Dunes, sun and fun - We had an incredible guide in David who was wonderful. He adapted the route for us and really went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. I can't begin to recommend the tour and David more. This is definitely an experience worth doing when in dubai

Amazing family attraction in Dubai desert! - During our holidays in Dubai we’ve spent a fantastic day with David from OffRoad Zone riding Jeep and conquering the dunes. There were only 4 Jeeps in convoy. It was amazing family attraction. It was fun, it was extreme but at the same time we felt safe under David's watchful guidance. Thank you OffRoad zone for great experience and we wish you all the best!

Absolutely superb! - We did the half-day self-drive experience with Off-Road Zone yesterday and it was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. The team were incredibly professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. The briefing was detailed and confidence-building, and within minutes of getting out into the desert we understood why they’re considered the best in Dubai.
The route they took us on was superb, a perfect mix of flowing dunes, technical sections, and wide open areas where we could really get a feel for the vehicle. David the instructor was always close by, offering tips over the radio that genuinely improved our driving and made the whole experience feel both safe and exhilarating.
What stood out most was how personal the whole session felt. We never felt rushed, and the Jeep Wrangler JLU's were impeccably prepared and clearly maintained to a very high standard.
Whether you’re new to off-roading or have plenty of experience, this is an absolute must-do in Dubai. We came away smiling from ear to ear and already want to book again. Highly recommended.

Smashing the dunes with a Jeep Wrangler - We went to the desert in a small group with the Jeep Wranglers. The experience was awesome and Dave was a great instructor. The experience was exactly we were looking for. It took roughly 7 hours from our hotel to our hotel back including transfer, driving the Jeep by ourselves to the desert and roughly 3 hours smashing the dunes. I can recommend Offroad Zone, great company for offroading and a great place for car enthusiasts.

I recommend!! - It was a great experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized (collection at the hotel and return), with very good communication from the team. David, our guide, was super friendly and knew how to liven up the half day with talent. The experience of driving a jeep in this beautiful desert, as a driver, was simply unforgettable! David explained different driving techniques, making this activity accessible to everyone. I absolutely recommend!

Amazing experience!! Hope to come back soon! - This was our first time going dune bashing and Off Road Zone and David made it so memorable! David was our driver and guide and he was amazing! He taught us so much! He’s also so nice, and we were able to watch him help another group out when they got stuck. He also told us the best places to get out and take pictures which was really fun. Overall, this was such a great experience and I highly recommend coming here!

enjoyable, but somewhat overpriced - Great experience and an excellent guide — patient, funny, and enthusiastic. Logistics were poor: a 1.5-hour round trip to pick up the vehicle added unnecessary time. It would be better to pick guests up in the correct vehicle and go straight to the desert. Overall enjoyable, but somewhat overpriced.
