The story

Quad biking is the desert with your own hand on the throttle. Instead of sitting in the back of a 4x4 while a driver takes the dunes, you ride a four-wheeled bike across the sand yourself. The operator lists two ways to do it from Abu Dhabi. The first is a 30-minute ride on its own, with no transfer: you reach the starting point yourself and your captain confirms where that is before you pay. The second is a desert safari with quad biking built in, with a shared transfer from Abu Dhabi and about six hours door to door; the operator names the quad biking, and your captain confirms with the operator what else that safari includes on your date (the dune drive, the camp, a meal) rather than us guessing.

What it feels like: the first minute is nervous and the second is not. The engine is louder than you expect, the sand pulls at the wheels on the soft patches, and then you find the rhythm and start looking up at the dunes instead of down at the handlebars. Abu Dhabi's official tourism site puts it simply: go wild or take it slow, it is your pace. By the end your face is dusty, your arms know they have worked, and the photographs are the kind people back home actually ask about. November to March is the comfortable season for it; in the summer months the sand is fierce by mid-morning.

Who this suits, and why: friends groups and the bachelor party first, because it is loud, competitive and short; adventure-minded couples; and the family with teenagers, who will talk about it for the rest of the trip. The school-holiday family with younger children should check the operator's age rules before planning around it. It is not the pick for pregnant travellers, anyone with back or neck trouble, or grandparents who want the desert without the jolts; the sunrise or evening desert safari suits them better.

What happens

The plan as the operator runs it. Start times and pickup are confirmed for your date.

  1. Ride only: you make your own way to the starting point your captain confirms. Safari option: a shared vehicle collects you in Abu Dhabi; the pickup window comes with your voucher.

  2. The operator shows you the controls and the route before you set off. Listen closely; the sand behaves differently from a road.

  3. The quad ride itself: 30 minutes on the ride-only option. On the safari, how long you ride and what else the safari includes are confirmed by your captain with the operator.

  4. Ride only: you head back on your own. Safari option: the shared transfer returns you to Abu Dhabi, about six hours after pickup.
