What You Need to Prepare For A Nighttime Dune Buggy Ride Dubai?

Remember these 7 tips when preparing for an off-roading trip at night in Dubai:

• Booking and Confirmation of Ride

Please ensure that you have confirmed your booking with the tour company about the exact time and date. It’s better to book a buggy ride in advance, especially during the peak tourist season, usually winter.

If you have added a pick-and-drop service from the city, be sure to confirm the pickup timing and location as well. The cost for dune buggy rides in Dubai varies according to the time duration and model of the vehicle. So remember to book a trip that meets your group preferences. If you are with a family then a 4-seater buggy is the best choice.

• Wear Proper and Comfortable Clothes

Since you’ll be off-roading in the desert at nighttime, you must wear appropriate clothes in which you feel comfortable. Wear lightweight and comfortable clothes. Men can wear shorts or trousers, which offer comfort when driving a buggy and women can wear long skirts or long-sleeved tops. Nights usually get cold, so bringing a jacket, sweater, or shawl is better.

As far as footwear is concerned, you are advised to wear closed-toe shoes to prevent injury and to maintain a firm grip on the pedals and sand. Since it’s night, you don’t need to worry too much about the sun or heat.

• Inspect Your Buggy

You must inspect your buggy for a nighttime off-roading experience to ensure everything works properly. The first thing to check is the headlights, which you’ll need to navigate the desert, and secondly, the brakes and clutch controls.

It’s better to take the vehicle for a short test drive, and if you notice anything concerning, report it to your tour company and have them take a look or ask them to replace the buggy.
