Morning Magic in the Desert

Dubai’s December mornings are a perfect time to escape the urban hustle and dive into the serene beauty of the Arabian Desert. As the sun rises, casting a golden hue over the endless dunes, embark on a Desert Safari adventure that promises both thrill and tranquility. The morning desert safari kicks off at 8:30 AM, offering a roller coaster ride on the red dunes that will leave your heart racing. Feel the adrenaline rush as your 4x4 vehicle navigates the sandy waves, and capture stunning photos at designated stops.

The experience doesn’t end with dune bashing. Immerse yourself in the Bedouin lifestyle with a camel ride, a quintessential desert experience. As you sway gently atop these majestic creatures, you’ll gain a new appreciation for the vastness and beauty of the desert landscape. The safari wraps up by 2:30 PM, leaving you plenty of time to return to the city and explore more of Dubai’s delights.

“A great experience. We were collected from our hotel by Ali who told us all about Dubai en route to the dunes, about a 50-minute drive. We then had a 20-30 minute session of dune bashing which we really enjoyed. Plus time to get out for photos.” - Reviewed on 2022-10-16
