Planning the Overnight Desert Safari Tour
Follow the step-by-step guide on how to plan an overnight desert safari in Dubai for your vacation:
Find a Well Reputed Company
The first step in planning an overnight safari in Dubai is to find a well-reputed tour company from whom you can book the tour. Search online regarding top companies in the city and read their customer reviews and check overall ratings before making your decision. Never book from a company that has negative reviews and where customers have reported bad experiences.
The reviews are available on tour websites like TripAdvisor and online travel forums on Quora and Reddit. Additionally, also look for suggestions from your relatives and friends who have gone on these tours before, maybe they can suggest someone trustworthy.
Compare the Package Details
Once you find the top tour companies the next step is to compare the package details of each company and the activities included in them. Also, check the prices of the different companies because they might vary a lot depending on the activities included.
For instance, the quad biking and photography services are additional services that must be paid for separately. You have to book a package within your budget and not exceed it.
Other common activities to look for in overnight safari packages are pick & drop, dune bashing, camel riding, sandboarding, campsite entertainment shows, BBQ dinner and breakfast. Some companies also give the option to upgrade the packages to include private dune bashing rides, private campsites with sofa seating, table dining and customized dinner menus. If you want a more private experience, these package choices are best.

Book in Advance
Once you have decided on the company to book from and the package that meets your preferences it is time to book the tour. An important tip to remember is to always book your overnight safari package in advance at least 6-7 days before the actual date.
Since these tours are quite popular everyone rushes to book one. Therefore it is important to book in advance to get the booking on the desired dates. The booking process is very simple; you can either do it over the phone or fill out the online booking form provided on the tour website.
While booking make sure to clearly mention the date, number of people, package to be booked and most importantly pick and drop location.
Pack Some Essential Items
Once booking is done it is time to start preparing for your overnight safari tour. This includes wearing and packing proper clothes along with some other items you might need during the tour. As for the clothing go for something lightweight and comfortable. Since you’ll be spending the night in the desert pack a jacket, sweater or shawl because it gets colder at night. As for the footwear we recommend wearing close-toe shoes and packing flip-flops for the night.
Some other items that you can bring are a water bottle, motion sickness medicine, sunscreen lotion, and most importantly a camera to capture the beautiful desert scenery and other memorable moments.
Conclusion
We hope you found this overnight desert safari Dubai preparation guide helpful. The safari tours are very popular among families who are looking to enjoy a perfect and memorable getaway in the city with their loved ones.
There are many types of safari tours to have in Dubai besides the overnight tour like Evening Desert Safari, Morning Desert Safari, Private Desert Safari and many more. Each one of them offers a unique and exciting experience and makes your vacation even more memorable.
