Introduction
The Can-Am Maverick Dubai experience exists for one reason: some guests want more power than our standard Polaris RZR fleet delivers. Built by BRP, the Maverick X3's turbocharged engine and race-derived suspension are tuned for aggressive dune climbing and sharper cornering — a genuinely different feel from a smoother, family-oriented buggy. This is the tour for repeat visitors, off-road enthusiasts, and anyone who wants Al Badayer's Red Dunes at a faster, sharper pace.
Tour overview
After a briefing focused specifically on the Maverick's sharper throttle response, your guide leads a convoy toward Al Badayer's taller dune faces — terrain where the X3's extra torque genuinely matters. The route favours steeper climbs and tighter cornering sections over the gentler, flatter stretches used on our beginner-focused tours.

Safety
The Maverick's extra power means our guides brief drivers specifically on throttle control before departure — sudden acceleration is easy to trigger accidentally on a first drive. Roll cage, four-point harness, and mandatory helmet apply exactly as on every other tour, and convoy pace is still capped at a guided, controlled speed regardless of the vehicle's top-end capability.
Vehicle damage liability: no insurance or damage coverage is provided for the buggy itself. Riders are financially responsible for any damage caused to the vehicle during their ride.
Meeting point
Meet at the Red Desert base camp, Al Badayer Desert, Sharjah — directions on our contact page. Hotel pickup available as an add-on.
What to wear
Same standard as any Dune Buggy Dubai tour — closed-toe shoes, breathable layers, sun protection. See our what to wear guide for season-specific advice.
Why choose this tour
If you've already ridden a standard buggy and want more — more torque, sharper handling, a genuinely different driving feel — this is the upgrade. It's not the right first tour for a nervous beginner; for that, see our Sunrise Dune Buggy Dubai tour on the standard Polaris RZR fleet instead.
