Dune bashing for beginners - I booked the trip as I wanted to drive by my own in the sand dunes. As no other drivers have booked for that day, we got a private tour with instructor David. After driving to the desert we made a stop at a shop with a restroom and David gave me first instructions. Driving on the highway was not difficult at all. Then we entered the sand, released air pressure and directly drove into the dunes. I followed David which was not much difficult, although I had not been tough enough to drive at some positions without guidance. We came to a higher dune and David teached me how to drift along the dune. That was amazing and I had not expected to be allowed to drive such challenging moves. We had about 2 hours in the dunes which was the right distance. David made great photos of me and my wife in the unbelievable beautiful landscape. The car was an almost new Jeep with extensive modifications. Overall it was the best experience I had during my 10 day Dubai trip. I can recommend it to anyone.

Awesome day in the dunes - Totally awesome hands on experience. We were the only vehicle in the „convoy“ that day last week and our incredible guide David, who picked us up right at the hotel, made this an incredible day for us. He managed to increase the difficulty level in a perfect way, so as I learned fast the way he explained and demonstrated the driving techniques, we got up to some pretty advanced driving quite quickly. It was the perfect combination of having insane amounts of fun, while developing new skills at the same time. Would 12/10 recommend this to anyone who is into cars and driving and wants to get away from the main touristy crowds. The Jeep we got was almost brand new and in perfekt condition as well.
Thank you so much.

Fab desert drive - Excellent self drive safari trip into desert. Lots of fun and David was a great instructor. Highly recommended for an alternative to the usual camel/bedouin trips that was loads more fun!

Fantastic Off-Road experience! - Fantastic experience! Very professional team. Very sympathetic leader (David). We had a brand new Jeep. You don't just drive on laps, but really go off-road over the dunes. We had a great day! Thanks Off Road Zone!

Perfect way to see the desert! - Absolutely amazing experience!! Did the experience as a solo traveller and thoroughly enjoyed myself. This is the best way to see the desert. Dune bashing is easy to get a hang off and extremely fun. I had an amazing guide, Kevin, who also gave precise instructions, making it very easy. Highly recommended!
