The experience
The morning safari starts with a pickup in an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle and heads straight into the Dubai Desert for dune bashing: the driver navigates the high dunes while you experience the landscape from inside the vehicle. The route includes time to get out and sandboard down the sand, ride a camel across the dunes, and try quad biking if that appeals to you. A walk through the camel farm rounds out the stops, and you get a photo with a falcon at a designated picture point.
Throughout the four hours, the guide handles the route and timing, speaking English, Spanish, Italian, French or one of 26 other languages. Cold mineral water and soft drinks are unlimited during the trip. The vehicle returns you to your hotel by mid-morning, leaving the afternoon free for other plans in Dubai.
Is this one for you?The four-hour morning window means you're back in the city by mid-morning, leaving your afternoon open for other Dubai activities: ideal if you want the desert experience without committing a full day to it.
