Safety is key and this drive has it all covered. Experienced off-roaders have scouted the route to make sure it presents the optimal degree of challenge so that everyone — from the newbies to the pros — can enjoy the drive. Experts will also be joining the drive to help out anyone who may encounter issues during the adventure.

Follow the instructions and you are guaranteed a desert driving experience unlike any other.

Before you head out to the desert, a delicious spread will be prepared for you at a four-star hotel. You’ll also get lunch should you feel hungry mid-way. Finally, the day will be capped with a dinner feast and live entertainment, including quizzes and belly dancing.

There is a caveat though, tickets are selling out fast so get one before it’s too late. Adults pay only Dh350, plus VAT, while children are charged Dh150, plus VAT. Once you complete the payment, you will receive a welcome pack with all the instructions.

For those who have been seeking to explore the UAE desert in their SUVs, the KT Desert Drive is the best place to start, especially because multiple safety measures have been implemented to ensure a pleasant and memorable drive for every one.
