If you are in Dubai with family for vacation, we highly recommend trying the desert safari tours. Nothing comes close to the fun and excitement of exploring the deserts and enjoying thrilling activities.
The Evening Desert Safari is the most popular choice among families and groups who want to explore the traditional side of Dubai and escape the noisy and crowded city surroundings for a while. If you have never been on an evening safari tour before and don’t know what to expect, then be sure to read this brief guide, which explains the main activities to enjoy here.
Main Activities to Expect on an Evening Desert Safari Tour
Here are the main activities you can enjoy on an evening safari desert tour:
4×4 Dune Bashing
The dune-bashing ride is the highlight of the safari tour. It involves riding a 4×4, usually a Landcruiser, at high speed on the bumpy and uneven desert terrain. You can expect some action-packed thrill and excitement during this roller coaster ride.
The vehicle will be driven by an expert driver who knows the way around the desert, so be sure to strap your seat belts and get your cameras ready because this is going to be the ride of a lifetime.
ATV Quad Biking
Quad biking is another adventure activity to enjoy on an evening safari tour. ATV bikes are special four-wheel bikes made for driving in tough desert conditions where normal bikes can’t. On a safari tour, you can rent these bikes and take them out for an off-roading tour around the desert.
Driving these powerful ATV bikes in the desert is quite an amazing experience. Be sure to wear the safety equipment provided, such as a helmet, gloves, and goggles. For more safety tips, please read our blog on Safety Measures For The Private Desert Safari Dubai Trip.
Quad biking is not included in the standard safari package. You must add it separately for extra charges, which vary according to the duration.
Sandboarding
Sandboarding is similar to snowboarding, as the name suggests. It involves surfing down from tall dunes on special boards while maintaining body balance. It is a fun and entertaining activity suitable for every age group. If you have never tried it before, fear not—there are tour guides available who can help you master the basics. Remember to follow their instructions thoroughly.
Camel Rides
The desert safari tour also offers a chance to experience the local culture and traditions of the region. Camel riding is one such experience, where you can ride camels around the desert for a short tour and enjoy what it means to travel like a Bedouin.
These camels were once used for traveling in the desert and have long been an important part of Arab culture. The locals still haven’t forgotten their past, so visitors from around the world can experience them.
Campsite Entertainment and BBQ Dinner
The cultural activities do not end with camel rides. There is a lot more to experience yet. Right after the safari rides, the guests can relax at the traditional desert campsite and enjoy unlimited refreshments like water, Arabian coffee, tea, etc. There will be a special arrangement of entertaining performances like dance shows, fire shows, and falconry displays, along with a henna painting session.
Once these activities are over, the guests can enjoy a delicious BBQ dinner freshly prepared by the guests to end the tour and return home.
