Discover The Desert of Dubai before the Day Begins

For anyone looking to skip the midday heat and the crowds, our Morning Desert Safari Dubai is the absolute best way to see the dunes. We do things a bit differently here and this isn’t a packed tour bus. You will have a private 4×4 vehicle completely to yourself from the moment we pick you up until we drop you back off at your hotel.

Your morning kicks off with a comfortable ride straight from your hotel into the heart of the Arabian Desert. Once there, you’re in for a thrilling dune-bashing session across the sweeping sands. After the adrenaline rush, you can slow down to take in the quiet morning views, snap some incredible photos, try your hand at sandboarding, or enjoy a classic camel ride.

Because this tour skips the standard evening camp and dinner, you get to focus entirely on the beauty of the desert itself. Plus, you’ll be back in the city with the whole afternoon ahead of you, leaving plenty of time for shopping, sightseeing, or just relaxing by the pool.

Perfect for families, couples, or a close group of friends, this private morning desert safari in Dubai strikes just the right balance between comfort and total flexibility. With room for up to six guests in each vehicle, your small group can take in the desert entirely on your own terms.

Women are best off wearing comfy, modest clothing. Think T-shirts, leggings, trousers, or shorts.

Go with sandals or sports shoes for the desert—closed-toe shoes just end up filling with sand anyway.

Even in the peak of summer, the desert drops to a comfortable temperature by evening, so you can fully enjoy the tour.

Pack a light jacket! The desert cools down quite a bit once the sun goes down.

Absolutely, kids are more than welcome on the safari! We also have baby and booster seats available. Just let us know when you book so we can have one ready for you.

Absolutely, seniors can request a gentler ride over the dunes or choose a safari package that skips the dune bashing entirely.

Wheelchair users are welcome on our private safaris. Our camp staff will be more than happy to help you out when you arrive.
