Dinner & entertainment

Unwind with a BBQ buffet dinner featuring a mix of veg and non‑veg options, fresh salads, grilled meats, and local desserts. Live shows—including belly dancing, Tanoura, and two fire displays—round out your evening (note: live entertainment isn’t available during Ramadan).

FAQs

The entire adventure usually lasts around 3 to 4 hours, including quad biking sessions in the desert, followed by an enjoyable BBQ dinner under starlit skies.
Pack plenty of water and snacks for hydration. Wear comfortable clothing suitable for riding quads and a jacket if it's chilly at night. Sunglasses and sunscreen are also recommended for the day.
Your ticket usually covers quad biking, evening desert exploration, BBQ dinner, soft drinks during meals, and basic safety gear like helmets. Some packages offer additional activities such as camel riding or henna painting.
Most tours provide pickup from major hotels and landmarks within Dubai. Check if transportation is included and confirm pick-up times well ahead of your trip date.
Absolutely! Capture the stunning desert scenery, quad biking action, and the serene evening atmosphere. Bring a camera or smartphone; just keep it secure during rides and protect against sand and dust.
The ideal time for this experience is during cooler evening hours, typically from 6 PM onwards. Avoid very hot days and ensure you're there before sunset for ample daylight. The BBQ adds a cozy touch as night falls.
While it can be exciting, quad biking might not suit very young children due to safety concerns. Optimal age is typically 8 years or older; otherwise, enjoy a relaxing evening in the desert with your family.
It's highly advisable to reserve your spots ahead of time, especially during peak seasons (November to April). Booking early ensures availability and often comes with better deals.
