All participants must sign a safety waiver form prior to departure. Carry a valid ID or passport copy for verification and insurance purposes.
  • Driving Conduct In The Desert
    Follow your lead guide at all times never overtake or leave the designated path. Maintain a safe distance between buggies to avoid collisions. Drive at a controlled speed, especially when climbing or descending dunes. Be mindful of the terrain; sudden turns on steep dunes can cause rollovers. No reckless driving or drifting outside the supervised area.

    Alcohol or drug use before or during the ride is strictly prohibited. Pregnant women and guests with heart, back, or neck issues are advised not to participate. Children under 10 years old cannot join as passengers for safety reasons. The maximum weight limit per seat should not exceed the manufacturer’s recommendation (usually around 120 kg).
  • During the Ride

What to Wear on a Dune Buggy Tour in Dubai?

With the intense desert heat and rough terrain, what you wear can make a big difference in your experience. At ESA Tours Dune Buggy Dubai, we want you to enjoy the ride without any discomfort, so here’s a handy guide on the best attire for your desert buggy tour.

  • 01
    Light & Breathable Fabrics for Comfort

    In the desert, staying cool and comfortable is key. Choose light, breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen that allow air to flow and prevent overheating. Lighter colours, like white or beige, are ideal because they reflect heat, keeping you cooler as you ride across the dunes.

  • 02
    Proper Footwear for Safety & Stability

    Closed-toe shoes are a must when taking on the dunes. Opt for sturdy, comfortable shoes like sneakers or hiking boots to give your feet extra support and protection. Not only will these shoes safeguard your feet from the hot sand, but they’ll also provide more stability when navigating the rugged desert terrain.

  • 03
    Sun Protection Gear

    Protecting your face and eyes from the sun is essential in the Dubai desert. Make sure to bring UV-blocking sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to shield yourself from the harsh sun. These items will help keep you cool and comfortable during your dune buggy tour, preventing sunburns and eye strain.

  • 04
    Dust Protection: Scarves & Bandanas

    A scarf or bandana is highly recommended for covering your face. It will protect you from the fine desert dust and flying sand, especially during faster sections of the ride. Not only does it keep you comfortable, but it also ensures that you don’t end up with dust in your eyes or mouth.

  • 05
    Light Jacket or Windbreaker for Evening Rides

    If you’re joining a sunset or evening dune buggy ride, a light jacket or windbreaker will come in handy. The desert tends to cool down significantly as the sun sets, so having an extra layer will ensure you stay warm once the temperature drops.

  • 06
    SGloves for a Better Grip

    Driving a dune buggy can be physically demanding, so having riding gloves is a great way to enhance your grip on the steering wheel. Gloves will also protect your hands from sand abrasions and the intense desert sun, ensuring a more comfortable and secure ride.
