If you feel the need for speed, but not of the skyward variety, then check out go karting. It’s not just for kids! Ghibli Raceway is a professional go-kart center, with four challenging tracks in one, built to FIA standards. The main circuit is 592 meters with the International Championship circuit 1,194 meters. As a competitor you are given racing overalls, a cotton balaclava and a full-face helmet. The marshals brief you on the rules of racing and then you are assigned your kart. The standard kart is 6.5hp and the expert kart (once qualified) is 13hp. As you whiz around the circuit, the computerized system clocks your current time and fastest lap alongside your competitors. The results are continually displayed on a large board at the side of the circuit. Go on your own and you will be placed with a group or make up a team. There are also races for children on a 220-meter circuit with a ‘cadet’ kart specially designed for kids. The raceway is situated on the airport road just outside Na’ama Bay next to Sofitel and the Hyatt hotel.

There are quite a few companies offering these rides and most of them can be found on the desert side of the main road running through Na’ama Bay. Take a look: Sunset Trip by Quad Runner. You don’t have to be an experienced biker, you should be able to choose from automatic or manual with a clutch and gears.

Whatever time you decide to become a desert biker then a good tip is to bring a “Kofeya” or headdress. There is a lot of dust and sand driven up by the quads and it can be a bit rough on the hair, face and eyes. It will also protect you from the sun- don’t forget to get a photo!
