Quad Bike Dubai Price 2026: Amazing Cost Guide

You are standing at the edge of the Lahbab Desert. The sun is blazing, the sand is endless, and the only thing missing is the roar of an engine.

For adventure seekers visiting the UAE, Quad Biking is not just an activity; it is a rite of passage. It is the only way to truly feel the power of the desert in your own hands.

But if you have been searching Google for “quad bike Dubai price” or “quad biking Dubai cost“, you are probably confused. One website offers a ride for 100 AED, while another demands 800 AED. Why the huge difference? Are you getting ripped off at the high end, or are you risking your safety at the low end?

The truth is, the price depends entirely on three factors:

1. Where you ride (Inside a fence vs. Open Desert).
2. What you ride (90cc toy vs. 700cc beast).
3. How you book (Standalone rental vs. Safari Combo).

At Maverick Safari UAE, we believe in radical transparency. We don’t like hidden fees any more than you do. In this definitive 2,500-word guide, we will break down every dirham. We will explain the difference between a “tourist trap” circuit ride and a real adventure, reveal the hidden costs of insurance, and help you find the perfect ride for your budget in 2026.

1. Quick Answer: Dubai Quad Bike Price List (2026)

If you are in a rush to plan your budget, here is the realistic market rate for safe, high-quality quad biking in Dubai this year.

Package Type	Duration	Terrain	Typical Price Range
Kids / Fenced Circuit	30 Mins	Flat / Fenced	100 AED – 150 AED
Adult Fenced Ride	30 Mins	Flat / Fenced	150 AED – 200 AED
Open Desert Tour (Standard)	1 Hour	High Dunes	300 AED – 450 AED
Open Desert (Double Seater)	1 Hour	High Dunes	500 AED – 650 AED
Yamaha Raptor 700cc (Pro)	1 Hour	Extreme Dunes	600 AED – 900 AED
Safari + Quad Combo (Fenced)	6 Hours	Flat / Fenced	250 AED – 350 AED
Safari + Quad Combo (Open)	6 Hours	High Dunes	500 AED – 700 AED

Maverick Tip: Prices can fluctuate slightly based on the season (October–March is peak season). Always book online in advance to secure these rates, as walk-in prices at the desert stations are often 20-30% higher.

2. The “Terrain Factor”: Why Some Rides Are Cheaper

This is the single biggest reason for price confusion. When you see a low price (under 200 AED for adults), you need to ask: “Is this inside the boundary?”

The “Inside Boundary” Ride (The Budget Option)

• Cost: Low (100–150 AED).
• The Experience: You ride in a designated, flat enclosure near the camp. It is usually about the size of a football pitch. You cannot climb the big dunes.
• Why it’s cheap: No guide is needed, fuel consumption is low, and the bikes are smaller (150cc – 250cc).
• Who is it for? Families with young kids (8-12 years), nervous beginners, or those who just want a quick photo on a bike for Instagram without the adrenaline.

The “Open Desert” Tour (The Premium Option)

• Cost: High (300 AED+).
• The Experience: The boundary rope is dropped. You follow a professional lead guide deep into the Red Dunes of Lahbab. You climb 300-foot ridges, dive into valleys, and cross the wilderness.
• Why it costs more: Requires a powerful bike (350cc – 700cc), a professional guide to lead the convoy, and more fuel/maintenance.
• Who is it for? Anyone who wants a real adventure. If you are an adult, this is the one you want.

3. Detailed Breakdown by Bike Model

Just like renting a car, renting a Ferrari costs more than a Toyota. The engine size (cc) dictates the price.

A. The 90cc – 150cc (Kids / Teens)

• Price: ~100 AED (30 mins).
• Power: Very low. Top speed 20-30 km/h.
• Details: Automatic transmission. Small frame.
• Verdict: Perfect for children aged 8-12. Too small and weak for an adult to enjoy in soft sand.

B. The 330cc – 400cc (The Standard Workhorse)

• Price: ~300 – 450 AED (1 Hour).
• Models: Yamaha Grizzly, Honda TRX, Polaris Sportsman.
• Power: Strong torque. Can climb 45-degree slopes. Top speed 60-80 km/h.
• Details: Automatic transmission (Thumb throttle + Brake). No clutch needed.
• Verdict: The standard for Open Desert Tours. Easy to drive for beginners but powerful enough to be thrilling.

C. The Yamaha Raptor 700cc (The Beast)

• Price: ~600 – 900 AED (1 Hour).
• Power: Explosive. This is a sport quad. It is light, aggressive, and incredibly fast.
• Details: Manual Transmission (Clutch + Foot Shift).
• Verdict: Only for experienced riders. If you don’t know how to use a clutch, do not book this. You will stall it on the dunes. But if you can ride, it is the best money you will ever spend.

4. The Combo Strategy: How to Save Money

If you book a Quad Bike session separately and then book an Evening Desert Safari separately, you might pay:

• Quad Bike (Open Desert): 400 AED
• Evening Safari: 150 AED
• Total: 550 AED

However, if you book the “Safari + Quad Combo” with Maverick Safari UAE, the price often drops to 450–500 AED.

Why? Because we save on logistics. Instead of sending a driver just for the bike, we use the same Land Cruiser to pick you up for the safari, take you to the bike station, and then take you to the camp.

The Combo Itinerary:

1. 2:30 PM: Pickup from your hotel.
2. 3:30 PM: Arrive at Desert Station -> Quad Biking Session (30-60 mins).
3. 4:30 PM: Switch to Land Cruiser -> Dune Bashing.
4. 5:30 PM: Sandboarding & Sunset.
5. 6:30 PM: BBQ Dinner & Shows.
6. 9:00 PM: Drop-off.

5. Hidden Costs & “Fine Print” to Watch Out For

You found a cheap deal? Great. But before you hand over your cash, check for these hidden extras that some operators charge.

1. The “Guide Fee”

Some cheap rentals (150 AED for “Open Desert”) will give you the bike but then tell you: “You cannot go alone. You must hire a guide for 100 AED extra.”

• Maverick Policy: Our Open Desert prices always include the lead guide.

2. Goggles & Gear

Sand in your eyes hurts. Some shops charge 20-30 AED to rent dust goggles or a scarf.

• Tip: Bring your own sunglasses and a scarf (sheila/keffiyeh) to save money.

3. Collision Insurance

Standard rental covers mechanical failure (engine dying). It does not cover accident damage. If you crash into another bike or roll over due to reckless driving, you may be asked to pay for repairs (which can be 500+ AED).

• Tip: Drive responsibly. Keep 10 meters distance. Do not drift if you don’t know how.

4. Double Seater vs. Single Seater

If you are a couple, sharing one bike (“Double Seater”) is cheaper than two single bikes.

• Single Bike: 400 AED.
• Double Bike: 550 AED (275 AED per person).
• Warning: Driving a double-seater is harder. The bike is heavier, and the passenger must hold on tight on the dunes.

6. Safety & Age Limits

Is it safe? Yes, if you follow the rules. But regulations in Dubai are strict for good reason.

• Age Limit:
  • Open Desert: Riders must generally be 16+ years old.
  • Fenced Area: Kids as young as 6-8 years can ride appropriately sized bikes.
• License: You do not need a driving license for off-road quad biking. However, you must carry a valid ID (Passport Copy or Emirates ID).
• Helmets: Mandatory. Never ride without one.
• Pregnancy: Pregnant women are not allowed to ride quad bikes or do dune bashing due to the bumpy terrain.

7. The “Cheap” Trap: Why Avoid the 100 AED Offer?

We see it all the time. A tourist books a “100 AED Desert Ride” from a flyer on the street. Here is what usually happens:

1. They pick you up in a bus (no AC, crowded).
2. They take you to a roadside rental spot in Al Aweer (not the nice Red Dunes).
3. The bike is an old, rusty 150cc that stalls.
4. You ride in a small circle for 20 minutes (not 30).
5. You spend 2 hours waiting for the bus to take you back.

The Reality: High-quality quad bikes (Yamaha/Honda) cost over 30,000 AED to buy. Maintenance in the sand is expensive. A legit operator cannot offer a 1-hour open desert tour on a quality bike for 100 AED. If the price is too low, the quality will be low.

8. Why Choose Maverick Safari UAE?

10. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I drive the quad bike alone in the open desert?

A: For safety reasons, open desert tours are always led by a guide. The desert is vast, and it is easy to get lost or hit a sudden drop-off (“razorback”) if you don’t know the terrain. The guide ensures you hit the dunes at the right angle.

Q: Do I need to book in advance?

A: Yes. During peak season (October to March), bikes sell out days in advance, especially the Raptor 700cc models. Booking online guarantees your slot.

Q: Is it better to ride in the morning or evening?

A: Morning (8 AM – 10 AM): Best for driving. The sand is cool and firm, making it easier to control the bike.Sunset (4 PM – 6 PM): Best for views. The lighting is incredible, but the sand can be softer (churned up by other cars).

Q: Can I bring my GoPro?

A: Absolutely! We recommend a chest mount or a secure helmet adhesive. Holding a camera in your hand is dangerous and usually forbidden by the guide.
