Desert & Motor Moderate

ATV / Quad Bike

Ride the dunes on your own on a four-wheeled ATV

Lahbab desert 2 – 3 hours in total (including transfer)

What is this activity like?

A quad bike (ATV) is the easiest way to drive your own vehicle in the desert. Automatic transmission, single-rider, and it takes only a few minutes to learn.

Riding takes place on a marked track accompanied by a guide. Engine sizes range from 200cc to 700cc; 250–350cc is enough for first-timers.

Most safari programmes already include a 20–30 minute ATV segment. Those who want to ride longer book a separate package; helmets and dust masks are provided by the operator.

Highlights

  • Automatic transmission — learn in a few minutes
  • Marked track with a guide
  • 200cc – 700cc engine options
  • Helmet and dust mask included

Participation requirements

  • Usually 16 years and over to ride
  • No driving licence required
  • Ages 12–16 ride a two-seater with a chaperone at some operators
  • Pregnant women and anyone with back/neck problems should not take part

Requirements may vary by operator. If you have any concerns about your health, consult us before booking — we'll choose a suitable alternative together.

Before you go

  • Wear long sleeves — sand and dust are very harsh on the skin.
  • Always wear the dust mask; a neck gaiter (buff) helps too.
  • Keep your phone in a zipped bag, not your pocket; the vibration can shake it out.
