Off-road driving can be stressful and exciting, but at the same time, it is an incredible adrenaline rush and an unforgettable experience. In Dubai, you can not only walk around the city, admire the luxury and see the iconic sights, but you can also find a lot of extreme experiences for those seeking an adrenaline rush.
One such activity is off-road driving in the desert. Such trips can be made both with an experienced driver and on your own if you have completed an express driving course in the desert. If you are already fully prepared, then all you have to do is rent an SUV at evolve.ae. They offer the most equipped off-road vehicles for desert trips. You can rent a Jeep Wrangler, Range Rover Vogue, and other SUVs at a reasonable price.
In this article, we will cover where to find off-roading in Dubai, as well as other places where you can go off-road in the United Arab Emirates.

Whether you are a professional driver with many years of experience or have been trained in extreme driving, the desert will still challenge you. You must be prepared for the fact that unpredictable conditions await you in the desert. The terrain of the desert is heterogeneous and that is why you must be prepared for the fact that the sands will be replaced by rocks and dry riverbeds.
In this regard, it is better to find forums on the Internet where experienced drivers will share with you recommendations on how to prepare for your first trip in the Dubai desert.
Before starting your road trip, you will be able to stop at a small shop where you can check your car. Here you will be able to inflate your tires, as well as purchase everything you may need during your trip.
In this desert, the sand is soft and pleasant, so make a stop to wander through the desert with bare feet and enjoy it. Moreover, the sand here is not of the usual golden hue, but golden red, which makes the views unsurpassed.
If you want to go to a more difficult place, then go to the Pink Rock, which you will see on the horizon.
Fossil Rock in Sharjah
We recommend that you go to the Fossil Rock plateau, which is located near Sharjah. Here you can observe the landscape of the endless desert, as well as take your first steps to conquer off-road in the United Arab Emirates. Small sandy hills and soft sand await you.
It's best to start your trip in the morning and don't forget to stay until sunset as you won't regret the scenery you can see here. If you get stuck, don't panic, there are always plenty of off-road riders around to help you out.
Behind the Fossil Rock, you can try to increase the difficulty level, as the sand is more difficult here, especially near the rocks. This is because the sand is mixed with small stones.

Here, not only is it fun driving an SUV but you can also find amazing places for a photoshoot. You are guaranteed to get incredible shots as there are high sandy hills and mountains in the background.
This place is especially popular with both locals and tourists, so you can easily find the best trails. You will be able to give preference to both easy routes and more difficult ones if you are confident in your driving skills. The sand here is quite soft, so you don't have to worry about strong shaking while driving.
Conclusion
Fans of extreme sports and off-road driving should visit the United Arab Emirates, as well as drive an off-road vehicle through the deserts of Dubai and Sharjah. Here you can find routes of varying difficulty, both for beginners and professionals.
