SHARMAX Single Seater Quad Bike

A step up from the COBRA on the same fenced beginner track. The SHARMAX gives you more engine and a slightly bigger chassis — ideal if you've ridden something similar before or the COBRA felt a touch tame. Same supervised boundary, same no-license rule, same automatic CVT. Age 14+, helmet + goggles included.

What is the SHARMAX Single Seater Quad Bike?

The SHARMAX Single Seater is a step-up ATV in the beginner class — more engine than the COBRA, same fenced beginner loop at Lahbab. Automatic CVT transmission (no clutch, no gears), thumb-lever throttle on the right handlebar, hand-lever brakes. You still ride inside a marked perimeter with on-track staff watching from elevated positions, but the pace feels a little more serious than COBRA.

Good fit for riders who've done a COBRA lap before and want more, teens 14+ who are comfortable on a bicycle or scooter, and adults who ride off-road occasionally at home but don't want to commit to the open deep-desert route yet. No driving license required — off-road on private desert land.

Price is AED 225 per rider for 30 minutes. 1-hour and 2-hour sessions available on WhatsApp. Helmet, goggles, fuel, briefing and on-track supervision all included.

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.

PPriya Sharma

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

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

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

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

OOliver Schmidt

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.

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

Family-friendly from the first message — clear instructions before the drive, and the kids adored the camel ride at the camp.

Sunrise over the red dunes on the Morning Safari is something else. Cool, quiet, and the booking was sorted on WhatsApp in minutes.

LLaura B

The 4 Seater Polaris RZR fit our whole family and the guide was patient with the first-timers. Goggles and helmets all provided.

MMarco V

Deluxe hot air balloon then a falconry show waiting for us on landing. Organisation was faultless the entire morning.

EEmily R

Fire show and tanoura after the BBQ dinner made the whole evening. Already planning the Private Evening Safari for next visit.

AAhmed K

Rode the COBRA single-seater on the fenced track before moving to open desert — perfect way to build up if you've never quad biked.

RRobert Nowak

My teenagers wanted speed and the Sports quad delivered without ever feeling unsafe. The guide set a sensible pace for the terrain.

CClaire Dubois

Picked us up from Al Sufouh exactly on schedule and the Land Cruiser driver was genuinely skilled — dune bashing like a rollercoaster.

CChloe Martin

Two-hour session on the 1000cc turbo buggy flew by. Sand everywhere, huge grins, and the roll cage never let us feel exposed.

VViktor Ivanov

Henna at the camp while my kids did the camel ride and everyone came home happy — rare with three under ten. Smooth operation.

FFatima Z

Came for the sandboarding and stayed for the BBQ — honestly the food alone would make me book the Evening Safari again.

BBen Walker

Solo traveller, did the Can-Am Maverick guided ride, and the crew looked after me the whole way. Never felt like just a number.

DDiego Fernández

Spent our last evening at the camp and the fire show against the dark desert is one of those things photos just don't capture.

MMaria Santos

Hired the double-seater quad with my brother and it handled the Lahbab dunes better than any rental I've ridden back home.

TThomas Kruger

No hidden charges at the camp — drinks, the shows, everything was exactly as the website said. Refreshing for Dubai, honestly.

RRaj Patel

Watched the tanoura dancer with a plate of BBQ chicken in hand and forgot I was meant to be filming it. Brilliant evening.

SSofia Bianchi

Booked the Evening Safari plus the dune buggy combo — driving the buggy first, then the camp, made for a proper full day out.

AAisha Bello

Highly recommend the 4 Seater Polaris RZR Turbo for a family of four — comfortable, quick, and the safety brief was thorough.

KKarl Andersson

Just back from the Yamaha Raptor 700 and it is properly fast — not the tired old machines other tour operators wheel out.

NNour Haddad

Went for the camel ride expecting a quick photo op and got a proper little trek across the dunes. Handler was great with nervous riders.

YYuki Nakamura

Whole trip exceeded what I'd pictured, mostly because of how empty the dunes felt even in peak season. Would book again in a heartbeat.
