Description

Enjoy an epic experience in the Dubai desert aboard a Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo dune buggy. Fully automatic gearbox and 4WD: there is nothing to shift and the engine cannot stall, so first-time drivers are up to speed within minutes of the briefing.

Please note the price is per buggy, not per person. One booking gives you the whole machine, and a two-seater carries a driver and a passenger for the same price.

You drive. Our guide leads the convoy across the open dunes of Big Red, Pink Rock and the Valley of a Thousand Dunes, setting the pace to your group. Every buggy has a full roll cage, doors and four-point harnesses, and all protective gear is provided.

Why travellers choose Big Red: more than 95,000 desert adventures since 2016, 5.0 stars from over 17,000 reviews across Google and Tripadvisor, a Travellers' Choice 2026 winner, and a licence from the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism. Our fleet is the latest Can-Am and it is maintained by the same team that rides alongside you.

Choose a 1-hour or 2-hour session. Free hotel pick-up and drop-off in central Dubai is included, along with refreshments and a sandboarding stop on a high dune.

Good to know before you go
  • Self-drive dune buggy tours are an adventure activity taken at your own risk. The activity provider's insurance does not cover damage to the vehicle: any accidents or damage are the responsibility of the driver. International travel insurance is recommended, as self-drive activities carry a risk of injury.
  • Drivers must be 18 or older. Passengers are welcome from age 8, minimum height 110cm.
  • Prices are per buggy, not per person. Seats depend on the option you choose: Single Rider seats one driver, the 2-seat option seats a driver and one passenger, the 4-seat option seats a driver and up to three passengers.
  • The tour includes hotel pick-up 1 hour prior to the session.
  • Guests are advised to wear comfortable casual or sports attire like trainers, shorts and a t-shirt.
