Evening desert safari tours are the ultimate form of adrenaline rush you can do with your family in Dubai if what you want is to spend some time closer to nature and breathe fresh air. Safari Tours accommodates everyone’s needs because, whether someone is willing to engage in adventurous activities or just enjoys beautiful nature and the landscape with desert settings. You can do both here.
Currently in 2024, the popularity of evening safari Dubai has seen an increase as many companies offer cheap tours and also require a permit from the UAE government for all people to abide by safety measures.
Adventure lovers should never miss out on desert safari tours. Here, there are many fun events to engage in, which we will discuss later.
What Famous Activities Can You Enjoy on an Evening Desert Safari Adventure?
Here is a comprehensive list of activities you can enjoy on an evening safari tour in Dubai:
Dune Bashing
The first and most popular desert activity that everyone craves about is the dune bashing ride. An expert driver who knows the desert territory at their fingertips drives a 4×4 Landcruiser or Prado in a thrilling manner while navigating the bumpy desert terrain that is sure to leave you breathless.
Dune bashing and similar activities are not a cup of tea for everyone. Those who are heart patients or don’t like doing daring things should definitely avoid it at all costs.
Quad Biking
Quad biking or ATV rides are also quite similar to dune bashing and might be even more exciting for some people who know how to drive them expertly on tough terrain. Quad bikes operate similarly to regular bikes, but they have 4 wheels that provide better stability and ensure the safety of the riders.
Your tour guide can teach you how to drive them. If you have never driven one before, remember to follow his instructions thoroughly, and you are good to go. Quad biking is not included in the regular package; you have to pay extra for it.
Sandboarding
Sandboarding is another exciting activity to do on an evening safari Dubai tour. Just like snowboarding in sandboarding, you glide down from a tall dune of nearly 200-300 meters height while maintaining balance on a wooden board. The speed of going down while the wind strikes your face is something you will remember forever.
Camel Riding
Evening desert safaris also allow you to experience some of the cultural elements of Bedouin society, and camel riding is one of them. Camels were the main means of transportation for Arabs for centuries, and you can ride one as well to understand what it’s like to travel on it.
This is a slow and bumpy ride, and you can see the beautiful desert stretching for miles and camels wobbling up and down. A guided expert will handle the camel, so you don’t need to be afraid at all. Do remember to witness the beautiful sunset views around the evening on your camel and capture them on your camera.
Campsite Entertainment
Delicious BBQ Dinner
At last, the evening safari tours conclude with a delicious BBQ dinner served in a Buffet style where you can try a range of dishes to fill your appetite. These include lamb chops, kebabs on skewers, naan, Arabic rice, steaks, and many other items. For starters, there is hummus, salad, and cracker chips to eat.
Many safari operators also offer vegetarian dishes to cater to the needs of their guests. You must inform your tour operator in advance if you want a vegetarian menu, and they will be happy to accommodate you.
What Famous Activities Can You Enjoy on an Evening Desert Safari Adventure?
- Avoid eating heavy meals before the tour starts, as you might upset your stomach because dune bashing, quad biking, and sandboarding can make you feel nauseating if you eat anything heavy.
- Apply Sunscreen lotion during the tour to protect yourself from harmful sun rays in the desert. If you haven’t bought one, you can purchase from local shops at reasonable costs with a cash amount.
- The evenings sometimes get cold, so you might want to consider bringing a sweater or a hoodie along, especially if you are visiting Dubai during the winter months. The night temperatures might fall below 10 degrees sometimes.
- Always book your safari tour in advance at least 6-7 days before to avoid last-minute charges during peak tourist season, which is mostly during winter.
