Ride with a team

Create your own team or request to join an existing one. Leaders manage members and requests.

Monthly champions

The leaderboard ranks rangers by successful rescues, for the current month and overall.

Ranger-only events

Some rides and gatherings are organised for rangers only, alongside the public ones.

A volunteer community, not an official emergency service. UAE Rangers coordinates community volunteers. Response times and outcomes are not guaranteed. In a life-threatening emergency, call 999.

Volunteering is at your own risk. Please read the Terms of Use before you apply.
