Polaris vs Can-Am Dune Buggy Dubai: Which One Should You Book?

Short answer: the Polaris RZR XP Pro is our single flagship buggy at a flat AED 1500, built for riders who want the most serious performance machine we run. The Can-Am Maverick X3 is a genuinely capable buggy too, but it’s offered across four packages from AED 600 to AED 1800, so it flexes to fit a couple on a budget just as well as a bigger group wanting a dedicated session. Neither is objectively “better” — they suit different riders.

Engine and Ride Feel

The RZR XP Pro is the more serious off-road performance buggy in our fleet — stiffer suspension setup, sharper handling on the dune faces, and it rewards a rider who wants to actually feel the machine working rather than just be a passenger on a guided loop. The Maverick X3 is still a proper buggy, not a toy, but it’s tuned to be approachable across a wider range of riders, from first-timers in the couple package to a full family group.

Price and Package Range

This is where the real decision usually lands. The RZR XP Pro is one vehicle, one price: AED 1500, full stop. The Maverick X3 starts at AED 600 for a standard couple ride and scales up through family, and the two dedicated 1-hour private packages at AED 1450 and AED 1800. If your budget is fixed around AED 600–800, the Can-Am lineup has an option; if you’ve decided to spend at the premium end regardless, it’s worth comparing the RZR XP Pro (AED 1500) directly against the 4-seater Can-Am 1-hour package (AED 1800) to see which vehicle you’d rather have for that budget.

Who Each One Actually Suits

Book the RZR XP Pro if you’ve ridden a buggy or quad before and want the sportier, more demanding machine, or you’re simply set on the flagship experience regardless of price. Book the Maverick X3 if you’re newer to off-road riding, bringing a partner or family group, or you’d rather put the extra AED 900 toward a longer desert safari package with BBQ and entertainment instead of a single premium buggy hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s more responsive and rewards a confident hand, but our guide leads every ride regardless of which buggy you book, so first-timers are fine on either.

Not in a single booking, but nothing stops you booking one on one visit to Dubai and the other on a return trip — a fair few of our repeat guests do exactly that.

Both look good against Al Badayer’s red dunes at sunset — it comes down to which machine you actually want to be seen riding, which is a personal call, not a performance one.
