The
Dubai desert landscape is perfect for a quad bike tour across the sand dunes
and is one essential activity that you should partake in if you hope to
experience the best of Dubai’s tourist activities.
Dubai
city in the United Arab Emirates is situated off the Arabian Gulf and is within
the Arabian Desert. The Arabian Desert is the fourth largest desert in the
world spanning the Arabian Peninsula from Yemen to the Gulf of Persia. The desert features huge red sand dunes; the
site for the Dubai quad biking tour ride.
A
quad bike is an all-terrain vehicle and is designed to travel across a variety
of terrains without difficulty while maintaining stability. The vehicle has
three or four wheels and travels on low pressure. It also has a single seat
with handle bars for steering. The rider sits on the vehicle and operates it
much like a motorcycle but the extra wheels give the vehicle a little more
stability. With Dubai’s sand dunes consisting of loose sand, a normal car would
probably sink so a quad bike is the most efficient vehicle for the tour.
What are sand dunes?
We’ve
been talking about the sand dunes for a while and you might be asking what
these dunes are but we’ve got you covered.
A
dune is a mound of sand which is formed by wind in a desert. Sand dunes form
when wind blows loose desert sand behind a sheltered obstacle which then grow
bigger as the sand accumulates. A sand dune is made up of two sides;
a. Windward side
This
is the side of the sand dune where the wind blows over and deposits sand
material, pushing it upwards.
b. Slip face
This
is the side of the dune without wind and is smoother than the windward side.
Sand
dunes are classified according to size; either big or small or according to
their shapes which differ according to the mode of formation of the dune. Types
of Sand dunes based on shape include crescent dunes, parabolic dunes, linear
dunes, dome dunes and star dunes.
