Dubai Desert Safari - Off Road Driving





Off-road drives are travelled by vehicles designed specifically for off road driving. ATVs, heavy-duty pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), quad bikes, dune buggies and 4x4 vehicles such as Land Cruisers, Range Rovers and GMCs are utilized. There is no specific make or model which needs to be used, however what is important is that whichever vehicle is utilized, they must be safety fitted. On a usual Dubai Desert Safari tour operators utilize Land Cruisers and Hummers, due to their suitability for the sandy dunes. As per their experience they do not utilize high speeds in the desert because it is difficult to utilize brakes in the sand.


When you utilize your brakes in the sand your tires sink in and you become stuck. The Dubai Desert Safari vehicles are security fitted with roll cages to prevent the roof from caving in on passengers in case of an over turn.
