This well established 16 year old travelling and expedition company offers a rare opportunity to acquire a dominant player in a highly specialised and monopolistic segment of the adventure tourism market. The business has built a strong reputation among inbound international clients, operating premium heavy duty buggies and delivering high value desert experiences with exceptional safety standards and operational control.
The company is strategically located in Deira, operating from a 600 sq.ft office, a 1,300 sq.ft base camp, and an expansive 9,000 sq.ft storage facility. Its fleet includes 20 high performance buggies valued at approximately AED 1.5 million, featuring 3000cc V6 engines with 320 horsepower, along with an exclusive electric buggy prototype. The business also maintains a fleet of vehicles for client pick up and drop off, supported by outsourced vehicle suppliers to ensure smooth logistics.
The operational structure is lean and cost efficient, with 11 employees, of which 8 earn AED 2,500 or below, all on company visas. Total monthly salaries amount to AED 35,000, while overall monthly expenses remain controlled at approximately AED 50,000. Annual rent is AED 118,000, paid monthly without cheque commitments. The company carries no debts or liabilities, offering a clean and transparent financial position.
Financial performance has remained strong despite market fluctuations. The company achieved a turnover of AED 2.16 million in 2019, with variations over the past five years due to global conditions. Last year’s turnover was approximately AED 1.2 million, with audited financials completed and in house verification ongoing. Over the last two years, the business has consistently delivered a solid 40% net profit margin.
The company enjoys a powerful presence across major OTAs in the US and UK markets, including GetYourGuide, Truke, and other leading platforms. It also maintains strong B2B relationships with destination management companies and premium hotels in Downtown Dubai and Palm Jumeirah. All clients are international, with no walk ins, ensuring predictable demand and higher value bookings. Full insurance coverage of AED 5 million is provided through an Insurance company, reinforcing the company’s commitment to safety and compliance.
While the business has historically been family oriented and conservative in its marketing approach, a new social media team was recently introduced, though progress slowed due to geopolitical disruptions. With proper marketing, an expanded operations team, and strategic scaling, the company has the clear potential to triple its current turnover.
