 What to Bring for the Buggy Tour in Dubai?

Here’s exactly what I advise every guest before starting their dune buggy adventure. Bringing the right items makes your ride safer, more comfortable, and a lot more enjoyable.

---

 Recommended Items to Bring

These items ensure you stay comfortable and prepared throughout the tour:

• Sunglasses
Helps protect your eyes from sand, dust, and bright desert sunlight, especially during daytime rides.

• Comfortable Clothing
Light, breathable outfits are ideal. The desert can get warm, and you’ll want to move freely during the ride.

• Closed Shoes (Essential!)
Mandatory for safety. Closed shoes protect your feet from hot sand, stones, and the buggy's moving parts.

• Phone or Camera
You’ll want to capture the red dunes, photo stops, and your adventure moments. A small strap or holder is recommended.

• Sunscreen
The desert sun is strong. Apply sunscreen to avoid sunburn, especially on morning and afternoon tours.

Items NOT Allowed or Not Recommended

To ensure safety and compliance with UAE regulations, these items are restricted:

• Alcohol Before the Ride
Strictly prohibited. Riders under the influence are not permitted to participate due to safety laws and operator policy.

• Loose Bags
Avoid handbags or sling bags that may fall off or get in the way during the ride. Carry only essentials.

• Children Below Minimum Age
Each operator has age limits, usually age 16+ for driving and age 10+ for passengers. Younger children are not allowed for safety reasons.
