Dune Buggy Self Drive in Lahbab, Dubai
This dune buggy self drive Dubai experience puts you behind the wheel for an hour across Lahbab’s red dunes in your own Polaris buggy, with an instructor and marshals alongside the whole way.
Lahbab is one of Dubai’s red-dune desert areas, a popular spot for self-drive dune buggy trips. Unlike a shared desert safari, this is just you behind the wheel of your own Polaris buggy for a full hour, with an instructor leading the way and marshals riding alongside for safety. It is a hands-on alternative for anyone who wants the thrill of driving the dunes themselves rather than riding along as a passenger.
