Arrival & Briefing
Meet your guide, gear up and review clutch and gear control.
15 minOverview
The Yamaha Raptor 700CC is the most powerful quad bike at Desert Buggys and one of the most thrilling ways to experience Dubai's desert. With a 700cc manual engine, aggressive suspension and race-tuned handling, it is built for riders who want real speed across the Lahbab Red Dunes. Unlike an enclosed buggy, the Raptor puts you fully exposed to the desert – the closest thing to motocross you can experience on sand. This is a high-performance machine that requires clutch and gear control, so it is reserved for experienced riders and serious thrill-seekers.
