What to Expect on a Morning Desert Safari
Adrenaline rush is what awaits you during the morning desert safari in Dubai. But before you step into the world of thrills, you can enjoy the early morning view of the desert and possibly the sunrise too.
You can enjoy all the desert adventure activities to the fullest during your morning exploration of the desert. Dune bashing is the first activity on the itinerary. Last 45 minutes, the dune bashing session happens on a 4x4 vehicle. Driven by a professional, the dune bashing ride feels like a rollercoaster ride, as the driver navigates through the rough terrain of the desert.
The morning desert is not just about dune bashing. As it is a morning safari with camel riding, you get to climb on the ship of the desert and enjoy a walk in the desert dunes. If you are lucky, you will be able to see the desert animals, who are usually out and about early in the morning.
Sandboarding is also included in the morning desert safari activity. Sandboarding is much like snowboarding, although here you slide on the sand dunes. You will get a sandboard and some instructions from your desert safari guide. You can spend some time trying to balance yourself on a sandboard until you learn the ropes of the same.
If you want, you can get to ride a quad bike at an additional cost. The quad bike is an ATV or All-Terrain-Vehicle that you can use to drive on the desert dunes. Riding a quad bike is quite adventurous and challenging but totally worth it. The staff at the desert camp can also arrange a dune buggy ride for you, although you will have to book it in advance.
A Morning Desert Safari Journey
Here’s a step-by-step guide to understand your morning desert safari journey, right from pickup to drop-off.
The morning desert safari journey begins with a pickup from the hotel or residence in Dubai. A driver would be waiting for you outside your hotel/residence to take you to the desert camp. The drive to the desert from the city center would take around 45 minutes.
The first experience of any morning desert safari is the dune bashing session. A 4x4 vehicle with deflated tires will be waiting for your awe-inspiring ride in the desert. The vehicle is equipped with all kinds of gear to keep you safe during the ride. Moreover, dune bashing is only done by professional drivers who have the necessary skills and licenses. Make sure you secure yourself properly before the dune bashing session begins.
Take a break from your dune bashing session and step out of the vehicle to enjoy the view of the desert. The early morning sun in the desert is mild, making it possible to spend time outdoors. It is also a great opportunity to take some amazing photographs of the desert.
After the dune bashing session, you will be driven to the desert camp. After replenishing yourself with water, you will get to try other desert adventures. Camel riding is one of the most popular activities here. After riding a camel around the desert camp, you can try sandboarding. Sandboards would be provided to you at the desert camp. If you have chosen a morning safari with quad biking , you will also get the chance to enjoy a quad bike ride.
Visit our authentic desert camp where you can enjoy traditional Arabic breakfast with coffee and dates. Ladies can get beautiful henna designs and everyone can take photos in traditional outfits.

We had planned for morning desert safari with quad biking for family. It was a brilliant experience
and the entire activity from confirmation, pick up, activites and dropped were completely professional
and family friendly.
Would definitely recommend Rayana tours for their Dubai trip. It was flawless.

Did the morning desert safari. The trip was organised by Simar Preet at our hotel travel desk. She is very professional, friendly and courteous. Would also like to mention our tour guide Mr Rizwan who was very efficient with the sand bashing drive. Looking forward to planning many more Dubai tours with Rayna. Thanks for making our experience very memorable.
