 for the Raptor 700cc, with a helmet, goggles, and a guide included at every level. Sessions run on the Al Lahbab red dunes, about 45 minutes from central Dubai, in 30, 60, or 120 minute slots. Secure online advance payment confirms your booking, with confirmation within 48 hours.

How much is quad biking in Dubai?
Quad biking in Dubai starts at AED 150 per quad for a Kids Quad Bike and runs up to AED 795 for the Raptor 700cc. Every rental includes a helmet, goggles, and a guided ride on the Al Lahbab red dunes.
Here is the full ladder, priced per quad. The Kids Quad Bike costs AED 150 and the COBRA costs AED 200; both are youth machines ridden in a dedicated 5 km area. The Kymco quad, the standard adult quad, is AED 250, and the two-seat Kymco Double is AED 350. Above that sit the bigger engines: the Grizzly at AED 450, the Sport 625cc at AED 700, and the Raptor 700cc at AED 795. Most models book in 30, 60, or 120 minute sessions, while the Sport 625cc and Raptor 700cc are available for 60 or 120 minutes only.
So what does the extra money buy? Power, mostly, and the way that power arrives. A Kymco has enough torque to climb medium dune faces at a relaxed pace, which is exactly what a first-timer wants. The Grizzly adds weight and stability, so it stays planted when the sand turns soft. The Sport 625cc and Raptor 700cc are a different animal: sharper throttle response, firmer suspension, and speed that rewards riders who already know how to read a dune. Bigger engines also open up more of the terrain, since guides can take stronger machines deeper into the dune belt.
Pricing is per machine rather than per person, which keeps the group math simple: four riders on Kymco quads pay AED 1,000 between them, and two people can share a Kymco Double for AED 350. Secure online advance payment confirms your booking, and you will have written confirmation within 48 hours. If you are weighing 30 minutes against 60, remember that the first ten minutes go to settling in, so the hour gives you far more riding for the money. Support runs 24/7 on +971 52 447 2719 if you want help choosing before you pay.
For context, quads are the middle tier of desert driving here. Self-drive buggy tours start at AED 600 per buggy for a two-seat Polaris RZR 1000cc, so a quad is the cheaper way to drive yourself. Going the other way, if you only want a taste of riding inside a bigger day out, our desert safari tours include a morning package with a 30 minute ATV ride for AED 290 per person and an evening version with BBQ dinner for AED 340. Pure riders book the quad; everyone else usually starts with the safari combo and comes back for more.
Which quad bike is right for my age and experience?
Match the engine to the rider: the Kids Quad Bike suits kids aged 9 to 12, the COBRA suits teens 14 to 17, and the Kymco is the adult standard. The Grizzly, Sport 625cc, and Raptor 700cc are for confident and experienced riders.
Young riders get their own machines and their own space. The Kids Quad Bike, recommended for ages 9 to 12, is light, softly powered, and ridden inside a dedicated 5 km area with gentler slopes and marshals nearby at all times. The COBRA quad, recommended for ages 14 to 17, uses the same supervised area but carries enough pace that a teenager feels like a rider rather than a passenger on wheels. Parents can ride their own quads alongside or watch from close range. The youth area is kept separate from the open desert, so adult traffic never crosses paths with the kids.
For most adults, the Kymco quad at AED 250 is the honest answer. It has enough power to be fun on climbs, forgiving handling when the sand gets soft, and it takes the standard 30, 60, or 120 minute sessions, so you can size the ride to your budget and attention span. The Kymco Double at AED 350 puts two people on one machine, which works well for a parent with a younger child who has outgrown watching from the sidelines, or a partner who wants the dunes without the handlebars. The passenger holds on; the rider does the work.
The Grizzly at AED 450 is the step between the standard quad and the sport machines. It is heavier and more sure-footed, with the kind of low-end torque that pulls you up a soft dune face without drama. Riders who have done a quad session before, or who ride at home, tend to notice what the extra AED 200 buys: less wrestling with the machine and more attention left over for the terrain. It also suits bigger adults who find the Kymco a little cramped. If the Kymco is the family sedan, the Grizzly is the well-built 4x4.
The Sport 625cc at AED 700 and the Raptor 700cc at AED 795 are for riders who can honestly call themselves experienced. Both book in 60 or 120 minute sessions only, because half an hour is not enough time to use what they offer. Expect aggressive throttle response, real speed, and a machine that punishes lazy body position on sloped sand. Guides pace the ride to your ability, but they will also quietly move you to something smaller if the machine is clearly ahead of your skill. Not sure where you sit? Describe your riding history to the team on the contact page and they will tell you straight.
What is the difference between a quad bike and an ATV?
There is no real difference: quad bike and ATV are two names for the same four-wheeled machine. ATV, short for all-terrain vehicle, is the American and industry term, while quad bike is the everyday name in Britain and much of the Gulf.
Booking sites use the two words interchangeably, and so do we. ATV stands for all-terrain vehicle, the manufacturer's term for a straddle-seat machine with handlebars and four low-pressure tyres. Quad bike, or just quad, is the name that stuck in everyday speech across the UK, Australia, and the Emirates. When a Dubai tour lists an ATV ride and a quad bike ride at different prices, it is almost always the same category of machine at different engine sizes or durations, not two different vehicles. So if you have been comparing tabs trying to work out which one to book, relax: you were comparing the same thing.
The distinctions that do exist run between types of quad, not between quads and ATVs. Utility quads like the Grizzly are built with strong low-end torque and a planted chassis; they are the farm-and-trail workhorses of the quad world, and that steadiness is exactly what makes them confidence-building on dunes. Sport quads like the Raptor 700cc are lighter, sharper, and tuned for speed. Youth quads like the Kids Quad Bike and COBRA are scaled-down versions with restricted power. Engine size is the number that matters most when you book, because it decides the pace, the feel, and which parts of the desert you can reach.
For renters, the terminology matters even less than it sounds. You are not buying the machine, registering it, or maintaining it; you are riding it for an hour with a guide who knows exactly what it can do. No driving licence is needed because the whole ride happens on private desert terrain, and the briefing covers the controls of the specific model you booked. The questions worth your energy are practical ones: how much engine you want, how long you want to ride, and whether anyone in your group needs the youth area. Get those three right and the naming sorts itself out.
One machine that is a different thing altogether: the KTM 450 dirt bike, which trades four wheels for two and demands proper off-road motorcycle experience in return. Quads sit flatter and forgive far more, which is why they are the default choice for mixed groups and first-timers. There are also side-by-side buggies with roll cages, seat belts, and a steering wheel instead of handlebars, if anyone in your party would rather sit inside something than on top of it. But for the straddle-and-handlebars ride most people picture when they say desert riding, quad and ATV point to the same seat.
Can beginners handle a quad bike on sand?
Yes. Most rental quads use automatic transmission with a simple thumb throttle, and nearly every first-timer is riding comfortably within the first ten minutes. A briefing before you start and a guide alongside you handle the rest.
Every session starts on firm ground with a briefing that assumes you know nothing. The guide walks you through the thumb throttle, the brakes, how to sit, and the hand signals used out on the sand. You do a few slow passes on flat terrain before anyone points a quad at a dune, and the guide watches how each rider handles the machine during those first minutes. There are no gears or clutch to manage on the standard machines, so your attention goes where it should: the terrain ahead. If something feels off, say so; guides adjust the plan for the group all the time.
Sand rewards smoothness. The single most useful habit is keeping the throttle steady, because momentum is what carries you through soft patches, and backing off halfway up a slope is how quads get stuck. Look well ahead rather than at your front wheels, stay off the brakes on loose downhill sand, and shift your weight gently toward the uphill side when crossing a slope. None of this is complicated, and your guide calls the line for you anyway. Ride the first fifteen minutes at the pace the guide sets and you will feel the machine start to make sense underneath you.
You ride in a small convoy with the guide out front, and the pace is set to the least confident rider, never the boldest one. As the group settles, the guide gradually opens things up: longer straights, then rolling dunes, then, for groups that are clearly comfortable, the taller stuff. If a quad bogs down in soft sand, a marshal frees it in under a minute and the ride carries on. Nobody is left to figure things out alone, and nobody gets dragged along faster than they want to go. The structure is the safety system, and it works quietly in the background.
The typical first-timer's arc is predictable: ten minutes of stiff shoulders, then a visible drop in tension, then grinning. This is why we usually suggest the 60 minute session over the 30 for anyone on the fence; by the time a half-hour rider has relaxed, the ride is nearly over. If you are still weighing it, book 30 minutes on the Kymco and treat it as a taster. Plenty of riders come off the sand and immediately ask about the Grizzly for next time. More answers to common first-timer questions live on our FAQ page, or you can simply ask on WhatsApp.
What safety gear do I get with a quad rental?
Every quad rental includes a helmet and goggles, fitted before you ride, plus a safety briefing and a guide who stays with the group. You only need to arrive in closed shoes and clothing you do not mind getting sandy.
The essentials come with every price on the list, from the AED 150 youth quad to the Raptor. You get a helmet fitted to your head, not just handed over, and goggles that seal well enough to keep out the fine red dust that regular sunglasses let through. Kids in the youth area get properly sized equipment rather than shrunken adult gear. The guide checks everyone's fit before the convoy moves, and spare sizes are on hand if something feels loose after the first few minutes. There is nothing to rent separately and no surprise gear charge waiting for you at the desert.
What you bring matters as much as what we hand you. Closed shoes are non-negotiable; trainers are fine, sandals are not. Light long trousers and a breathable long-sleeve top will save your skin from both sun and flying sand, and a buff or cotton scarf worn under the helmet keeps dust out of your nose on windy days. Skip loose scarves or dangling drawstrings that could catch on the machine. Sunscreen on the back of your neck and hands is smart even for late-day rides, and a zipped pocket for your phone will spare you an anxious hour of patting your pockets.
Gear protects you when something goes wrong; the guiding is what keeps things from going wrong in the first place. Marshals ride with every group, spacing rules keep quads from bunching up on climbs, and hand signals give you a simple way to flag a problem without shouting over engines. Guides also read the sand all day long, steering the convoy around the bowls and drop-offs that catch out people who ride these dunes unguided. Follow the line the lead rider takes and hold your position in the convoy, and you inherit their judgment for the whole session. That is worth more than any padding.
One more form of protection worth knowing before you pay: the cancellation terms. Cancel 96 hours or more before your ride and you receive a full refund; between 24 and 96 hours it is 50%; inside 24 hours there is no refund, because your quads and guide are already committed. Groups of four or more riders work on earlier deadlines, with tiers starting seven days out. The full details sit on the refund policy page. If your plans are genuinely uncertain, book the date you are most sure of and move it early rather than late.
Where do the quad bike tours actually ride?
The rides run on the Al Lahbab red dunes, roughly 45 minutes east of central Dubai. Adult riders head into the open desert, while the Kids Quad Bike and COBRA youth quads stay inside a supervised 5 km riding area.
Al Lahbab is the stretch of desert Dubai locals drive out to on weekends, known for sand with a deep rust-red colour that photographs beautifully in low light. The dune belt rolls rather than towers: long ridgelines, scooped bowls, and soft crests that a quad can work through for an hour without repeating itself. This is the same terrain the region's 4x4 safari drivers use, and there is a reason for that. It has enough variety to keep experienced riders interested and enough open, forgiving ground for a first-timer to find their feet. The drive from most central Dubai hotels takes about 45 minutes.
The riding is split on purpose. The youth zone is a marked 5 km area with gentler gradients, firmer lines, and marshals stationed through it, where the Kids Quad Bike and COBRA quads run. Nothing bigger comes through it, so young riders never share sand with fast adult traffic. Adult sessions head into the open desert beyond, where the guide chooses the route on the day based on the group's ability and how the sand is behaving. Stronger groups on bigger machines range deeper into the dune belt; gentler groups work the rolling ground nearer the camp. Two different rides, one location.
The sand itself changes character through the day, which surprises people. In the morning, after a cool night, the surface is firmer and holds a line well, which makes it the easier session for new riders. By late afternoon the top layer has loosened, the dunes push back a little more, and the riding becomes more physical and, for many, more fun. Light matters too: the red in the sand glows deepest in the first and last hours of daylight, which is when most of the photographs you have seen of Al Lahbab were taken. Neither slot is wrong. They are simply different rides.
Because the quads run from the same desert as the rest of our tours, it is easy to build a longer visit around your session. A handler-guided camel ride works well for family members sitting out the riding, and between October and April the hot air balloon flights drift over this same dune country at sunrise, a different way to see the ground you rode the day before. Our office is in Al Sufouh 2, but everything happens out at Al Lahbab. Come for the hour, or make the desert the whole day.

Guide FAQs
Do I need a driving licence to ride a quad bike in Dubai?
No licence is needed. The rides take place on private desert terrain at Al Lahbab, not public roads, so anyone within the age guidance for their machine can ride. You get a full controls briefing before setting off, and a guide stays with the group throughout.
How long does a quad biking session last in the desert?
Most quads book in 30, 60, or 120 minute sessions, so you choose the length that fits your day. The Sport 625cc and Raptor 700cc are the exception, available in 60 or 120 minutes only. Allow extra time either side for gear fitting and the safety briefing.
What happens if my quad gets stuck in the sand?
It happens to plenty of riders and it is a quick fix. A marshal frees the machine, usually in under a minute, and shows you what caught you out so it does not happen twice. Keeping steady throttle through soft patches prevents most of it.
Can I wear glasses under the riding goggles?
Yes, the goggles provided fit over most prescription frames. If your glasses are unusually large, contact lenses are the more comfortable option for the ride. Sunglasses on their own are not a substitute, since fine sand finds its way around them.
Is quad biking in Dubai open during the summer months?
Yes, the quads run all year at Al Lahbab. Through the hottest months, early morning and late afternoon sessions are the comfortable picks, and the team will point you toward them when you book. Bring water and sunscreen whatever the calendar says.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my ride?
Heavy rain and serious sandstorms are rare in Dubai, but if conditions make riding unsafe the team will move your session to another slot that suits you. Support is available 24/7 on +971 52 447 2719 if you want to check conditions before heading out.
Can I combine quad biking with a desert safari?
Yes, and it is a popular way to do it. The morning desert safari with a 30 minute ATV ride costs AED 290 per person with a minimum of two people, and the evening version with BBQ dinner is AED 340. Both wrap dune bashing, sandboarding, and a camel ride around your time on the quad.
How far is the quad biking area from Dubai city?
The Al Lahbab riding area sits about 45 minutes east of central Dubai by road, a little longer from Marina and JBR. The red dunes begin well before you arrive, so the drive out is part of the day.
