E.M.A dusts off the ‘Monster Experience’
| 6th January 2022
Dreaming of a getaway? E.M.A finds fun in the sun riding the Dubai dunes. Join her for the ride of your life!
It’s been another adventurous month in Dubai with the Christmas and New Year Eve celebrations plus we’ve even had some torrential rain (rain in the Arabian desert I hear you say?)
And in between the festive fun and unexpected weather conditions I’ve been checking out some more extreme sports in the UAE with my good friend Lorna Bancroft.
This time we got our motor heads on and headed to Monster Experience to ride the sandy dunes on some grizzly 350cc quad bikes.

ABOUT MONSTER EXPERIENCE
Monster Experience offer tailor-made dirt bike safaris for individuals and groups. There are a range of exciting extreme packages and high-end rides to choose, from the likes of quad biking, dune buggys or motorbike tours, this is defiantly the coolest way to explore the desert and all first-time riders are welcome.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON ARRIVAL
We were super excited to try out Monster Experience and it just so happened that mine and Lorna’s fathers were visiting Dubai at the same time, so we took the old geezers along for the ride.
It was only a 45min drive from Dubai to the Monster Experience headquarters and it was easy enough to find as you’ll see a big sign off the main road directing you straight there.
After a bit of paperwork and choosing which quad bikes we wanted to ride (we opted for the Grizzly 350CC not too fast but not too slow) we put on some goggles, trust me you need to wear these goggles the sand sprays up in your eyes, we were ready to go!

HOW I FELT QUAD BIKING IN THE DESERT
It was my first time riding a quad bike and yes, I did get left for dust at first, plus I got stuck on one of the sand dunes. But I soon got the hang of it and ended up at the front of the pack loving life soaking up the views across the desert.
The quad bikes are very easy to ride and I felt safe at all times plus our tour guide was always on hand to help and he made the whole trip extremely enjoyable.
In-between racing around the desert we stopped off at a couple of scenic spots to take pictures and videos plus came across camels and other desert wildlife along the way.

THE AFTERMATH
We were absolutely buzzing when we got back to HQ, it was such an amazing experience to share with our fathers and one I’d defiantly do again now I’m a professional quad biker.
There’s a lovely outdoor seating area looking out towards the desert so we chilled there for a bit chatting about the fun we’d just had over some sandwiches then booked in for another adventure, this time with Monster Experience sister company Popeye Jet Ski which I will be telling you about in my next column!
