Chasing Sunrise: The Wonders of Best Morning Desert Safari Tour in Dubai 2024

Morning Safari Dubai adventure is best for those who have busy schedules later in the day and want to spend quality time away from city crowds in a peaceful setting; even in deserts, early mornings are less crowded compared to evenings and nights. Here is what to expect on your morning safari tour:

Pickup in 4X4 Car Around 7:00 AM

Most tour operators offer pickup and drop services for desert safari tours since, as a tourist, it’s difficult for visitors to come on their own conveyance. Pickup for morning tours usually starts around 7:00 AM, and you have to be at the designated location in the city at the time your tour company asks you to; otherwise, you might miss it. If you can arrange your transport, that works too, because you will save the pickup costs.

Dune Bashing Adventure 

The morning safari tours start with a thrilling dune-bashing ride on a 4×4 Landcruiser, Prado, or a similar vehicle. You will sit alongside an expert driver who will take you on a journey that is sure to jolt your mind and get your heart racing.

Desert terrain is bumpy and consists of rolling dunes that stretch for miles, and driving in these conditions is what makes dune bashing the most popular activity of desert safari.

Enjoy the Morning Sunrise View

After you are done with dune bashing, you can go on top of a tall dune to rest a little and prepare for your next adventure. During this time, you have the opportunity to observe the beautiful sunrise view of the desert, and that is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so never miss this opportunity. Be sure to bring your camera to capture it and save it as a souvenir of the trip.

Quad Biking Ride

After that, you can begin your quad biking ride. Quad bikes are ATVs where you can ride and roam the desert, trying to go as far as you possibly can. While quad biking is similar to dune bashing, it is more thrilling, and we’re definitely sure about that. Adventure enthusiasts will definitely enjoy it and may even try to book it separately.

Quad biking is an open-air vehicle, and when you go fast, climbing high dunes and making sharp turns, you can feel the wind hitting you directly on the face. The main reason people enjoy them is that you do not need a driver to sit and drive for you; these are mostly single and double-seater vehicles that you can ride on your own if you know how to drive a normal bike because their mechanics are very similar.

Camel Rides

We talked about cultural experiences on desert safaris, and we all know camels have been an integral part of Arabs for centuries, so why not try one for riding if possible? Camel rides are a traditional form of transportation in deserts and are usually slow, bumpy, and relaxing. You can enjoy the beautiful rolling sands, flora, and fauna of the desert as the camel gently moves, guided by an expert.

Camel rides usually last 20-25 minutes, and you can increase their duration for extra charges if you want.

Campsite Refreshment

When you are done with all your safari activities, you can relax at the Bedouin campsite, which is decorated in a traditional style with carpets, drapes, and sofas. You drink water, coffee, tea, and smoke shisha while interacting with locals.

Hot Air Balloon Tour (Optional)

If you are interested in seeing the desert from a bird’s point of view and like to see how far the sand stretches, then you can book hot air balloon rides, too. These rides are ideal to enjoy in the morning since the temperatures are cool, and these balloons can easily float in the sky.

For couples and newly married persons, the air balloon rides are perfect for a romantic getaway, although they cost a little more and must be booked separately at additional cost.
