Tips For Desert Evening Safari Dubai

Women are best off wearing comfy, modest clothing. Think T-shirts, leggings, trousers, or shorts.

Go with sandals or sports shoes for the desert—closed-toe shoes just end up filling with sand anyway.

Even in the peak of summer, the desert drops to a comfortable temperature by evening, so you can fully enjoy the tour.

Pack a light jacket! The desert cools down quite a bit once the sun goes down.

Absolutely, kids are more than welcome on the safari! We also have baby and booster seats available. Just let us know when you book so we can have one ready for you.

Expecting moms should skip the standard dune bashing. We recommend booking a private tour instead, where your driver can skip the rough bumps and stick to a smooth, gentle desert drive.

Absolutely, seniors can request a gentler ride over the dunes or choose a safari package that skips the dune bashing entirely.

Wheelchair users are welcome on our private safaris. Our camp staff will be more than happy to help you out when you arrive.

The pickup time is from 2:00 – 3:00 PM and entirely depends upon your pickup location and time of season.

Yes, we only cancel in the rare event of severe weather that might compromise your safety.

Want to bring your drone? Just a heads-up that UAE law requires a permit before you can take to the skies.
