No not really. But you could rent out a 4x4 and go offroading, but that could turn out to be an expensive affair specially if you damage anything. Which being a newbie at offroading you most probally will.

AFAIK only Budget rent a car will let you rent a "desert ready" Land cruiser, basically steel bumpers and a rollcage, depending on availablity as most of these are rented out to Arabian Adventures. Comes up around to the tune of a 1000 clams per day. So a bit pricey.

You can rent out quads/atv's on a hourly basis but I hate those damn things

hello,

theres a lot you can do just like shaf mentioned in his list!

but you got to do something which you like!

since my background is IT / electronics i started off with radio controlled cars.. best thing is you can drive them around anywhere since there are two types i.e electric & petrol and they come in all sizes!

heres the car i have got right now


after radio controlled cars i than started off with radio controlled helicopters and now planning on making my own UAV ;)

so good luck with whatever you decide to do!
