Safety Policy for Desert Safari

Safety Policy

At All UAE Tours, your safety is our top priority. All desert safaris are operated by government-licensed, first-aid trained drivers in fully insured 4x4 vehicles equipped with roll cages, GPS tracking, and seatbelts for every passenger. Protective gear and comprehensive safety briefings are mandatory for all adventure activities like quad biking and dune buggies. Please note that high-intensity dune bashing is not recommended for pregnant women, young children under three, or individuals with severe back, heart, or medical conditions, though customized calm desert routes are available upon request.

Safety & Tour Requirements

Guests must be at least 3 years old for standard dune bashing, while quad biking and dune buggies require drivers to be 16 or older with a valid ID. For safety reasons, high-intensity off-road driving is not suitable for pregnant women or individuals with severe back, neck, or heart conditions. We recommend bringing a valid photo ID, comfortable clothing with a light jacket for cool evenings, and sunglasses or sunscreen for daytime protection.
