A dune buggy tour in Dubai starts at around AED 1,000 for a one hour drive in a single seat buggy. Larger buggies and longer tours cost more. Most people spend between AED 1,000 and AED 2,800, depending on the buggy and the group size.
Three things affect what you pay. The first is the buggy: a single seat costs less than a four seat. The second is how long you drive, so a two hour tour costs more than one hour. The third is the time of day, as sunrise and night tours can differ from a standard day tour.
Every tour includes the buggy, fuel, a helmet and safety gear, and a guide who rides with the group. Free hotel pick-up and drop-off in Dubai is also included. You do not pay extra for a licence because none is needed, and you do not need any driving experience.
