The story

Most desert trips put you in the back seat while someone else drives. This one hands you the wheel. The operator lists a self-drive tour in a Polaris RZR, an open off-road buggy built for sand, for one hour in the dunes outside Abu Dhabi. There is no hotel pickup on this product: you reach the start point yourself, by taxi or a car your captain arranges separately, and the sheet allows two hours for the activity as a whole.

What it feels like: louder and more physical than a 4x4. The buggy is open, so you feel every ridge through the steering and the seat, the engine noise is all around you, and the sand sprays off the wheels on the turns. The first few minutes are careful; by the middle of the hour most drivers have found the rhythm of climbing a dune slowly and letting the buggy roll down the far side. Then you stop the engine on a crest and look out over nothing but sand, and that quiet is the part people talk about afterwards.

Who this suits, and why: the friends group and the bachelor party, because driving it yourself is the whole appeal and friends can take turns at the wheel where the operator allows it; couples who have done a desert safari before and want something with more control; and the adventure-minded solo traveller. It is not for children as drivers, for anyone pregnant, or for anyone with back or neck trouble, and it is the wrong choice for a family that wants the camp-and-dinner evening; for them the evening desert safari is the product. Because the sheet leaves the price basis, the passenger rules and the licence requirement unsaid, treat this page as the outline and your captain's written answer from the operator as the terms.

What happens

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

  1. Make your own way to the start point. It is not named on the operator's list; your captain confirms the address with the voucher and can quote a car separately if you need one.

  2. Arrive at the time on your voucher. What happens before the drive (paperwork, a safety talk, helmets) is set by the operator and confirmed by your captain.

  3. About one hour at the wheel of a Polaris RZR on the dunes, as the sheet names it.

  4. Back at the start point, about two hours after arrival by the sheet's timing, and your own way back to the hotel.
