For thrill seeking visitors and residents of Dubai there are numerous adventure sports in the Desert such as dune bashing, sand skiing, and dune buggy safari.
Sand skiing in Dubai can be done as an additional activity to a desert safari in Dubai as well as an add-on to a dune buggy safari, or even as a standalone activity. Most people prefer to combine all three of these and take a dune buggy safari tour.
The dune buggy safari tours usually start in the morning with a short drive to the Dubai desert where the dune buggy safari operator such as Desert Rangers will have an allocated area suitable for dune bashing. Your desert safari driver will deflate all the tyres of his four wheel drive car and twist and turn around the sand dunes in a skilful manner for a thrilling ride and view of the vast sandy desert.
After the dune bashing on high sand dunes, the desert safari driver will take passengers to the operators dune buggy safari location. Once reaching the dune buggy safari point Desert Rangers for example, will explain the safety features and rules of the dune buggy safari before proceeding to hand over the dune buggy to guests. It is also common for dune buggy safari operators to ask guests to sign an indemnity form and pay a deposit before retrieving the vehicle. Guests should always ensure that they wear the goggles and helmets (provided by the dune buggy safari operator) for additional safety and protection.
Once theses important formalities are complete, guests get to take on the sand dunes and do some dune bashing of their own in their very own dune buggy. It is a different thrill altogether when you actually drive the dune buggy for your very own desert safari adventure. You can learn how to take control of this very different terrain and utilise this skill and memory for a lifetime. It is important to keep a distance between the dune buggies especially when you are doing the safari in a large group which is always more fun.
