Desert Trips in Dubai - info needed
All,
I am just new on this fabulous website and forum - will visit many times in the future, I am sure.
Quick question to anybody who might be able to help me: I happen to be in Dubai in April (passing through really) and I want to spend a day riding a bike into the desert to build my riding skills in the sand. I will not have any kit with me, and also need to rent a bike. Ideally, I would like to have a guide as well (or join a guided tour) so I woun´t get lost.
Can anybody help with with contacts in Dubai, rentals, guides, adventure tour organizers, etc.?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Try Sandstorm motorcycles in Dubai.
I rented a Honda 450CRF from them last month for a few days of dune bashing around Al Awir. They will also provide you with a guide and all your kit.

Give me a call when you're here and I'll see if I can get you a bike and take you out. It would need to be a weekend though.
If that doesn't work out, I can show you where Sandstorm is.

Hi,
you should contact James West ( james@ktm.ae). They are renting out 450's inclusive riding gear. Their "KTM Farm" is in Al Awir, a few minutes from Dubai. From there you can directly head of to the dunes.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
