Quad Biking Sharjah Experience Overview
If you are new to the dunes, you will benefit from a short introduction to what a typical quad biking Sharjah session looks like. Sessions vary from short rental periods allowing you to test a quad for a low price, to guided group tours and private VIP days. You will find that pricing and inclusions depend on timing (morning vs evening), vehicle type, transfer distance and upgrades such as a professional photographer or private camp. You can choose an adrenaline-focused morning session for longer riding minutes, or an evening option for golden-hour photos and a Desert BBQ. Safari Desert Dubai stages most rides at Al Marmoom and Lahbab Red Dunes and can recommend the best site based on your pickup address.
What a typical session includes
Standard inclusions generally cover helmets, goggles, safety briefing, supervised practice loop and the allocated ride time. Evening packages usually add a camp experience and dinner.
Who should book which option
If you travel with children or guests who prefer comfort, choose buggies or shared evening safaris. If you want hands-on driving, book a guided quad session or self-drive option with a practice loop.
How pricing bands work
Prices scale by transfer distance, timing and included extras: budget self-drive or short hire options start low (AED 35–AED 150), guided sessions and camp combos sit mid-range and VIP private days command a premium.
Top Locations Al Marmoom and Lahbab Red Dunes
Your staging location changes the ride feel and logistics. Both Al Marmoom and Lahbab Red Dunes are popular choices and each has clear advantages depending on your priorities.
Al Marmoom advantages
Al Marmoom is family-friendly with gentler bowls and shorter transfer times from Dubai and Sharjah. Choose this if you travel with younger children or want a lower-stress introduction.
Lahbab Red Dunes advantages
Lahbab is known for taller crests and vivid orange sand that glows at golden hour — ideal for cinematic photos and longer dune runs for experienced riders.
How Safari Desert Dubai matches location to your needs
When you give your pickup address the reservations team recommends the location that balances travel time and the photographic or riding goals of your group.
Packages Morning versus Evening and Pricing
Timing shapes the experience. Morning sessions prioritise longer ride minutes and firmer sand, while evening sessions prioritise sunset photos, cooler temperatures and camp dining. Below is a representative package comparison so you can decide quickly.
Morning session benefits
Morning sessions typically offer quieter dunes and firmer sand, which is useful for learning throttle control and getting longer continuous riding time.
Evening session benefits
Evening sessions deliver golden-hour photography and usually include the Desert BBQ camp experience with entertainment — a great family choice.
Representative pricing table
| Package | Duration | Indicative Price (AED) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget Quad Hire | 30–60 minutes | 35–150 | Quick experience, tight budgets |
| Guided Morning Quad | 3–4 hours | 450–1,000 | Skill building and ride time |
| Evening Quad with Camp | 4–6 hours | 700–1,800 | Photos, dinner and family time |
| Private VIP Package | 4–8 hours | 1,200–3,500+ | Celebrations and privacy |
Vehicle Choices Quad Bike versus Dune Buggy
Choosing between a quad bike and a dune buggy depends on who is in your group and the style of memories you want. Both have strengths and different comfort and photo results.
Quad bike characteristics
Quads are hands-on and connect you physically to the sand via the handlebars — they are best for solo drivers and action photography.
Dune buggy advantages
Dune buggies offer seatbelts, roll cages and passenger space, so families and mixed-age groups often prefer them for comfort and staged photos.
Activity comparison table
| Feature | Quad Bike | Dune Buggy |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Solo drivers and adrenaline seekers | Families and passengers |
| Learning curve | Low to medium with a practice loop | Very short for drivers used to cars |
| Photo style | Dynamic motion shots | Stable staged portraits |
Safety Standards and Licensed Guides
Safety is non-negotiable. Expect licensed guides, radio-connected convoy management, daily vehicle checks and a supervised practice loop before you ride the main dunes.
Licensed local guides
Guides have local experience at both Al Marmoom and Lahbab Red Dunes and are trained in first aid and dune convoy rules to keep you safe and help you learn.
Vehicle maintenance and checks
Operators perform daily maintenance checks — brakes, throttle response, tyre condition and recovery gear; ask to view the maintenance checklist if you want added assurance.
Practice loop and rider briefing
Every guided booking includes a practice loop so you can test throttle control and dune etiquette before full runs. This reduces incidents and improves confidence.
Booking Process Pickup and Day-of Coordination
Booking is straightforward: choose a package, provide participant names and ages, and pay securely. You will receive a voucher with a pickup window and the guide’s WhatsApp contact for live ETAs and day-of coordination.
Three-step booking
- Choose date, location (Al Marmoom or Lahbab) and package.
- Provide participant names, ages and any medical notes.
- Pay securely and receive a voucher, pickup window and guide contact.
Pickup vehicle options
Standard pickups are climate-controlled 4x4s; private SUVs are available for VIP upgrades. Request child seats at booking — the team will confirm availability.
Day-of tips
Be in your lobby 10 minutes early, keep your phone on for live ETAs and follow the guide’s instructions to keep the convoy on schedule.
Family Planning Age and Height Requirements
Operators set age and height rules for safety and insurance. Confirm these limits when you book to ensure everyone in your party is included safely.
Driver minimums and ID
Drivers for full-size quads and buggies typically need to be 16–18+ with valid ID (passport or Emirates ID). Exact minimums depend on engine size and insurance rules.
Passenger rules and harness fit
Passengers commonly must be 5 years or older and able to fit harnesses safely. Junior quads may be available for ages 12–16 under supervision.
Age and height requirements table

| Quad Passenger | 5+ | Harness fit required |
| Junior Quad | 12–16 | Parental consent and supervision |

February 2026 brings mild days and cool evenings to the UAE. Dress in layers so you are comfortable from early morning rides through after-sunset camp dining.

Wear closed shoes or boots, long trousers and breathable long sleeves. Bring a light jacket for after-sunset and gloves if you plan to drive a quad for better grip.

- Small power bank and any required medication
Requests to make at booking
Request child seats, chilled water, shaded seating and a professional photographer if you want pro photos. Early requests improve day-of execution.
Accessibility and Options for Slower-paced Guests
Not everyone wants to ride. Many packages include comfortable camp options and staged activities that keep non-riders included and comfortable.
Camp-based activities
Non-riders can enjoy camel rides, cultural displays, sandboarding and shaded lounges while others ride, keeping the group together and comfortable.
Closer staging and low-walk mount points
Notify reservations of mobility needs and they will stage transfers closer to the dune staging area and provide low-walk mounting where possible.
Custom schedules for mixed groups
Operators can stagger ride times and extend camp time so riders and non-riders rotate without long waits.
Inclusions Versus Upgrades
Packages are built around standard inclusions with optional upgrades that add comfort and memory-making services. Choose one meaningful upgrade for the best value.
Standard inclusions
Expect pickup and return, safety briefing, helmets and goggles, practice loop and bottled water. Evening combos add camp seating and a Desert BBQ.
High-value upgrades
Private transfer, private camp, professional photographer, premium catering and reduced insurance excess are high-impact options for families and celebrations.

Pause on a stable crest 20–30 minutes before sunset for warm tones and silhouette shots. Consider the professional photographer upgrade for edited images.
How to pick one high-impact upgrade
For families, either a private transfer or a professional photographer delivers the most tangible improvement — pick one rather than many small extras.
