4-Seater Dune Buggy 1000cc
One buggy, four seats, one shared family memory. The most affordable way to put two adults and two kids 12+ into the dunes together — calm 110 HP, automatic transmission, family-tuned suspension.
Why pick the 4-Seater Dune Buggy 1000cc.
The 4-Seater 1000cc is the fleet's family answer. It runs the same approachable 110 HP automatic powertrain as our entry 2-seater, just stretched across a longer wheelbase to fit four full bucket seats with individual harnesses. That extra wheelbase translates directly into a calmer, less twitchy ride — exactly what you want with kids 12+ along for their first time on a dune.
Families on holiday book this one most often. The youngest rider in our riding age range can sit comfortably in the back without losing the sense of the dune; parents up front share the driving without feeling like they are missing out. The convoy pace is naturally slower than a 2-seater group, and the lead guide adjusts photo stops to suit younger passengers. If you would rather split into two faster cars, pair a 2-seater Turbo with a non-turbo 2-seater behind.
What the ride feels like.
Acceleration, climbing capability, comfort, and recommended terrain — written from real ride data, not marketing copy.
The 4-seater chassis settles quickly on rolling Lahbab and Al Qudra dunes. Acceleration is calm, top speed is plenty (we keep convoy speed below 70 km/h with a family on board), and the long wheelbase means even a sharp dune crest does not lift the rear seats off the floor. Photos work especially well from the back row with the seat belts loose enough to lean for a shot.
Al Qudra is the lead recommendation for first-time family rides — gentler crests, cooler micro-climate, only 30 minutes from Dubai Marina. Lahbab is the second choice for the iconic red-sand photos. We avoid Big Red's steep faces with this car. Hotel pickup applies on 1-hour and 2-hour bookings; the 30-minute slot meets at the Lahbab camp.
