Rev Up Your Abu Dhabi Desert Safari Adventure
Dune Bashing: The Ultimate Desert Rollercoaster
Your desert safari begins with a convenient pickup in a 4×4 vehicle, driven by one of Happy Desert Safari’s expert guides. As you leave the cityscape behind, the terrain quickly shifts into the golden waves of the desert.
What follows is pure adrenaline: dune bashing across steep hills and valleys, as your vehicle powers through the soft sands. It’s the kind of ride that has you laughing, shouting, and holding tight—all while surrounded by endless views of the desert.
This part of the safari is perfect for thrill-seekers and first-timers alike, offering a safe yet heart-racing adventure.
Quad Biking and Sandboarding: Ride or Glide
Want to push the excitement even further? With Happy Desert Safari, you can add on quad biking, where you steer your own ATV across wide-open sandscapes. It’s a fast and freeing experience that lets you connect directly with the desert terrain.
Prefer something more gravity-powered? Strap into a sandboard and surf down the dunes—it’s a fun challenge whether you’re new to the sport or already hooked on boardsports.
Tranquility at Twilight: Sunset Over the Desert
After the energy of dune bashing and biking, it’s time for something softer—but just as powerful. The desert sunset in Abu Dhabi is nothing short of breathtaking. As the sun dips behind the dunes, it casts golden and crimson hues across the landscape.
