Finding the right Dubai Desert Safari ticket for yourself can be a challenge as there are so many options for you to explore. Here are some things you should consider when picking one.
Time of the Day
The daylight and night-time activities in the desert vary quite drastically.

Plan Your Dubai Desert Safari Experience
The location of your Dubai Desert Safari is quite a distance from the city limits. However, with round-trip transfers, you don’t have to worry about getting to the location by yourself. You can simply give the name or location of your hotel and an air-conditioned vehicle will pick you up and also drop you off after your safari.
The most popular Dubai desert safari locations include Al Aweer Desert, Hatta Mountains and the Dubai Desert Convention Reserve amongst others. Each location provides a different experience; at some, you might get to experience the traditional Bedouin culture, while at others you might get to witness interesting flora and fauna common to desert landscapes.
Here are a few things you should keep in mind when going on a Dubai Desert Safari.
- Book your tickets online and beforehand to properly plan your experience.
- Never leave without sunscreen. Even if you spend most of your time in the AC vehicle, you can still get nasty sunburns.
- Stay hydrated. You can always ask your guide for some water.
- Carry sunglasses or shades to protect your eyes.
- Travel light as you will move around quite a bit.
- Always follow the instructions of your guide or instructor. Your safety comes first.
It is important to dress appropriately when going on a Dubai Desert Safari, especially if you want to indulge in adventure activities.
- Wear loose, comfortable, cotton or linen clothing. Try to avoid synthetics.
- Carry a sweater or jacket to keep yourself warm when the temperature drops drastically in the evenings.
- Avoid wearing clothes that reveal too much skin as this isn’t appreciated by the locals. When confused, remember that you have to keep your shoulders and knees covered.
- If you want to wear shorts, make sure they’re at least mid-thigh length.
- Avoid short skirts as it can get quite windy and most meals are eaten while sitting on the floor.
- Wear a hat or scarf to keep your head cool.
- Wear open-toed footwear like sandals or flip flops to avoid getting sand into your shoes.
