15 Best Desert Safaris in Dubai

By Maresa Manara

A desert safari is one of the best ways to experience Emirati culture. From quad biking over sand dunes to camping under the stars to taking a sunrise hot air balloon tour, here's our pick of the very best desert safaris in Dubai. Ante up the adrenaline, and dive on in.

Bedouin Life, Falconry, and Wildlife Drive by Platinum Heritage Arrow

While this tour’s selling point is that it lets guests "experience life as a Bedouin nomad," being picked up at your hotel door in a luxury Land Rover sets things off on a more comfortable foot. Camels will take you to the Bedouin camp in time for sunrise, and the wildlife safari in the Desert Conservation Reserve, which stops to see local animals, is once-in-a-lifetime. Guides are great: they’ll help you prepare traditional Arabic dishes (Ful medames, Arabic bread, and desserts) and explain the ins and outs of local Arabic dancing.

Overnight Safari by Rayna Tours & Travel Arrow

Drivers take Al Awir road into the desert for some dune driving and photos at sunset. From there, head to the camp for camel rides. Next up, there’s a belly dancing show and open bar, henna painting, and a fire show. However, it’s the overnight experience that is truly special. Once all the other guests have left, guides set up camp with sleeping bags and blankets, and a special star gazing talk. Watching the sunrise from your camp over breakfast is unforgettable. If you pre-book, guides will stop for some sand skiing and quad biking opportunities on the way back to Dubai.

Evening Desert Safari by Atlanta Safari Dubai Arrow

There’s something magical about venturing into the desert at night, and this late afternoon-evening safari is no different. This is the kind of tour where guests feel completely looked after. Once everyone reaches camp, there are pre-dinner snacks, henna tattoo opportunities and live dance shows. The buffet barbecue dinner (couscous, fresh salads, lamb roasted below ground, grilled prawns, chicken and apricot stews) is one of the best we’ve had on a desert safari.

Overnight Desert Safari and Hot Air Balloon flight by Platinum Heritage Arrow

Luxury safaris don’t get much better than this, and the hotel pick up in an open-top vintage Land Rover’s your first clue. As you leave the city behind and head for the desert, guides regale guests with tales of Dubai’s history, as well as a run-through of local customs and traditions. Once you reach the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the tour turns safari, African-style. The camels that take you back to your Arabic tent in the evening are an extra special touch, and the early morning hot air balloon flight is a magical experience.

Dune Riders (Adventure Unlimited) by Dream Explorer Dubai Arrow

Adventurous travelers make up this tour’s tribe. Once you get to the desert, there’s a swift safety briefing and then you’re off: dipping and diving over sunburnt sand dunes, some of which lie at a stomach-dropping 90 degree angle. The trip happens in convoy, so there’s no need to worry about ending up lost in the middle of the desert. An hour of sand boarding adds extra thrills.

Quad Bikes Safari by Red Dunes Desert Safari Arrow

There’s nothing quite like charging over dunes and across the desert on your very own quad bike. Everyone is picked up at the hotel, and driven 30 minutes to the quad biking spot in the desert. While this certainly isn’t the most luxurious, or in-depth desert safari, it’s ideal for anyone who wants to experience local Arabic culture and have a bit of adventure on a short time frame.

Hummer H2 Safari by Sand Trax Dubai Desert Safaris Arrow

This four-hour tour begins with a hotel pick up in a huge white Hummer, which will whisk you out to the desert. Drivers are super organized and run you through the itinerary: thrilling dune drive, photos at sunset, a barbecue dinner, belly dancing, a dizzyingly good whirling dervish, shisha, and Arabic coffee so strong your spoon stands upright in it. Most people do desert safaris in a Land Cruiser, so the experience in a Hummer is completely different, and novel.

Desert Safari by Arabian Nights Tours Arrow

The adrenaline charge that bumping over the steep sand dunes gives you is amazing, but it’s the post-drive camp time that really stands out. Rather than the usual all-you-can-eat buffet and barbecue, this camp offers shawarma – a typical Arabic dish of ground meat, falafel or chicken with vegetables and fries, served in a wrap. There are opportunities to get henna tattoos or watch a belly-dancing show, or just spend time with friends at the table, before being driven back to your hotel.

Morning Desert Safari with Sand Boarding by Arabian Expedition Arrow

If you get to bed early, a desert safari in the morning is rather special – and this one with Arabian Expedition is one of the best. The drive over Dubai’s undulating dunes is fun, with experienced drivers navigating some hair-raisingly steep drops. Once you've caught your breath there’s sand boarding, with a guide showing you to how whizz down the slopes.

Desert Safari by Adventure Leisure Tourism Arrow

Adventure Leisure Tourism offers plenty of safaris, but their straight up desert safari is by far their best—and the range of activities included is far more eclectic than most. This activity-led tour will take guests dune bashing, on a camel ride, and through a whirlwind of cultural experiences, with a variety of shows you won't see elsewhere. For an extra fee, guests can add quad biking to the mix.

Flying Carpet with Dinner for Two Safari by Orient Tours Arrow

This romantic tour runs on request for parties of two. Things kick off with a dune drive in one of their luxury Jeeps, before you’re taken to a very impressive lump of sand for a sand-boarding lesson. A local camel farm follows, and finally a well-deserved private barbecue dinner at a desert camp, with performances. The pre-dinner falcon show is great, but it’s the whirling dervish performance that really captured our imagination.

Sunrise in the Desert Safari by Tribal Trail Tourism Arrow

Anyone wanting a personalized tour will love Tribal Trails’ early morning take on the desert safari. This tour is popular with families and older travellers who rise early, but are still up for an adventure, and the option to request a private car is part of the appeal. Drivers are attentive and kind, and safety conscious: a boon when navigating the rollercoaster-like dunes, and when strapping guests into sandboards.

Premium Sundowner Dune Dinner Safari by Arabian Adventures Arrow

A desert safari is one of the best things to do in Dubai, and this is the crème de la crème. Jump in the Land Rover and make for the desert, where you’ll get to experience a sunset dune drive in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (knowing a portion of your ticket goes to conservation). A glass of bubbly calms any post-dune-bashing nerves, as does kicking back on Arabian-style blankets with a shisha pipe. Of course, don’t forget to enjoy the dinner: an Arabic-style buffet and barbecue that are well worth writing home about.

Exclusive Morning Safari by Funtours Arrow

A cheerful morning pick up sets the tone for this family-friendly tour. Guides are smiley and informed – and they’re great drivers, too. There’s a definite game plan, with exactly 20 minutes of dune driving, followed by a camel ride and a short but sweet sand boarding session. Ideal for anyone with a short window to experience Dubai’s desert, this tour checks all the boxes.

Evening Red-Dunes Desert Safari Dubai by OceanAir Travels Arrow

This full-day desert safari packs adventure in, making it possible to experience the best of the desert in just a day. The dune bashing is great, but it’s the sand surfing that’s the real highlight. Guides show you how to soar down the dunes, before everyone piles back into the Land Cruiser and heads to the desert campsite. Anyone with leftover energy can head to the camel rides, but there’s henna painting and shisha pipes waiting on the colorful Arabian carpets, too.

Ultimate Guide to Desert Safari: All You Need to Know

Dubai is an astonishing global city, but its roots are entrenched in its humble beginnings, and its untouched desert landscape remains its iconic symbol and landmark. Visiting Dubai’s desert is as significant as the region’s other excellent attractions, such as Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, etc. So make sure you add a desert trip to your Dubai program, as this exclusive read will guide you on everything you should know about a desert safari in Dubai, such as its locations, the best time to visit, top activities and experiences, and important things to know.  

HOW TO GET TO DUBAI’S DESERT: SELF-DRIVE OR FULLY GUIDED

Being in Dubai means you’re in one of the safest places on the planet, so it goes without saying that traveling to its desert landscape on your own is safe. While it’s doable, you and your group members must be seasoned enough to maneuver the vehicle through the uneven, untamed, and remote desert terrain. You must have an international driving license and also be well-armed to tackle any unforeseen circumstances, like getting a wheel stuck behind the sand. If you are in Dubai for the first time or simply want to skip all the above hassles, it is recommended to book a fully guided Dubai desert safari through an experienced service provider; they will take care of every element of your desert trip, from hotel transfers and adventurous desert exploration to all desert-exclusive activities and experiences.  

WHERE TO GO ON A DESERT TRIP IN DUBAI?

It’s one of the most frequented desert safari locations in Dubai, mainly due to its proximity to the city center, about 35 to 40 minutes away.  

The desert landscape encompassing the Bidayer region is instantly recognizable for its mysterious red color and hence is also famed as the Big Red Desert.  

A 50-minute drive from Dubai will lead you to Lahbab’s desert region, which stands out for its unique desert terrain and bright orange-red sands.  

Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve

It’s more than a desert safari location; it is an untouched and protected area and also the country’s first national park.  

DESERT SAFARI TYPES

Desert safaris in Dubai range from a short morning desert safari to an evening desert safari (lasting about five to six hours) to an overnight safari in Dubai that lets you experience the thrill of both morning and evening safaris in a single tour. Whichever you choose, each of these safaris presents you with a spectacular lens to help you soak in the surprising mysteries and magic of what appears to be desolate at first glance.  

THINGS TO DO ON A DESERT SAFARI OR TRIP

The major attraction of any desert safari is a 40- to 45-minute dune bash session aboard a powerful, well-maintained 4X4 vehicle. It is mostly conducted under the supervision of an expert driver who will guide you through the high and low dunes at high speeds, sure to amuse and exhilarate all your senses.  

There is no better way to appreciate the unparalleled desert sands that stretch before you than on a classic camel ride. But it is more than that; it will transport you to an ancient era when this experience was the sole way to navigate the compelling golden sands and explore the trade routes.  

Witness Sunrise and Sunset

Watching the blazing sun rise or set against the sheer desert beauty is an indescribable experience. Take an early morning safari to catch up with the sunrise and an evening desert safari for sunset views. But if you don’t want to miss both views, consider going on an overnight desert safari.

ATV Adventures

From quad bikes to dune buggies, pick your adventure to discover the Arabian Desert’s beauty and tranquility at your pace with a sprinkle of sheer fun and thrill. The best thing is that they mostly don’t require any particular skill to ride these ATVs (all-terrain vehicles). If you don’t want to participate in intense actions, you can test your balancing skills in the desert in a sandboarding session.

Participate in Cultural Activities

A desert safari offers the rare chance to indulge in activities and experiences that reflect generations of Bedouin traditions. They are as unique and incredible as henna tattooing, Shisha smoking, and falconry, to name a few. Moreover, you can take home fantastic souvenir pictures snapped wearing traditional Emirati dresses.

Savor a BBQ Dinner

It is one of the inevitable segments of an evening and overnight desert safari, ensuring a sensory feast with many local and traditional flavors to tantalize your taste buds.

Watch Traditional Performances

It’s another highlight of the evening and overnight desert safaris, where the brilliant Tanura artists and talented belly dancers breathe life into the fascinating safari with their rhythmic live performances.  Camping Under the Stars: It is probably the most looked-forward-to segment of an overnight desert safari! Unplug from your buzzing routine as you leave all worries about the world behind and camp under the starry sky amid the silence of the desert in the cozy comforts of your modest tent.

Aerial Activities

A desert trip in Dubai is not restricted to the above activities. Depending on your preferences, you can take in the Arabian Desert from an unrivaled perspective. Sign up for a hot air balloon ride that lets you float like a cloud over the desert, or consider going on an exciting paramotor session. If you want to take it to a new level, nothing comes close to a nerve-wracking skydiving experience where you will jump out of an aircraft at over 12,000 feet. The one-minute freefall and the most magnificent views of the desert make it an unforgettable desert adventure.

TOP THINGS TO REMEMBER ON A DUBAI DESERT SAFARI

• The best time to take a desert safari in Dubai is during the winter months (November to March). The summer months, mainly July and August, are unbearably hot.
• Dress modestly and appropriately for your desert trip; carry a shawl or a light jacket for your early morning and evening desert trips in the winter.
• Wear comfortable shoes, apply sunscreen, and use sunglasses to protect your skin and eyes from the intense UV rays.
• Don’t attempt to participate in activities like dune bashing, especially if you are pregnant, have undergone any surgery recently, or suffer from any kind of heart ailments.
• Book a private desert package for an exclusive desert experience with your intimate group.

If you think Dubai’s desert is just a stretch of endless lifeless sands, visit here at least once in your lifetime, and it will forever change your perception. It’s a playground for adventurists, a spiritual heart for history and culture enthusiasts, and an unrivaled splendor for nature lovers and leisure seekers. In fact, a desert safari in Dubai is more than just getting introduced to a different side of the city; it’s like journeying yourself to a bygone era and reliving a slice of traditional, modest Arabia!

1 thought on “ ultimate guide to desert safari: all you need to know ”.

Wow, this looks like a fun activity if you’re looking for a unique blend of adventure and cultural experience. It’s not just a ride through the sand dunes, it’s a journey into the heart of the desert where you can experience traditional Bedouin life, enjoy a sunset barbecue, and even try sandboarding. It’s like a rollercoaster ride, but with camels and a cultural twist. Thanks for sharing and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

Things to know before going on your first desert safari in Dubai

Look past its towering skyscrapers, futuristic architecture, and spectacular skyline and you’ll find a city that is rich in culture, tradition and history, kept alive in the deserts beyond by Dubai’s desert-dwelling Bedouins.

Uncover the intriguing Emirati culture on a desert safari into the unknown and experience the unique and everchanging landscapes that surround this desert city, from the calm lakes of Al Qudra to the “Big Red” dunes of Al Badayer.

Here are all the things you need to know before planning your first desert safari in Dubai .

What are the different types of desert safaris in Dubai?

Whether it’s on a luxurious range rover or a thrilling 4x4 drive, at dusk or at dawn, there are many different types of desert safaris available for you to experience the beauty and rich culture of Dubai’s deserts. Depending on your interests and travel preferences, here are some of the most popular types for you to choose from.

Morning desert safaris

Starting as early as 4:30 a.m., most morning desert safari tours will pick you up from your hotel accommodation and drive you straight into the heart of the desert. The predawn tours allow you to catch the sunrise and bask in the quiet and cool morning before the crowds start trickling in — perfect for enjoying adventure activities on the dunes without the harsh afternoon sun beating down on you.

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. Some morning desert safaris include exclusive morning-only activities like hot air balloon rides over the desert . Cap off your morning with a delicious breakfast, complete with Arabic coffee, dates and traditional sweets in a Bedouin-style camp. This Morning Red Dunes desert safari tour by Oscar Knight Tours will get you back to your hotel by early afternoon, giving you the rest of the day to explore the beautiful city of Dubai.

Evening desert safaris

If you’re not one for early mornings, an evening desert safari promises you that quintessential Dubai desert experience. Your evening desert safari tour typically begins in the late afternoon between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., starting with adventure activities under the sultry heat like falconry, sandboarding, dune bashing and quad biking. Before the sun sets, make your way back to camp on a languid camel ride and marvel at the scenery as the vast desert descends into magical hues of yellow, orange and blue.

But it’s when night falls that the desert comes to life. Tours like the Dubai Evening Desert Safari Tour by Dream Night Tours offer cultural activities like henna-painting, captivating belly dances and fire show displays, as you feast on a delicious barbecue dinner of kebabs and grilled meats, and smoke a pipe of shisha. Let your hair down and enjoy an Arabian night in the desert. Your host will bring you safely back to your hotel at the end of the night.

Overnight desert safaris

If you can’t decide between a day or night desert safari, you can enjoy the best of both worlds on an overnight desert safari tour. Over 14 to 18 hours, your full desert experience starts in the late afternoon with adventure activities to get your heart pumping. At night, enjoy live performances and delicious food, with the addition of a unique camping experience under the twinkling desert sky in a Bedouin-style tent. Wake up to fresh Arabic coffee before heading back to Dubai for a full day of exploring the city.

Spending the night in Dubai’s deserts is not recommended without a guide, so book a tour with Dubai Overnight Safari with OceanAir Travels to have your itinerary and needs covered for your overnight desert expedition.

How much does a desert safari in Dubai cost?

With plenty of different types of tours available, the cost of a desert safari will differ based on the operator, the length of the tour (whether it’s in the day, night, or overnight), the activities included, the type of transport provided, food options and many more.

Budget-friendly desert safaris

If you’re looking for a no-frills desert experience — exploring the dunes on foot or on a self-guided drive — some of the cheapest desert safaris in Dubai start from as low as AED36 to AED73 (USD10 to USD20) with hotel pick-up included. But for an additional AED110 to AED 183, you can upgrade your desert safari tour for more comfort and add a couple of must-do desert activities to your itinerary, while remaining relatively affordable.

From only AED146, the Dubai Red Dune Desert Safari by Dream Journey is a great value-for-money tour option that includes camel riding, sandboarding, dune bashing, sunset photo ops and an upgrade option to include a desert camp visit with fun camp activities and food. If you’re traveling as a group, you’d get good value from the Dubai Desert Safari Private Car tour , which translates to just AED183 per person for a group of five.

Luxury desert safaris

Explore the Dubai desert like Emirati royalty and splurge on a luxury desert safari with prices that range anywhere from AED367 to AED1836 per person. These high-end tours often include hotel pick-ups in a luxe private vehicle, fancy drinks and multi-course meals, private campsites and accommodation, and other premium add-ons.

For just AED367 to AED734, you can upgrade to luxury desert safari options like the Premium Luxury VIP Desert Safari and Dubai Heritage Land Rover Desert Safari that include unique touches like a wildlife safari on a vintage Land Rover, bread and coffee-making demonstrations, multi-course dinners and an overnight stay in a retreat that is fit for royalty.

If you’re looking to splash out on a romantic anniversary, birthday or celebration, the Platinum Luxury Desert Safari that starts from AED1818 includes a private Range Rover desert tour, a wildlife safari in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and a decadent six-course dinner in the middle of the desert.

When’s the best time to go on a desert safari in Dubai?

The best months to go on a desert safari in Dubai are between November and March during winter when the weather isn’t unbearably hot in the afternoons. But the pleasant weather also means that it’s peak tourist season, so crowds at popular attractions are to be expected.

However, the climate in the desert is vastly different from that in the main Dubai city. Temperatures in the evenings and nights in the desert are typically lower than in the city, so an afternoon or evening desert safari in the summer months are great experiences as well, with many desert safari operators providing cooling units at camps and offering the option of closed air-conditioned vehicles. Note: Because of the heat, most tour operators do not run morning desert safari tours during summer.

What to wear on a desert safari?

If you’re not keen on finding bits of sand and dust chafing every part of your body, here’s our guide on what clothes to wear and pack for your desert safari:

• Choose breathable and loose fabrics like linen and cotton in light colors that absorb less heat.
• Long-sleeved tops and pants are the way to go to protect you from the sun while also keeping you warmer at night. It’s also more comfortable when you’re sitting on a camel or straddling a quad bike!
• Avoid skirts if you plan to take part in any adventure activities.
• Pack a jacket for when it gets chilly in the evening and night. A shawl is also a great option to keep warm, while also protecting you from the sun and dust during the day.
• Wear sunglasses, a sun hat and pack on the sunscreen.
• While covered shoes are sensible footwear options, sandals are the best as they stay on and are easy to clean off the sand.

Other tips for your first desert safari in Dubai

You’re almost ready to embark on your first desert safari in Dubai. But before that, we leave you with some final tips to make the most out of your epic adventure into the deserts of Dubai.

• Stay hydrated. Bring plenty of water with you and make sure you have cash on hand in case you need to buy more along the way.
• Don’t bring or wear valuables—you might lose them in the sand.
• Dune bashing can get rough. Avoid eating or drinking too heavily before the experience and definitely avoid the activity if you’re pregnant or have serious medical conditions.

Do your research and read reviews to find the best desert safari tour in Dubai that is suitable for your budget, travel style and interests. But most importantly — let go, let loose and let the beauty of the Arabian desert take you.

Start by understanding the various types of tours, such as morning safaris, evening safaris, or overnight camping experiences. Each tour offers a unique perspective on the desert, and your choice depends on your preferences and schedule.

Research different tour operators and read reviews to ensure they provide a high-quality experience. Look for operators that have knowledgeable guides, well-maintained vehicles, and a commitment to safety. Remember, a reputable operator can make all the difference in creating a memorable desert safari.

Carefully review the tour itinerary and inclusions. Does the tour include transportation to and from your accommodation? Are activities like dune bashing, camel riding, and cultural performances included? Understanding the itinerary will help you choose a tour that aligns with your interests and expectations.

By investing time in researching and planning, you can ensure a desert safari tour that exceeds your expectations and creates lifelong memories.

Best Time for a Desert Safari Tour

The desert climate can vary significantly throughout the year, so choosing the right time for your safari adventure is important. While the desert may seem scorching during summer, the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn offer more moderate temperatures. Consider the following factors when selecting the best time for your desert safari tour:

1. Temperature

Summers can be extremely hot, with temperatures reaching unbearable levels. If you’re sensitive to heat, it’s advisable to visit during the cooler months when temperatures are more comfortable.

The popularity of desert safari tours can vary throughout the year. If you prefer a quieter experience with fewer tourists, consider visiting during the off-peak seasons. This way, you can enjoy the serenity of the desert without the hustle and bustle.

3. Weather conditions

Keep an eye on weather forecasts before planning your tour. Extreme weather conditions, such as sandstorms or heavy rains, can affect the feasibility and safety of certain activities. Choose a time when the weather is stable for a more enjoyable experience.

4. Special events

Check if there are any special events or festivals happening in the region during your visit. These events can add an extra layer of excitement and cultural immersion to your desert safari experience.

Essential Tips for First-Time Safari Adventurers

As a first-time safari adventurer, coming prepared and making the most of your experience is important. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind:

1. Dress appropriately

Wear loose, breathable clothing that covers your skin to protect yourself from the sun. Opt for light-colored fabrics that reflect heat and consider wearing a hat and sunglasses.

2. Stay hydrated

The desert climate can be dehydrating, so drink plenty of water throughout the tour. It’s advisable to carry a refillable water bottle to ensure you stay hydrated during your adventure.

3. Protect yourself from the sun

Apply a high SPF sunscreen and reapply it regularly. Use a lip balm with SPF to prevent chapped lips. Additionally, seek shade whenever possible and wear protective clothing to minimize sunburn and heat exhaustion risks.

4. Follow safety instructions

Listen carefully to the safety instructions provided by your tour guide and follow them diligently. Desert safaris involve certain risks, and it’s important to prioritize your safety at all times.

5. Immerse yourself in the experience

Embrace the unique opportunities the desert safari offers. Engage with your surroundings, interact with the local culture, and be open to new experiences. Don’t forget to capture memories through photographs and videos to cherish for a lifetime.

Making the Most of Your First Desert Safari

A desert safari is not just about the activities; it’s about immersing yourself in the desert environment and embracing the beauty of the surroundings. Here are some ways to make the most of your first desert safari experience:

1. Disconnect from technology

Take this opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and fully engage with your surroundings. Put your phone aside, breathe in the fresh desert air, and savor the moment.

2. Try optional activities

Many desert safari tours offer additional activities like sandboarding, henna painting, or getting a traditional Arabic makeover. Don’t hesitate to try these optional activities and add more excitement to your adventure.

3. Interact with the locals

Engage with the Bedouin people and learn about their culture and traditions. Strike up conversations, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of their way of life. This personal connection will enrich your desert safari experience.

4. Capture the magic

The desert landscape offers incredible photo opportunities. Take the time to frame the perfect shot and capture the awe-inspiring beauty of the desert. Whether it’s a stunning sunset or the unique patterns in the sand, let your creativity flow.

5. Enjoy the silence

The desert is known for its tranquility. Take a moment to sit quietly, close your eyes, and appreciate the peacefulness of the surroundings. Allow yourself to be present and soak in the serenity.

Unique Desert Adventure for First-Timers

If you’re seeking a truly unique desert adventure, there are a few exceptional experiences you can consider:

1. Hot air balloon rides over the desert

Experience the desert from a different perspective by taking a hot air balloon ride. Watch the sunrise as you float above the dunes, taking in panoramic views that will leave you breathless.

2. Overnight camping experiences in the dunes

Extend your desert safari by spending a night under the starry sky. Sleep in a traditional Bedouin camp or go for a more adventurous camping experience in the heart of the dunes. Wake up to the golden hues of the sunrise and indulge in a delicious breakfast in the desert.

3. Desert wildlife encounters and nature walks

Join a guided nature walk through the desert and learn about its unique ecosystem. Get up close with desert wildlife, such as the elusive Arabian oryx or gazelles. An experienced guide will help you appreciate the delicate balance of nature in this arid landscape.

First-Time Safari Travel Checklist

Before embarking on your desert safari tour, it’s essential to have a checklist of essential items to pack and important considerations to keep in mind. Here’s a list to help you prepare:

1. Clothing

Pack loose, comfortable clothing suitable for the desert climate. Include a lightweight jacket or sweater for cooler evenings.

2. Footwear

Opt for closed-toe shoes or sandals that offer support and protection. Sand can get hot, so avoid wearing open-toe shoes.

3. Sun protection

Pack sunscreen with a high SPF, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a lip balm with SPF.

4. Water bottle

Carry a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the tour.

5. Personal medication

If you have any essential medication, ensure you carry an adequate supply.

6. Camera and accessories

Capture your desert safari memories with a camera or smartphone. Don’t forget spare batteries and memory cards.
