Questions to ask your doctor

  • Is bumpy off-road driving safe for me?

  • What should I do if I feel unwell far from the city?

What we can and cannot do

We can describe the ride honestly and suggest calmer arrangements where possible. We cannot give medical advice and we will not encourage anyone to take part in something that may be risky for them.

Alternatives to consider

A private, slower-paced drive, a visit to the camp for dinner and shows only, or a different Abu Dhabi activity may suit you better. See other things to do.
