Open Desert Expert Only No License

Raptor 700 CC Quad Bike

Q: How much is the Raptor Manual 700 CC Single Seater Quad Bike in Dubai?

The Raptor 700 CC on the open deep desert starts from AED 795 for 1 hour. 2-hour sessions are quoted on WhatsApp. There is no 30-minute option on this vehicle — try the COBRA, Kymco, SHARMAX, Yamaha or Double Seater for a shorter taster first. Price is per rider and includes Convenient Hotel Pickup, helmet, goggles, briefing, fuel and a lead guide on the ridge.

Q: What is the difference between the Yamaha Raptor 700 CC and the COBRA quad?

The COBRA rides on our fenced beginner track with on-track staff supervision — automatic CVT, lower top speed, shorter range, younger minimum age (14). The Raptor 700 CC rides the open Lahbab red dunes in a guided convoy with a lead rider on the ridge — 5-speed manual with clutch, real dunes, more distance, minimum age 18. Both need no driving license.

Q: Do I need a driving license for the Yamaha Raptor 700 CC?

No. Quad riding on Dubai's Lahbab Red Desert is off-road recreation on private desert land. No driving license is required. Minimum age is 18, experienced riders only. All riders receive a 10-minute safety briefing before convoy departure.

Q: What is included in the price?

Every Raptor 700 CC session includes: Convenient Hotel Pickup from any Dubai zone, 10-minute safety briefing, DOT-approved helmet, anti-sand goggles, full tank of fuel, certified lead guide, unlimited mineral water at the camp, and drop-off back to your hotel. No hidden fees.

The most powerful machine in our fleet. A Yamaha Raptor 700 CC single-rider ATV on the open deep desert route of the Lahbab Red Desert — 5-speed manual with clutch, guided convoy, no boundary fence. A lead rider picks the line, you follow through unrestricted dunes. No driving license required, but prior manual-transmission experience recommended. Age 18+ · Experienced Only. Price is per rider.

What is the Raptor Manual 700 CC Single Seater Quad Bike?

The Raptor 700 CC is the flagship ATV in our Lahbab fleet — one rider, four fat tires, 5-speed manual with clutch and a 700cc petrol engine under the seat. Yamaha (a Japanese manufacturer) builds some of the most reliable recreational quads in the world, which is why we reserve this one for the open deep desert route and experienced riders only. The thumb-throttle is the same as our automatic quads — the clutch and foot-shift gears are what set this machine apart.

A lead guide rides ahead on a Raptor and picks the safe line through soft sand, avoids hidden drops and sets the group speed to match the least experienced rider. You ride the guide's tracks, crest real dunes, stop for photos and actually get to feel the desert open up in every direction. No driving license is required because you are on private desert land, but the minimum age is 18 and riders should be comfortable with a manual clutch.

Price is per rider: AED 795 for 1 hour, 2-hour on request. No 30-minute option on this vehicle. Everything you need is bundled: helmet, goggles, fuel, briefing, lead guide and Dubai hotel pickup. This is the top of our fleet — nothing faster available.

Is the Raptor 700 CC Right for You?

A quick gut-check so you pick the right quad the first time.

✓ Pick this if...

✓ You want the most powerful machine in the fleet, real open desert
✓ You're 18+ with some manual-transmission experience (car or motorbike)
✓ You want more control than our automatic quads offer
✓ You've ridden a quad before and are ready to step up
✓ You like the idea of following a lead guide through real dunes
✓ You want a full 1 or 2 hours — there's no 30-min option on this one

→ Skip this if...

→ You've never been on any powered vehicle — start on the COBRA (fenced)
→ You prefer automatic, no clutch — try the Yamaha
→ You're riding with a partner — see the Double Seater Quad
→ You're booking for under-18 — this vehicle isn't available; try Kids Quad, COBRA or Kymco
→ You want BBQ dinner bundled in — check combo packages

Safety First

Open Desert, Guided Line, Zero Guesswork

The Yamaha Raptor 700 CC is operated under the Dubai Department of Economy & Tourism (DTCM) licensing framework. Every unit is inspected before each session. Out on the open desert your safety net is the lead guide — they know every soft pocket, every hidden crest, every exit route — so you never point the quad at something you can't see the other side of.

Helmets and anti-sand goggles are mandatory. The group rides in a spaced convoy — far enough apart that nobody clips the rider ahead, close enough that the sweep guide at the back can see everyone. If anything feels wrong you raise your hand — the group stops, no questions. Most riders come off buzzing — this is the fastest, most demanding machine in our fleet.

What To Wear

👕 Light, breathable long-sleeve top (blocks sun and kicked sand)
👖 Long trousers or jeans (not shorts — sand at speed stings bare legs)
👟 Closed shoes — sneakers or trainers. No sandals.
🕶️ Sunglasses for the drive out (we also provide goggles)
🧴 Sunscreen SPF 30+
🧣 Light buff or scarf for nose/mouth in windy conditions
💧 Small water bottle (we also provide one)
📸 Phone in a zip pocket or strap (no selfie sticks during the ride)

Booked the Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo for sunset and my arms were sore for two days — worth every dirham. Machines felt brand new.

Evening Desert Safari with the BBQ dinner was the highlight of our whole Dubai trip. Fire show had the kids glued.

SSarah Mitchell

Yamaha Raptor 700 is genuinely fast, not a toy quad like some operators hand you. Guide kept the convoy tight on the dunes.

NNadia Petrov

Pickup from our hotel in Marina was right on time and the driver knew exactly where he was going. Smooth from start to finish.

Took the 4 Seater Polaris RZR with my family — all four of us fit and the roll cage made my mother-in-law feel safe.

TTom Bennett

Hot air balloon at dawn then breakfast in the camp — faultless from pickup to drop-off. The falconry display was a lovely touch.

EEmily Carter

First time on a buggy and the Can-Am Maverick was easy to handle even for a nervous beginner. Staff kept the pace slow until I settled.

KKatarina Novak

Rode the KTM 450 dirt bike after messaging on WhatsApp for pricing — the instructor spent a solid fifteen minutes on basics first.

HHiroshi Tanaka

Went with my sister for the Morning Desert Safari since we didn't want a late night. Dune bashing was smoother than I expected.

AAnna Kowalski

Loved that the belly dancer performed close enough that even the shy ones in our group got pulled up to dance. Great BBQ too.

SSophie Laurent

Great value on the Private Morning Safari — just my wife and me with the driver, so we stopped for photos whenever we wanted.

RRyan O'Connor

Six of us did the Private Evening Safari with the BBQ — having our own vehicle meant zero waiting at each stop. Well run.

AAhmed Hassan

Sandboarding then the camel ride at the camp kept my two kids happy for hours, which honestly never happens. Booking was quick.

FFatima Al-Rashid

Rented the Can-Am Maverick X3 for the morning and it's a different beast — way more grip on the sand and real turbo punch.

JJonas Berg

My husband wanted a quad and I wanted a proper dinner, so the Evening Safari plus the 30-minute ATV solved the argument perfectly.

CCamila Reyes

Second time booking a safari in Dubai and this crew beat the first company by a mile, especially on how organised the pickup was.

LLucas Meyer
4 months ago

Kids on the fenced kids quad, us on the Kymco singles — the whole family rode and nobody felt left out. Helmets fit properly.

DDaniel Okafor
5 months ago

Honestly wasn't expecting much from a quad add-on, but 30 minutes on the Yamaha was one of the better parts of the whole safari.

IIsabella Torres
5 months ago

Upgraded last minute to the Premium hot air balloon and the desert safari after landing was the best breakfast of the holiday.

OOliver Schmidt
5 months ago

Everything on the Evening Safari ran on time, which after two other operators cancelled on us felt like a small miracle.

LLindsey Turner

Whole thing was set up over WhatsApp in about ten minutes — date, hotel, buggy choice, done. No back and forth, no deposit games.

MMateo Rossi

Zero pressure the whole time — the lead guide read how confident each of us was and adjusted the route on the dunes to match.
