UAE Desert & Mountain Raid Tours
UAE Desert Raid Tours
Karl set aside some time to organise a non-profit cross-country community of riders to enjoy longer full-day rides. From the birth of these types of rides in 2022 the once-a-month long ride aka "Desert Rally Raid" has become very popular with numbers growing to 15+ riders at times and we are back this year with more planned. Be sure to check out our videos and gallery to see more on these awsome off-road bike Raids through the U.A.E.

There may be no better way to communicate what we do than through images. As you browse our site, take a few moments to let your eyes linger here, and see if you can get a feel for the awesome riding we experience.

About the desert raid
The Desert Raid is a friendly none competitive local community of riders that welcomes tourists and international visitors alike riding across the country on full-day and sometimes multiple-day bike tours. Tackling big sand dunes in the mighty UAE desert and on occasion, we cross river beds, mountain pass trails and beaches.
Season Closed and Re-Opens in September 2024
