Many types of safaris are offered in Dubai, but the Evening Desert Safari is the most popular one since it offers most activities and is conducted at the ideal time of the day; it allows you to partake in several activities and also gets to enjoy the best desert views.
Talking about desert views, if you are a photographer, then you will love the Evening Safari Dubai experience because the sunset views here are something you will cherish for a long time. To help you with that, here is a brief guide on desert spots you can visit to get the best sunset shots.
What Are the Best Desert Stops to Capture Sunset Views on Evening Safari?
Do take time and visit these stops to get the best angle and view of the sunset during your evening safari tour. Sunset usually occurs around 5-7:00 PM, depending on the season you are here. Ask your tour guide about the exact timings and get your camera ready.
Dune Tops
Go on top of high dunes to capture the vast, expansive desert against the backdrop of the sunset. When you are on top it gives you a panoramic view of the whole area, best for capturing the sun as it sets over the horizon. You can even capture 360-degree shots of the whole view and keep it as a souvenir of your memorable tour.
Camel Rides
You will definitely get a chance to enjoy camel rides on your evening safari tour, and these rides offer awesome sunset shots. The trick is that you can climb on top of dunes using camels and position the camel in such a way as to photograph the silhouettes of camels with the sun going down the dune on the back. It will surely be an awesome shot to capture if you get your timing right.

Desert Lakes and Oasis
When driving a quad bike or going on camel rides, you might come across some desert lakes or oases where you can capture stunning sunset reflections by using the water’s reflective surface.
Your tour guide can tell you the way to the nearest lake, if there is any, and you can visit there to capture this scenery.
When it comes to lakes, Al-Qadra lakes are a popular tourist destination in Dubai, visited by many honeymooning couples and families. It’s a heart-shaped lake and those who want a relaxing experience and want to enjoy picnics with families come here. You can also visit here for a relaxing experience and also showcase your photography skiils as well.
Wildlife Views
Just like camels, you can include other desert animals in your sunset photos for stunning images. Move around a little to see if you can find an Arabain Oryx, Birds, or sand cats for your sunset shots.
Try not to harm any of the animals during your photoshoot because Dubai has very strict regulations when it comes to protecting wildlife species in the desert.
Rock Formations
You can also add rock formations or any other geological formations of the desert, such as rock pedestals or mesas, in your sunset photos for a more realistic appearance. Try experimenting with different angles to see if you can capture the best shots, but be quick because sunsets don’t last forever.
Conclusion
We hope you have a memorable time on your evening safari tour and try out your photography skills by checking all the best spots we have highlighted above. Remember to pack your camera equipment, including a tripod, bag, and different focal lenses.
