While Dubai offers a variety of things to do, no trip to Dubai would be complete without a desert safari.

From authentic Arabian food to quad biking, traditional entertainment to camel rides, the Dubai desert has so much to offer all ages and preferences.
But, with so many different desert safaris to choose from, making a selection may seem like an impossible task. Which is why we’re here to help you select the best desert safari in Dubai.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Considerations for Your Dubai Safari Tour
Dubai is blessed with endless deserts that provide a range of enjoyable and enlightening experiences for locals and tourists alike. But while some people may seek the thrill of quad biking through the sand dunes, others may prefer to experience the serenity of the desert at night.
Here we consider the different factors involved with choosing the right Dubai safari tour for you and your group:
Adventure Level
For many people, the most important factor when deciding on their ideal desert trip Dubai is the range of activities involved.
Not all desert safaris include adrenaline-pumping activities such as dune bashing and quad biking, although those which do are often the most popular.
But if you and your group would prefer a more relaxing desert safari, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy. A leisurely camel ride through the dunes is a unique way to take in the desert landscape. While authentic desert dining, henna hand painting and watching tanoura dancing are great ways to experience the traditional side of a desert safari.
Of course, many Dubai safaris offer a range of thrilling activities such as sand boarding and dune boarding as well as the chance to experience traditional desert camp activities. So, make sure you choose the safari tour that offers everything you’re looking for.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Time of Day
Dubai desert safaris also take place at varying times of the day. And often, the time of day has a bearing on what activities are on offer.
There are morning safaris where you can take in a beautiful desert sunrise, while daytime safaris are usually geared towards adventure sports such as sand boarding and dune buggy riding.
Evening safaris can offer you the chance to catch a stunning desert sunset, while most entertainment activities such as henna painting and dance shows tend to take place at night. And, there are even overnight safaris where you can enjoy the unforgettable experience of sleeping under the stars.
Food Preferences
If there is food included in your desert safari, you want to make sure that it’s to your tastes and specific requirements, if you have any.
Most desert safaris have a BBQ dinner which includes both Arabic and more international cuisines. And there is usually both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food on offer.
But, if anyone in your group has any food allergies then you should mention these when you book. Your service provider can then ensure that everyone in your group can enjoy their experience of dining in the desert.
Budget and Optional Activities
Price is obviously another important consideration when searching for the best desert safari tours. If all your group want to do as many activities as possible then a tour which offers a variety of experiences will work out more economical than two different safaris.
But if some of your group aren’t keen on certain activities then it could be better to choose a more basic tour with optional extras. This way you won’t end up paying for activities that some group members don’t want to do.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
