  • Our Vision

    We are building toward operating the UAE's largest private buggy fleet at Al Badayer, introducing electric off-road vehicles by 2027, and expanding our multilingual guide team to serve guests in 10+ languages. Adventure without compromise, for everyone.

  • Our Desert Facilities You

    Our private camp at Al Badayer means no queuing, no crowds, no shared lanes. The same dunes used by Bedouin travellers for centuries, accessed exclusively by ESA Tours guests.

  • Honest Pricing, No Extra Charges

    The price you see is the price you pay. No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons at the camp. Helmet, goggles, guide, refreshments, camel ride, all included. Transparency is a non-negotiable at ESA Tours.
