Quad Biking

Single Seater Quad Bike

Take your own quad out onto the open red dunes near Al Awir with a guide leading the way — no fenced loop, just real desert riding, from AED 250 for a guide-led 30-minute ride.

30 / 60 / 120 min Guide-led Ages 16+ Al Awir, Dubai

Overview

The Single Seater Quad Bike ride puts you on the open red dunes near Al Awir rather than a fenced practice track, with a guide leading the whole route. Thirty minutes runs AED 250, and longer 60 and 120-minute options are available if you want more time in the sand — every ride includes unlimited mineral water and a guide riding alongside your group.

Each quad seats one rider, so you're working the throttle and brakes yourself rather than sharing a machine with anyone. A helmet, goggles and gloves are handed out before you set off, and the guide runs through the basics — throttle, brake, body position on the dunes — before everyone heads out together onto the open sand.

Questions About This Tour

Do I need a driving licence to ride the single seater quad bike?

No driving licence is required. The quad ride is guide-led on the open desert, and your guide runs through the throttle, brakes and dune riding basics before the group sets off together.

What's the minimum age to ride the single seater quad bike?

Riders should be at least 16 to control a quad on their own. Younger children are welcome to come along to the desert start point and watch, but they won't be able to ride solo.

How long does the single seater quad bike ride last?

The AED 250 price covers a 30-minute ride, and longer 60 and 120-minute options are available for guests who want more time in the dunes — just ask us on WhatsApp for pricing on those.

What should I wear for a quad bike ride in the desert?

Closed, sturdy shoes are a must — sandals and flip-flops aren't allowed on the quad. Light, comfortable clothing works well, and we provide a helmet, goggles and gloves so you don't need to bring your own.

Is this a fenced track or an open desert ride?

This package rides the open red dunes near Al Awir rather than a fenced practice track, with your guide leading the group the whole way. Our COBRA Single Seater Quad Bike package runs on a fenced area if you'd rather start on a smaller course.

Loved having full control on my own quad instead of sharing with someone else, the open dunes felt much bigger than a fenced track.

Guide walked us through the controls before we even got on the bike, felt confident within five minutes.

Booked the 60-minute upgrade and it was worth every extra dirham, way more dune time than the standard slot.

Gloves and goggles were a nice touch, kept the sand out of my eyes for the whole ride.

My teenage son rode his own quad for the first time and the guide never let the group get too spread out.

Single seater meant no waiting for a turn to drive, everyone in our group had their own bike.
