Top things to do in Dubai
Why go on an adventure desert safari in Dubai?
When it comes to a desert adventure in Dubai, you should go on this adventure for plenty of reasons. We have listed some of the best reasons below to convince you of the adventure desert safari in Dubai.
Ride your off-beat vehicles
It's not just about riding in a jeep; it's about commanding powerful machines across landscapes your regular car wouldn't dare to touch. Imagine gripping the handlebars of a quad bike, feeling the raw power beneath you as you tear through the golden sands, carving your path and leaving trails of excitement. Or picture yourself behind a dune buggy, a beast designed to conquer these undulating terrains, leaping and twisting with exhilarating freedom.
A falconry show
Watch a mesmerizing sunset and experience the ancient art and dance of predator-falconry. Watch the skill of falconers' fast dives and birds. Pull on a glove and let the falconry sit on your hand. Capture the perfect moment for a lifetime!
Witness wildlife
While the dunes and activities offer their own thrills, encountering majestic creatures in their natural habitat adds a unique layer of wonder to your adventure desert safari. Imagine the thrill of spotting a graceful gazelle leaping across the golden sands, its horns silhouetted against the vibrant sunset. Or picture the awe-inspiring sight of a majestic Arabian Oryx, its white coat contrasting with the red dunes, a symbol of resilience and adaptation. See if you can spot the sand cats and falcons on your adventure desert safari.
How to choose the best adventure desert safari in Dubai – an easy booking guide
One of the most critical questions is choosing the best desert safari. Multiple things must be considered, from budget to safari type, inclusions to activities, and more.
Don’t worry; we have provided detailed information to help you decide quickly about a desert adventure in Dubai.
Pre-booking
- Choose from sunrise or sunset desert safaris that whisk you on an unforgettable desert adventure. Each safari starts with a thrilling set of activities like exhilarating dune bashing. Opt for exciting add-ons like quad biking for an extra adrenaline rush (charges apply).
- No need to worry about transportation! Convenient return transfers from your hotel are included in every package.
- Fuel your adventure with delicious breakfast spreads for morning safaris or evening buffets offering vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. For an even more lavish experience, upgrade to our premium safaris, which feature a more comprehensive selection of drinks, appetizers, and main course dishes to tantalize your taste buds.
- To ignite your evening under the stars, join our sunset safaris for captivating live entertainment that adds another layer of magic to your desert escape.
Morning vs. evening
While both morning and evening safaris offer a thrill-packed experience, the time of day you choose can impact your enjoyment of specific activities:
- Morning: Enjoy cooler temperatures and the golden glow of sunrise. Sandboarding is ideal during mornings as the sand is cool and firm. However, activities like camel rides might feel less comfortable under the rising sun.
- Evening: Beat the heat and witness the mesmerizing desert sunset. Activities like sandboarding become trickier with softer sand, but dune bashing and camel rides offer a unique charm under the starlit sky. Ultimately, the choice is yours! Activities like dune bashing are not affected by the time of day as they occur indoors.
