Well, no need to worry if it is you are one such individual. Today we will outline 5 important factors you must know when booking the Dubai Desert Safari Package for your group family. So let’s get started.
5 Points to Consider When Choosing Desert Safari Package for Family
Remember these 5 important points when choosing or booking a desert safari package for your family in Dubai:
Always Book From a Reputable Company
Always book the desert safari tour from a well-reputed company with positive customer ratings and prioritize the customers’ safety. Read customer reviews from popular review sites like Google Reviews, TripAdvisor, or Yelp. Due to the rise in the popularity of desert safaris in Dubai, many people have started tour companies that boost their services and exceptional quality, but beware they are not all the same.
Customer reviews help you get an idea of how good a company’s services are. Like how they tend to customers and what safety measures they follow etc. Safety is very important when it comes to desert safaris, especially with families and children so if you read any such review highlighting poor safety protocols then don’t hire from that company.

Choose the Right Type of Safari Tour
The desert safaris come in different types that vary according to the activities and timing of the day. The visitors have the choice to customize according to their preferences.
The Morning safari tour takes place early in the day when temperatures are cooler and is usually shorter therefore perfect for families with children. The Evening safari offers more exciting activities and entertainment shows and these tours are longer as well.
Those who prefer to enjoy a complete desert experience should book. The Overnight safari is an extension of the evening package and families who like to experience camping experience and enjoy quality time with their loved ones can book this.
There is also a Private Safari package perfect for those who like to enjoy a more exclusive and private experience with their families. They have access to a Private car, a guide, and a separate camp. The money spent here is worth the experience.
Age and Interests of Every Family Member
The next thing you need to consider is the age and individual interests of every family member. The children might prefer to enjoy shorter tours with family-friendly and less intense activities like camel riding and campsite entertainment which includes henna painting, falconry shows, and dressup photography sessions. Morning safaris or Overnight packages with camping are the best choices in these situations.
Teenagers and adults might like to try thrilling and adventurous activities like dune bashing, quad biking, and sandboarding and like to spend longer time exploring the desert. The Evening tours and complete Overnight packages are best for these individuals.
Of course, you can include all the activities in a single package if there are both teenagers and children in the group.
Price and Budget Considerations
The pricing of the tour and your budget are very important to consider when it comes to desert safari tours. The standard packages include all safari activities like dune bashing, quad biking, camel rides, sandboarding, and campsite entertainment with BBQ dinner. This is the most economical package for families and some companies might offer discounts for 6-7 persons.
There are also VIP and Premium safari packages which cost more but they offer a more luxurious and private experience compared to standard ones. Here you have access to sofa seating and table dining at the campsite with a dedicated guide and option to customize the dinner menu.
Time of the Year
Finally, the time of the desert safari matters a lot for families. We are not talking about the day timings which are Morning, Evening, and Overnight but rather the timing during the year. Usually, winter months are best when temperatures are cool and warm and therefore ideal for families.
Summer months are good as well because you might get discounted prices and crowds are lower too, however, the hot temperatures make it difficult for families to have fun if there are kids or old people in the group. So remember these pros and cons of going to desert safaris in these seasons.
