Desert safaris: Types

 

Morning desert safari

Morning desert safari

Who doesn't love a sunrise? They are beautiful in the Middle East. This is a great way to enjoy the desert's stunning morning views, and have a lot of adventure. You can go quad-biking, camelback riding, or dune-bashing. You can experience the sunrise desert safari to see the light on the vast, rolling sand dunes.

 

Evening desert safari

 

Evening desert safaris offer the same activities as the morning but include a full barbecue meal, cultural experiences such as henna and falconry shows and smoking a shisha. Traditional Emirati cultural shows like Arabian belly dancers or tanoura dancing performances are also included. You'll enjoy all this while taking in the breathtaking desert atmosphere and the golden orange-pink-golden sunset.

 

Dinner in the desert

 

This option allows you to enjoy the pure beauty of Dubai's desert without having to worry about the adrenaline-pumping adventure activities that are part of a regular desert safari. This option allows you to enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner in the middle of the desert, as well as a variety of activities that evoke the region's ancient Bedouin culture.


 

 

What's a desert safari like?

 

Desert safaris are a wonderful combination of adventurous activities, authentic cultural experiences and mouth-watering culinary delights. You can expect the following, depending on your desert safari selection.

 

Dune bashing

 

This is the best part of a desert safari. A powerful 4x4 vehicle such as a Land Cruiser will take you over the dunes and along the trails. As you drive across the golden sands at high speeds, you'll feel an adrenaline rush. The typical dune-bashing session lasts 30 to 45 minutes. Notice: Dune basking can be very stomach-turning or anxiety-inducing. So prepare for an exciting ride!

 

Camel rides

 

You can also ride a camel to marvel at the desert wilderness. This thrilling, but wobbly ride allows you to see how ancient Bedouins and early settlers traversed the Arabian Desert.

 

Quad biking and sandboarding

 

You can explore Dubai's desert sands in a more thrilling way by riding a quad bike. This is a great choice for first-timers and beginners. You must be at least 16 years of age and not have any medical conditions that would prevent you from engaging in this adventurous activity.

 

Sandboarding is another option. You can test your balance while you glide down the huge sand dunes. You can do this by securing your feet to a sturdy sandboard, and letting the sands guide your way.

 

Visit a Bedouin camp

 

Enjoy the Emirati hospitality in a relaxed setting with low-lying seating. You might find yourself sitting down for quite some time while you eat your delicious barbecue meal.

 

Cultural experiences

 

Every desert safari offers a variety of cultural experiences. The list includes shisha smoking and henna tattooing, as well as falconry and photos in traditional Arabian clothing. It offers a glimpse into Bedouin history.


 

Traditional barbecue dinner

 

You can expect a feast on overnight and evening desert safaris. The quality of your service provider will determine what you get for dinner. However, whatever you get, it will fill you up!

 

Local entertainment

How do you choose the right desert safari?
