Riding the Sand Dunes

Dunes's picture

I'll be in Qatar April 20th - 26th. And would love to ride the dunes. Does anyone know of a place I could rent a dirtbike. I know they rent ATVs, but I'm hoping to find something on 2 wheels. I would rent anything that has enough power to ride the sand.

Cheers...

P.S. At home, I ride a CRF 450 and RM 250.

I looked at Sealines website and it mentions ATVs, Camel riding, Jetskies, but no mention of Dirtbikes? It does seem like the place to start the ride into the dunes.

What do people do about equipment -- helmets, boots, etc...?

Is their a motorcycle shop in Qatar that sell motocross bikes?

Thanks...

I don't know the ATV rental fees. Sealine does say they have them.

I still haven't heard about Dirtbike rentals for the dunes. Is there a group of dirtbikers that go to the dunes?

There are dirtbikers enough for sure but unfortunately they only go the weekend and I haven't kept in touch. I'll ask my neighbour, he's got one....................I'll get back to u if I find out. (banshees are more fun in the soft dunes !)

Thanks - I've only ridden in Glamis, CA. Do you know if the sand is softer in Qatar?

Weekends - does that mean Friday and Saturday?

Yes, Friday and Saturday. There are tons of ATV rental guys around the dunes. I haven't seen any dirt bikes out there but that doesn't mean you couldn't trailer one out there. I would suggest NOT going on Friday or Saturday. It's crazy out there.

dragonfly212 said For dirtbikers out there... ...

For dirt biking in Qatar, please send an e-mail to qatar-duners/-a-t-/googlegroups.com to get registered on the distribution list. This is a distribution list that the dirt bikers in Qatar have for setting up times and places to meet to go biking on the weekends. A lot of people meet at 8am (or earlier depending on the time if year … earlier during the hot season) on Friday mornings at Sea Line to go for a ride, the distribution list is used as a communication tool between the riders to formalize these dates and times

Thanks everyone and most recently pwb78, Honey and Mila for the info on dirtbike riding in Qatar.

Anyone else know of a place or person that I can rent a dirtbike to ride the Dunes? Friday the 25th.

Best...

I have stuck my neck out and promised my son I will but him a quad bike so he can razz around the sand in it.

Is this feasable?

Do people go quad biking?

how old is your son? for sure you can rent a quad at sealine beach resort. if you talking for buy go to suzuky or yamaha shop. better rent first and let your son have a try. good luck and have fun this weekend.

JBH said Thanks Mila ...

My son will be 10 in November.

He has ridden before in the UK.

Is it legal to just take a quad out and ride around the dunes?

Are there any age limits etc.?

Sorry JBH, for late reply. I dont think there is age limit for riding the quad. I've seen some small boys maybe around 7 or 8 ages riding around all the time in sea line. 10 is a good age to start. I am sure he will enjoy so much. Just make sure he wear safety outfit.

smoke_talha said Bikes In Qatar ...

Ofcourse there is Bike Shops in Qatar! If you want Bikes of 2 Wheels like YAMAHA, SUZUKI, Kawasaki, etc... There is a Showroom Near Al Sadd Plaza. The Showroom is with the Al Fardan BMW Showroom.

But I don't think that there is any Dirt Bikes place to rent in Qatar. In Sealine the is only 4 wheel bikes. I only know the prices of Fiday;
400cc - QR150-QR200
I cant't remember any other prices

:-(

baldrick2dogs said Zaq et al ...

There's a shop at Selene petrol station, halfway between Wakra and Messaid that sell and rent quads and buggies (not sure about 2 wheelers though). Shop has big "Banshee" sign on it - you can't miss it.

Thex, he is 17, now in Grade 12, last year at school, and my daughter is 15, and my other daughter is 36, and my grandson is 8, and my granddaughter is 3, I guess. And I feel like I'm 12 most of the time.

Yeah thexonic, I could give you one advice: you are as young as you feel, and when you are surrounded by young people, you have no choice. That keeps you young all the time.
