A trip to Dubai will probably remain incomplete if a desert safari tour is not included in the same. A desert safari offers a real adventure trip into the magnificent landscape of the unique sands of Dubai. The desert safari tour takes you right into the heart of the desert, the experience and the excitement of an exciting tour down the amazing high dunes is memorable, add to that a breathtaking view of the endless desert and an opportunity to watch the sun-set over this tranquil scenery. On a desert safari one can enjoy miles of sleek fiery orange hills, which will be only crumpled by the tracks of the predecessors. The idea of a desert safari is thrilling, albeit slightly dangerous. |

There are many tour operators for desert safari which offer a variety of services. There is the morning safari for people who have only short time available for them. In the morning safari the tourist are picked up in the morning at around nine and are taken straight to the desert where one can enjoy the dunes for 15-20 minutes, here one can also try Quad biking, camel riding and sand skiing. Water and soft drinks will be provided by the tour operator. The evening desert safari starts in the afternoon across the desert of Dubai with several photo-stops during an exciting dune drive to the first destination a camel farm. First the group stops to watch the beautiful sunset before reaching the campsite where one can go for a camel ride, sand boarding or even try out a henna design on hand or feet. A delicious barbecue dinner and shisha (the famous Arabic water pipe) is the next thing on the agenda. A performance by the belly dancer around the campfire by starlight is the last attraction before returning to Dubai. The most attractive desert safari is the overnight one which leaves to you enjoy a peaceful desert night with then comforts of a modern hotel. Generally all the vehicles going to the desert gather at one place and then go together to the desert. The drive is fun filled with all vehicle s going through sand dunes, climbing Dune Mountains and sometimes driving across dunes in a 45degree angle. Approximately a drive of one and a half hour you will be watching a spectacular sunset. After this the vehicles will proceed to the central campsite right in the middle of the desert. Barbeque dinner will be provided to the tourists and till the time while dinner is being prepared you can enjoy camel rides, dune bashing, henna designing etc. Belly dancers are the centre stage for these desert safaris and the atmosphere is light and convivial. There are camps with bathrooms for the overnight tourist. As the entertained winds down, you can sit back and marvel at the millions of stars in the clear desert sky. The day after, breakfast will be served at sunrise and the return journey begins after an exciting night. The choice of morning, evening or over-night desert safari will probably depend on the budget and the time available for the travelers but we would definitely recommend an over-night desert safari in the deserts of Dubai.
