Self‑drive dune buggies through the red dunes of Ras Al Khaimah.
In the sweep of Ras Al Khaimah’s desert, Gulf Tours stages a hands‑on dune buggy safari: you pilot a purpose‑built buggy across sand ridges while a trained team manages safety, mechanics and navigation. Tours include a traditional welcome and all required gear, and run as guided self‑drive sessions so you experience the dunes without needing a license.
