Your Overnight Desert Safari Dubai Tour Checklist

Overnight Desert Safari

If you have never been on an Overnight Desert Safari tour in Dubai then we highly recommend trying it on your next visit to the city. We guarantee there is no other activity in the entire that provides such an exciting and fun-filled experience that combines adventure, thrills, cultural learning, and an opportunity to spend the night in the desert.

However, before you start packing get all excited there are a couple of things to keep in mind, and the most important of them is what to pack for the desert safari overnight tour. Since you’ll head to the desert and stay there as well you must bring along some essentials that will come in handy. To help with that we have written a detailed guide highlighting the overnight safari tour packing checklist.

What Items to Include in Your Overnight Desert Safari Checklist?

Here are some important items you must have for your overnight desert safari Dubai tour checklist:

Wearing and Packing Essential Clothes

Clothing choices matter a lot when going on overnight desert safari tours because the temperature varies a lot in the desert. During the daytime, it is unusually hot and warm while at night the temperature drops, and it gets a little chilly.

During the day we would recommend that you wear lightweight and comfortable clothes to keep yourself cool. Usually, cotton and linen clothes are best to wear in these conditions. However, if you plan on staying for the night, pack sweaters, shawls, or light jackets.

As for the footwear, wear closed-toed shoes or sandals which makes it easier to walk in sand and enjoy safari activities like camel rides and quad biking. Flip-flops are also good option for walking around but not for safari activities. 

Overnight Camping Gear

Most tour companies in Dubai provide every essential item to their guests who plan on staying the night in the desert. This includes first-class camping facilities with beds, blankets, pillows, etc. However, you can also choose to set up your separate camp in the desert if you have all the equipment available which can be more cost-effective.

If you are planning on setting up your camp then bring a sleeping bag, blanket, and a compact pillow. You will also need a flashlight if you plan on exploring the desert.

Personal Items

Personal Items

You will also need to pack some personal items you might need during the tour. This includes sunscreen lotion that helps protect your skin from harmful sun rays during the day as well as a hat and sunglasses for the same purpose. Bring motion sickness medicine too because some people who are trying 4×4 dune bashing and quad biking will probably feel nauseous.

Other things you can pack are lip balm because desert air makes your lips crack and water bottles to keep yourself refreshed throughout the tour.

Lastly and most importantly you must bring a camera for capturing beautiful desert sights and other memorable moments from the tour with your group. Buy a small backpack where you can put all these items and carry them easily.

Identification Documents

Keep some ID documents with you when travelling to the desert for a safari tour. Usually, tour companies need some form of ID to verify your booking and to keep a record. As an international tourist, you can bring a passport and it is acceptable.

Some tour companies need ID to verify that you are old enough to participate in certain safari activities where restrictions apply like dune bashing, quad biking, etc.
