Itinerary
The Morning Desert Safari Tour offers an exhilarating adventure into the heart of the desert, perfect for those who want to experience the beauty of the Arabian landscape in the early hours of the day. The tour typically begins with a pick-up from your hotel and a short drive to the desert, where you can enjoy thrilling activities such as dune bashing in a 4x4 vehicle. Skilled drivers take you on an exciting ride over the rolling sand dunes, offering breathtaking views and plenty of photo opportunities. The tour often includes other activities like sandboarding, where you can glide down the dunes on a board, and camel riding, allowing you to experience the traditional mode of desert transportation. The serene desert atmosphere in the morning, with cooler temperatures and the soft light of the rising sun, creates a peaceful and refreshing experience. After the activities, head back to your hotel, typically ending the tour by mid-morning.
A Buggy Ride or ATV Ride is a popular outdoor adventure activity where participants drive dune buggies or ATVs across the desert terrain. These vehicles are built for off-road experiences, making it easier to navigate through the sand dunes and rough desert landscapes. During the ride, participants can enjoy the adrenaline rush of speeding through the dunes while experiencing the vast beauty of the Dubai desert. This includes safety gear, guided instructions, and stops for photos. It's an exciting way to explore the desert in Dubai while engaging in an adventurous off-road experience. Most rides allow for around 20-30 minutes of quad biking, where you can navigate the dunes at your own pace.
Sandboarding is an exciting desert activity where participants glide down sand dunes on a specially designed board, similar to snowboarding. Set against the backdrop of vast, rolling dunes, it’s a thrilling way to experience the desert’s natural beauty while enjoying an adrenaline rush. The activity usually starts with climbing to the top of a high sand dune. Once at the peak, participants strap their feet onto the sandboard and ride down the smooth, golden slopes. The speed and challenge vary depending on the steepness of the dunes, but sandboarding is suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. Sandboarding is a warm-weather adventure. Riders can stand, sit, or even lie down on the board, depending on their comfort level and how adventurous they feel. The desert safari tours include sandboarding as part of their activity list, offering a fun and memorable way to connect with the unique desert environment.
Camel riding is a classic desert safari activity that offers a traditional way to explore the dunes. Known as the "ships of the desert," camels have been used by nomads for centuries. Riding them gives an authentic glimpse of desert life. The ride begins with guides helping you onto the camel, which is often decorated with colorful blankets. As the camel moves, you experience a gentle, swaying motion, perfect for enjoying the peaceful desert scenery. The journey is usually short, offering plenty of time to take photos and soak in the surroundings. It's a calm and relaxing way to connect with the desert culture.
A typical Morning Dubai Desert Safari tour usually concludes between 12:00 PM and 12:30 PM, depending on the package you select. The most popular option, typically begins at around 8:00 AM and lasts about 4 hours. Some tours may finish slightly earlier or later, depending on the included activities, such as quad biking, camel riding, desert photography and camel ride. The return trip to your hotel takes around 40 minutes to 1 hour depending on the road traffic.

In general, the experience was good. But we were surprised by the rental charge for the dune buggy for a 30 minute ride. Both guides were courteous and helpful.

Our guide was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately I did not feel that the trip lived up to my expectations. Firstly many of the people running the site did not have masks this made me very uneasy. Secondly when you book the quad bike add on you should be told that this is simply going round a small circle track so not an experience at all. To actually go quad biking on the dunes costs more when you arrive. I did not feel that this experience was worth the money. We were meant to do a camel ride but unfortunately we had to say to our guide we will not do it as the queue to do this was probably an hours wait may be more and we felt that our guide wanted to get back. This could have been much better organised.

A great trip full of adventure and fun. This is shorter than the afternoon one according to our awesome guide, but this is the only time we got and we had so much fun!. Well organized and staff are well coordinated and professional. We were notified through whatsapp including all the information we need although our excellent and friendly guide was also very informative and he brief us regarding the tour himself. The dune bashing drive was excellent!
What a fantastic way to spend a morning in Dubai! We're so pleased to hear that the shorter morning safari packed in plenty of excitement and adventure. Dune bashing in the early hours has a completely different feel, and we're glad it became one of the highlights of your trip. It's also great to know that everything was well organized and that your guide kept you informed throughout the experience. Creating a smooth and enjoyable adventure from pickup to drop-off is exactly what we aim for.

Best time to enjoy the sand is in the morning. Enjoyed the camel ride and the sand boarding. Extreme fun riding the quad bikes and later on with the dune drive. A four hour tour but lots of thrill and nerve-wrecking fun. Recommended for those who have no time in the evening!
Not everyone has a full day available in Dubai, which is why the morning safari is such a popular option. We're delighted that you managed to enjoy camel riding, sandboarding, dune bashing, and quad biking all within a few exciting hours. The desert has a completely different atmosphere in the morning, and we're glad you got to experience it. Thank you for recommending our Morning Dubai Desert Safari with Sandboarding and Camel Ride. We appreciate your feedback and hope the memories stay with you for years to come. With regards, Dubai Desert Tours

Abbas our guide was fantastic. He pointed and explained things to us along the way to the desert. At various stops, he even provided drinks for my family. At the dunes, he was most accommodating to our children who got a little car sick. Last but not least, he was our photographer throughout the morning - he was very talented and knew just where we had to stand and how to pose. Our family had loads of great photographs all thanks to him!
