Are you planning to go on a Quad biking Dubai adventure tour with your friends and loved ones? Well, if you are, then be sure to come prepared properly to deal with the harsh desert conditions you might face here.
Quad bike rides offer one of the most exciting and fun ways to explore Dubai’s beautiful deserts and are suitable for all skill levels. Still, it comes with challenges that you must be aware of. One of these challenges is wearing the right and appropriate clothes.
Many people who have never been on such desert rides don’t know what dress code to follow. To help with that, we have written this brief guide explaining what dress/clothes are best for this activity that can help you stay comfortable and safe.
Weather of Dubai
First, you need to understand the weather conditions in Dubai in order to dress accordingly. The weather here is generally very hot, with temperatures ranging between 37-45 degrees Celsius in the summer months. Even in winter months which are the most suitable time to visit the city, the temperature remains warm with the highest being around 30-32 degrees Celsius. Therefore we must dress in loose-fitting, lightweight and comfortable clothes that keep us cool in these conditions.
Dressing Code for the Quad Biking Dubai Activity
Follow these guidelines on what to wear for the quad-biking Dubai tour:
1. Shirt/Tops
For tops, we recommend wearing long-sleeved shirts made from cotton and linen materials that can keep us cool by allowing easy airflow. Moreover, these shirts also protect our arms from harmful sun rays. Women can wear a blouse that covers the body and provides protection from sun rays.
2. Pants/Trousers
Pair your shirt with long pants or trousers when going on desert rides. You can also wear shorts for more comfort. Remember that the desert environment is full of dust and sand, so unless you don’t have any concerns about them sticking to your legs, wear shorts.
3. Bandana/Scarf
Also, bring a bandana or a scarf to cover your face and head from the flowing dust/sand in the desert. You can even purchase one from local shops in the desert if you don’t own one.
4. Sunglasses and Hat
Further sunglasses and a hat also come quite in handy for providing cover to your face and eyes against the bright desert sun. These tours are best enjoyed during the daytime so therefore having such items makes the experience more comfortable and relaxing.
5. Footwear
As far as footwear is concerned, we recommend wearing closed-toed shoes or any other item that fully covers the feet and protects it from hot desert sands that can result in blisters or infections. Avoid wearing sandals or flip-flops because they don’t provide enough protection.
Other Items to Wear for the Quad Biking Tour
Besides the general dress code that we have discussed, there are some other items you must wear on your quad biking tour, such as:
1. Safety Equipment
Safety is very important to consider when going on quad biking tours. Driving quad bikes in challenging desert areas always poses a risk of accidents and mishaps that can result in fatal injuries or bruises. Therefore, it is important to wear the safety equipment provided by the tour company, which includes a helmet, a pair of gloves, and goggles.
If you like the equipment that doesn’t fit properly, then ask the tour guide for a replacement, but it is a must thing to wear when riding a quad bike.

2. Sunscreen Lotion
As mentioned already, the desert sun is unbearably hot, and if you are not accustomed to these conditions, you might develop skin conditions. People who are not wearing full-sleeve shirts or long pants then must apply sunscreen lotion to their arms and legs to protect them from UV sun rays. You can also purchase the lotion from local shops in the desert using cash.
3. Jacket/Sweater
If you are planning for a nighttime quad bike Dubai tour in winter, then bring some jackets or sweaters because it gets cold here at night after sunset.
Conclusion
These are the important dressing details you must remember for the quad biking Dubai tour. The main thing is to wear lightweight and comfortable clothes that can keep you cool and comfortable.
