Each tour has its own page with the full itinerary and inclusions. Prices above are the lowest per person for a group of six; use the calculator for your exact group.
See the full range in the Abu Dhabi desert safari guide, or ride a dune buggy in Abu Dhabi instead.
The quad ride is priced per rider by time. The shared tour is a flat price per person. The private tours add your own 4x4, so the per-person price drops as the group grows.
A solo rider or a couple get the best value from the shared sunset tour at AED 314 each. For four or more, the private morning tour works out cheaper per head and gives you your own 4x4, so groups should compare both in the calculator.
Groups over six are welcome. Tell us your numbers on WhatsApp and we price a second 4x4 as one booking.
Prices in AED, including VAT. The private tours show the total for the group; divide by the number of riders for the per-person price.

Our quads are 250cc automatic ATVs (all-terrain vehicles), one rider each. They are easy from the first minute and have the grip for the dunes. After a safety briefing you drive the quad yourself on a marked route, with a guide riding alongside the whole time, which works like a private instructor for first-timers.
Ten minutes is a quick taste and the only length on the shared sunset tour. Thirty minutes lets you settle in and cover more ground. An hour takes you further into the dunes and is the one keen riders choose. The private tours let you pick any of the three.
Quad bike rental in Abu Dhabi, with us, means the quad comes inside a guided desert safari with a quad bike, reached by 4x4 with a guide riding beside you. It is legal and safe on the open dunes, which a bare, unaccompanied rental or a bike taken away is not. We run guided tours, not quad sales or self-rental.
Every ride is in the Al Khatim desert, about 45 to 60 minutes from Abu Dhabi city towards Al Ain. The dunes are open and quiet, so the quad routes can be long and the guide picks the line for the light and the sand.
We collect you from your hotel in Abu Dhabi and drive you out. On the shared tour the 4x4 is shared with other guests; on the private tours it is yours alone. If you have your own car you can meet us at the camp and we adjust the price.
The dunes are not reachable by road car, and a quad is not road legal. That is the honest reason quad rental here always comes with a 4x4: it is how you reach the sand and get back. Anyone offering a bare quad with no transfer is not taking you to the real dunes.
You do not need a licence or any experience. The briefing covers the controls, the throttle and the guide's hand signals, and the quads are automatic, so there is no gear changing. Most of our riders have never been on a quad before.
Riders must be adults. Children join the family on the 4x4, the camel farm, sandboarding and, in the evening, the camp with dinner and shows. Tell us the ages in your group when you book.
You need to sit upright on the quad and work the throttle and brake, so it is not suitable for anyone with a back, neck or heart condition, or during pregnancy. If in doubt, tell us when booking and we will advise honestly.
Closed shoes and long trousers. Sand at speed is abrasive, and the helmet we provide is worn for the whole ride.
The quad itself is not insured. That is standard across UAE operators, so you sign a liability waiver and follow the guide's rules. The 4x4 transfer and the camp are covered. For personal cover, add adventure insurance through your own travel provider before you come.
Real photographs from our Al Khatim tours, not stock.
The quad ride is one part of a desert safari. Everything below is inside the price in the calculator.
Most quad pages show a star rating and no evidence. Here is ours.
"Mujeeb is the best driver one could wish for. He picked me up from the airport, he's extremely kind, professional and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. He knows the perfect spots for photos. I highly recommend Mujeeb to anyone visiting Abu Dhabi."
Petra P, TripAdvisor, December 2025
"Perfect. Mujeeb was kind and on time. He shared with us interesting details about the history of the place. The ride was exceptional fun."
Aviad H, Google review, Arabiers Holidays Abu Dhabi
Mujeeb Rahman runs our Abu Dhabi desert operation and is the name that comes up most in our Abu Dhabi reviews. He and his team know the Al Khatim dunes by season and by light, which is why the ride is safe for first-timers and the photographs come out the way the reviews describe.
A self-drive quad bike with Arabiers starts at AED 314 per person for a 10 minute ride on the shared sunset safari. Private tours run longer rides of 30 or 60 minutes, priced for the whole group. You can see the live price for your choices in the calculator on this page.
Yes, you drive it yourself. Quad bike rental in Abu Dhabi with us means a 250cc quad ridden inside a guided desert safari, because the Al Khatim dunes are reached by 4x4 and a guide rides with you for safety. You choose the ride length, get a briefing and a helmet, then drive on a marked dune route.
On the shared sunset safari the quad ride is 10 minutes. On the private morning tour you can choose 10, 30 or 60 minutes, and on the private evening and dinner tours 30 or 60 minutes.
Our quads are 250cc automatic machines, easy for first-time riders and strong enough for the dunes. One rider per quad.
No licence and no experience are needed. A guide gives a full safety briefing and rides alongside you. Riders must be adults; children ride with the family on the 4x4 and the other desert activities.
Yes. A helmet is provided and worn for the whole quad ride, along with a safety briefing before you start.
The shared sunset tour puts you in a group 4x4 with a quick 10 minute quad, which is the cheapest way to try it. The private tours give your group its own 4x4 and guide and a longer quad ride of 30 or 60 minutes, in the morning, evening or with a private dinner.
In the Al Khatim desert, about 45 to 60 minutes from Abu Dhabi city on the Al Ain road. Hotel pickup and drop off is included.
Your quad ride, the 4x4 desert drive, dune bashing, sandboarding, a camel farm stop, hotel pickup and drop off, a helmet and the safety briefing. The evening tour adds a BBQ buffet dinner and live shows, and the dinner tour adds a private dinner setup.
Yes. Adults ride the quads, and the whole family shares the 4x4, the camel farm, sandboarding and, in the evening, the camp with dinner and shows. The morning tour is the easier choice with young children.
October to March, when the desert is cool and both morning and evening tours run. December and January are the busiest weeks, so book early. In summer the rides start early in the morning.
Pick your options in the calculator on this page and send the summary to us on WhatsApp. We confirm your slot and the pickup details the same day.
A one hour quad ride is the longest we offer and is available on all three private tours, morning, evening and dinner. The price depends on the tour and your group size, so choose 1 hour in the calculator on this page to see the exact figure for your group. In a group of six the one hour morning ride works out around AED 545 per person.
Morning is cool and quiet, which suits families and summer visitors, and you are back by lunch. Evening gives you golden light, the sunset and dinner at the camp. Both run from October to March; in summer we ride early morning only.
Yes, it is legal when you ride with a licensed operator on a permitted desert route, which is exactly what we do in Al Khatim. Fines come from riding an unregistered quad on public roads or in restricted areas. With us you ride on a marked desert route with a guide, so there is nothing to worry about.
Yes. Every rider gets a full safety briefing and a guide who rides alongside the whole time, which works like a private instructor for first-timers. The quads are 250cc automatics, so there are no gears to learn. Most of our riders have never been on a quad before.
Yes. Four riders share one private 4x4, which makes the price per person lower than it is for a couple. Choose four guests in the calculator to see the price. Larger groups up to six share one 4x4, and bigger parties take a second vehicle as one booking.
You can reserve without paying straight away. Send your choices on WhatsApp, we hold the slot and confirm the pickup, and payment is settled on confirmation or on the day. No upfront online payment is required to reserve.
Yes. A quad bike and an ATV, or all-terrain vehicle, are the same thing. Ours are 250cc ATVs, one rider each, ridden self-drive on the dunes with a guide alongside.
No. We run guided quad bike tours in the desert, not sales or self-rental of bikes to take away. The quad comes with a 4x4 transfer, a guide and a helmet, inside a desert safari, which is the safe and legal way to ride the open dunes.
We ride on marked routes in the Al Khatim desert, about 45 to 60 minutes from Abu Dhabi city on the Al Ain road. Your guide picks the line each time for the sand and the light, rather than following a fixed public trail, which keeps every ride safe and scenic.
