Quad biking (or ATV riding) offers an off-road thrill ride through sand dunes, rocky trails, or countryside terrain. Popular in desert areas like Dubai, Merzouga (Morocco), and Sinai (Egypt), as well as forests in Croatia and Costa Rica, quad tours are typically available year-round, with the best experiences during the cooler months or early mornings. It’s a great blend of speed, control, and adventure, perfect for both solo travelers and groups.
Quad biking is a dusty, gritty, high-energy activity perfect for exploring rugged terrain, deserts, forests, or volcanic plains. You’ll drive your own four-wheel all-terrain vehicle across sand dunes, mountain paths, or jungle trails—feeling the power under your hands and the rush of terrain flying past. This activity is especially popular in Merzouga (Morocco), the Dubai desert, and Cappadocia’s rock valleys. Tours cost between $30 and $90, and usually include helmets, goggles, and a brief driving lesson. October to April is the best time to ride in desert regions, offering cooler temperatures and better grip on the trails. Some packages combine quad biking with camel rides, Bedouin dinners, or stargazing for a full-day desert adventure. Whether you’re a solo rider or part of a convoy, quad biking offers power, scenery, and off-road freedom.
