Morning Desert Safari Dubai

Overview

Experience the Dubai desert at its most beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable — the Morning Desert Safari at AED 150. While most people do the evening safari, savvy travellers know that the early morning is the absolute best time to be in the desert. The air is cool, the light is golden, the dunes are empty, and the atmosphere is pure magic. No crowds, no heat, just you and the stunning Arabian landscape.

Your morning adventure begins with a door-to-door 4x4 pickup at 8:30 AM from your hotel or residence. Your experienced driver heads straight to the desert, where the real fun begins — an exciting 20-minute dune bashing session in a powerful Land Cruiser. The morning light streaming across the sand dunes creates extraordinary photography opportunities that you simply cannot get in the evening. Every dune, every shadow, every golden crest looks like a painting.

After the dune bashing, enjoy unlimited sandboarding — slide down the face of a dune on a board, over and over, for as long as you like. It is exhilarating, fun for all ages, and completely free. Take a short camel ride across the sand for a timeless, classic desert experience — and capture those iconic photos on the back of a camel with the dunes stretching out behind you.

Complimentary water and soft drinks are included throughout to keep you hydrated. For the ultimate thrill-seeker, you can add a Quad Bike / ATV / Dune Buggy ride at an additional cost — our trained instructors will guide you safely across the open desert.

By 11:00 AM, you are back at your hotel, with the rest of the day entirely free for sightseeing, shopping, or relaxing. The Morning Safari is also the perfect add-on before an afternoon city tour or a full day at a theme park.

Jain & Vegetarian Friendly: Since the Morning Safari is a pure activity experience with no meal involved, it is naturally 100% suitable for Jain and vegetarian guests. Complimentary water and soft drinks are provided throughout. No dietary concerns whatsoever — simply come and enjoy!

The morning desert offers cooler temperatures, incredible golden-hour light for photography, significantly fewer tourists, and a serene, peaceful atmosphere. If you have been to the desert before or simply prefer a quieter, more personal experience, the morning is magical. You also get your afternoon and evening free for other Dubai activities.

Yes! You can add Quad Bike, ATV, or Dune Buggy riding at an additional cost at the desert location. Our instructors will provide a safety briefing and guide you throughout. This is entirely optional and can be decided on the day.

Yes — the cooler morning temperatures make it very comfortable for young children. Dune bashing intensity can be reduced on request. Camel riding and sandboarding are fun for kids of all ages. Infants under 3 are free. It is also a short experience (back by 11 AM) which suits children's attention spans perfectly.

The Morning Safari (AED 150) focuses on pure desert adventure — dune bashing, sandboarding, camel riding — in cool, quiet conditions. No dinner or evening shows. Back by 11 AM. The Evening Safari (AED 99–199) adds sunset views, a full BBQ buffet dinner, live cultural entertainment (Tanoura, Fire Show, Belly Dance), and a traditional camp experience. Choose Morning for adventure + free afternoon/evening; choose Evening for the full cultural desert experience.
