Dune Bashing in Dubai: What to Expect and How to Stay Safe
Dune bashing is the highlight of every desert safari. Your driver steers the 4x4 up, down and across the sand dunes, and it feels like a roller coaster with real sand and open sky.
Before the drive, the vehicles stop so the drivers can lower the tire pressure for better grip on the sand. Then the fun begins. Our drivers are licensed and experienced and know the dunes well, so you can relax and enjoy the ride.
“A good dune bashing driver makes it feel wild while keeping everyone safe.”
Safety Tips For Dune Bashing
- Always wear your seatbelt: Keep it fastened for the whole drive.
- Hold on tight: Use the handles and keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle.
- Tell the driver if you feel unwell: Motion sickness can happen, so avoid a heavy meal before the drive.
- Who should skip it: Pregnant women and people with back, neck or heart problems should avoid dune bashing and enjoy the camp instead.
Our team can arrange a gentler drive for families with young children. Just let us know when you book.
