5 Tips to Remember for an Unforgettable Desert Safari Dubai Trip
These 5 tips will come quite in handy when planning for Dubai adventure tours with your family and friends:
Book The Tour From a Reputable Company
Always remember to book a desert adventure tour in Dubai from a well-reputed company that has several years of experience. Take some time to research thoroughly and find top and high rated companies in the city. Read reviews to know the experience of previous customers. Reviews are available on many sites and popular forums such as TripAdvisor and Quora.
A good company knows how to take care of customers and provide quality, as they have several years of experience. So you are guaranteed to get your value of money when booking a safari tour from a good and reputable company.
Choose an Ideal Timing for the Tour
There are 3 main safari options to choose from in Dubai, mainly the: Morning, Evening and Overnight safari. Although the experience is the same on all the three, the day timing makes a lot of difference.
The morning safaris are done during the early part of the day, when the temperatures are cooler and there are little to no crowds. The evening and overnight safaris have more activities and are more entertaining, but the temperatures are hot, plus there are more crowds too.
Also, the weekends are packed on safari tours, so if possible when Planning A Desert Tour In Dubai choose weekdays if you have time.
Wear Appropriate Clothes
Your clothing choices matter a lot since you’ll be exploring deserts where the temperatures are extremely hot and the dust/sand blows all the time. Wear comfortable and lightweight clothes and avoid wearing anything made from synthetic materials since they don’t absorb sweat too well.
Men can wear shorts with T-shirts and women can wear long skirts with shalwar kameez. Also bring a shawl, scarf or mask to protect your face from blowing sand which is very common in deserts.
Pack Some Other Essential Items
Remember to pack some other essentials that you might need on a desert tour like sunscreen lotion to protect yourself from harmful sun rays as well as a hat and pair of sunglasses for the same purpose and a water bottle.
Other important items include a camera to capture the beautiful desert sights and memorable moments from the tour with an extra battery and medications if you have been prescribed by a doctor.
Get an Idea of the Desert Environment and What to Expect
When traveling to the desert for the first time, you might be unaware of the difficulties you might face. Therefore, it is important that you take time to learn about the desert environment to prepare yourself mentally for the safari tour.
Desert is a completely different place compared to the city. The first thing to remember is that temperatures here are hot, the dust blows very often and campsites are not air conditioned. The camps are mostly shared with other tourists on a standard package unless you opt for private safaris and most importantly the dune bashing, quad biking and sandboarding are physically exhausting. If someone is a heart patient, then don’t participate in these activities.
The safari tour usually lasts for 6–7 hours and overnight safaris are the longest with 17 hours. Knowing all these help you prepare in advance. For more guidance and detailed information, please read our Ultimate Guide To Desert Safari.
