Dubai’s Evening Desert Safari is one of the must-try experiences. So, do you want to make the most of this adventure? Here are a few tips that help you.

• Evening desert safari in Dubai is a year-round activity. But, watch out for the best seasons to live every moment. Winter or spring is the best time as the weather remains cool and pleasant.
• Dress up for the weather. Summer days call for light and breathable clothes. Also, carry the summer essentials like hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
• A light jacket or hoodie is required to stay warm, especially when going for the evening desert safari in Dubai.
• Wear safari-appropriate clothes like light-colored full-sleeved tops with joggers or long pants. It will help you stay cool and prevent constant sun exposure.
• Instead of flats or flip-flops, opt for hiking boots to protect your feet from getting heated up.
• Be responsible about your essentials such as phone, wallet, and precious jewelry. Best if you carry them in a small bag. If you lose anything, the company shouldn’t be held responsible for it.
• Don’t forget to read the company’s terms and conditions before booking the package.
• Tourists are welcome to click photos and videos of the activities. But, don’t film people (mostly women), government, or military buildings.
• Please avoid littering in the desert or anywhere else in Dubai. The city has strict cleanliness laws. So, always dispose of the waste properly.
• Smoking during the desert activity is a strict no.

• Try booking your safari on a weekday because camps are usually less crowded and the experience feels calmer.
• If you are travelling in a group of four or more, a private transfer is usually more comfortable and doesn’t add much to the cost.
• For a cozier setup, consider upgrading to a premium safari where you get better seating and an improved dining experience.
• If you enjoy shisha, go for a private table option so you can relax and use it without waiting.
• Planning to buy souvenirs at the camp? A little friendly bargaining usually gets you a better price.
• If you like having drinks, ask the team if there are happy hour timings to save a bit.
• For a richer camel riding experience, choose the add-on 30 minutes ride.
• Wear light and comfortable clothes because the sand can get warm but the evenings cool off nicely.
• During winter months, carrying a light jacket helps because desert nights can feel colder than expected.
• If you get motion sickness easily, avoid eating too much before dune bashing.
• Make sure your phone is fully charged and keep a power bank handy since sunset moments and camp performances are very photo-worthy.
