The dubai desert safari tours offer unlimited adventure, entertainment, cultural experience, and unforgettable memories that you will remember forever.
However, since you know desert temperatures are extremely hot and the overall environment is harsh, you must come prepared to deal with these challenges accordingly. Besides, driving and exploring deserts on vehicles requires special driving skills and safety guidelines, which you should be familiar with.
In this blog, we will discuss some common mistakes to avoid while going on a desert safari self-drive tour in Dubai.
Common Mistakes to Avoid on the Dubai Self-Drive Safari Tour
Here are common mistakes to avoid when going on a Dubai self-drive safari tour:
Understand The Desert Terrain
The first and most important thing to remember when on a self-drive safari tour in Dubai is to understand the desert terrain. Keep in mind that driving on the sand is quite different compared to roads and highways.
Many riders who are beginners or maybe driving for the first time will surely find it challenging to drive on dunes, soft sands and rough tracks. However, there is nothing too much to worry about. There are tour guides available who can help you learn desert driving techniques, so remember to follow their instructions thoroughly.
Choosing the Wrong Vehicle
The self-drive safari involves driving your vehicle to the desert. Therefore, you must know which vehicle is suitable for driving in these conditions. Usually, 4×4 vehicles like Landcruiser, Jeep Wrangler, or Nissan Patrol are best for driving desert.
If you own any of these, then perfect; however, if you plan on renting one in Dubai, then choose these models. Further, rental companies can better guide which is best for driving in the desert.
Disregarding Weather Conditions
Do check the weather conditions on the day you plan the tour. Dubai weather is very unpredictable, and you must know in advance if there will be sandstorms and extreme heat on a particular day and then plan accordingly.
The best months for desert safari tours are winter ones, between October and March. The temperature in these months is ideal for exploring the desert on 4×4 vehicles. You can even come along with your children, Plan A Family Desert Safari, and enjoy the most memorable time of your life. However, again we would recommend that you check the forecast before booking.
Not Following Safety Guidelines
Always follow the safety guidelines when going on self-drive safari tours in Dubai. These guidelines include driving in the designated areas at a safe speed limit, not harming desert wildlife, and overloading the vehicle.
Also, pack plenty of water and small snacks to eat during the tour to keep yourself refreshed and energized. As we mentioned, desert weather conditions in Dubai are very hot and harsh, so come prepared to deal with them.
Driving Recklessly
The last and most common mistake many people make is being overconfident in their driving skills. They drive recklessly on desert dunes, which is very dangerous and even life-threatening because the vehicle might topple or get stuck in the sand.
Therefore, we would highly suggest that you drive carefully and have a tour guide on standby so you can quickly call him for help.
