Safaris in the desert of Dubai are a thrilling getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city skyline. While nighttime safaris differ from daytime ones, both offer a different experience. The choice remains yours and depends on preference and time availability.

DaytimeDesert Safari

HighLights:

Dune bashing: Feel the thrill of running at high speeds over the sand dunes in a 4x4 vehicle.

Camel riding: Enjoy the traditional way of experiencing the desert and take some great snaps for memory.

Sandboarding: Slide down the dunes on a specially designed sandboard.  

Quad biking: Take a powerful four-wheel drive across the desert floor.  

Sunset viewing: See the desert in all its glory during a spectacular sunset.  

Cultural activities: Arabic music and dancing with a BBQ dinner.  

Best for: Travelers who want to make the most of an exciting albeit brief adventure or have very limited time in Dubai.

 

Overnight Desert Safari

Highlights:

All the above daytime activities plus:

Star Gazing: View the beauty of the night sky in the desert, far away from the city lights.  

Camping: Take a camping experience beneath the stars with a Bedouin-style camp.  

Bonfire: Take pleasure in some sitting around the campfire, sharing stories and songs of old as per tradition. 

Breakfast in the Desert: Wake up to an energetic breakfast with an amazing landscape of the desert.

Best for: Those who want to have a complete experience, to get away from the city entirely, or people who love to camp and enjoy the outdoors.

 

KeyDifferences:

Duration: A daytime safari generally lasts 4-6 hours, whereas an overnight safari would extend to 12-16 hours.

Activities: Both offer about the same activities in the daytime; however, an overnight safari offers more nighttime experiences.  

Cost: Normally, safaris that involve an overnight stay tend to be a bit more expensive due to added accommodation and other nighttime activities.

Experiences: Overnight safaris are much more engaging and relaxing since one gets enough time to relate well with the desert environment.  

Choosing the Right Safari

 

This is solely left for your own decision because if you have little time or you want to make the experience action-packed, then daytime safaris will be your destination. For those who want their experience to be engrossing and enjoyable, an overnight safari will not be a bad idea.

 

Additional Tips:

 

Book in advance: Desert safaris are popular, and that is why it is best to book your tour well in advance.

Wear comfortable clothes: Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses.   

Check the weather: Temperatures change around the desert, so be prepared for hot days and cool nights.   

Go on a private tour: If you want something more personalized, then you need to consider booking a private desert safari.

You can choose a perfect desert safari experience in Dubai, considering how much you would like to do and how much time is available.
