ESA Tours Dune Buggy Dubai is a fully licensed desert adventure operator based at Al Badayer Desert, Dubai, one of the UAE's most dramatic red-sand dune locations. We are part of ESA Tours Company, a registered UAE tourism operator licensed by the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM).
Founded in 2023 by a team of desert adventure enthusiasts, we set out with one mission: to give every visitor to Dubai the most authentic, safest, and most thrilling off-road desert experience possible. Starting with a small fleet of Polaris buggies and a private camp at Al Badayer, we have grown into one of Dubai's most recognised dune buggy operators, earning a 4.7★ Google rating from 500+ verified reviews and recognition on TripAdvisor and Viator.
Today, our fleet includes 100+ of the latest 2025 - 2026 model off-road vehicles, including the Can-Am Maverick, R X and RS, Polaris RZR XP Pro, Polaris 1000cc, and Kawasaki models operated by 20+ DTCM-certified guides with an average of 5 years of desert touring experience.

ESA Tours operates under full regulatory compliance with the UAE tourism law. Below are our verified credentials, the reason why 1,000+ guests have trusted us with their safety in the desert.
Desert adventure is only as good as the people running it. Our team of 20+ DTCM-licensed guides are the heart of ESA Tours. Meet the core team who ensure every guest leaves with long-lasting memories.
Not a conveyor-belt tourist experience, but a real encounter with one of the world's most extraordinary landscapes, in a vehicle you control, guided by someone who knows every dune by name. We measure success by one thing: whether our guests leave wanting to come back.
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.
Every buggy is inspected before every session. Every guide holds a DTCM licence. Every rider receives a full safety briefing. We have never had a serious injury on a tour. That record is our proudest achievement.
We believe the desert experience belongs to you. Self-driving means you control the speed, the line, the moment. Our guides keep you safe, but the steering wheel is yours.
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.
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.
Our guides speak Arabic and English. Our buggies seat 1–4 people. Our tours run from dawn to midnight. Whether you're 16 or 65, solo or with family, first-timer or seasoned rider there is a tour here for you.
