Detailed itinerary

The tour usually begins with a pickup from your hotel or a designated meeting point in Dubai. The mode of transportation is typically a comfortable Land Cruiser or similar 4x4 vehicle.

The highlight of the morning desert safari is the 4x4 dune drive. You'll venture into the Dubai desert and experience an adrenaline-pumping ride over the sand dunes. Skilled drivers will navigate the vehicle over the dunes, providing you with an exhilarating and sometimes bumpy ride. It's a unique and exciting way to explore the desert's natural beauty.

I will also make sure to stop in the middle of the desert for photo opportunities and a fun sandboarding experience.

After the dune drive, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a more tranquil experience with a camel ride. Camels are known as the "ships of the desert," and this ride allows you to appreciate the slow and steady pace of these remarkable animals. It's also a great chance for photos against the backdrop of the desert dunes.

Water is essential, especially in the desert where temperatures can get quite high. Most tours provide bottled water to keep you hydrated throughout the experience.

Once the morning desert safari adventure is complete, you'll be dropped off either back at your Dubai hotel or a designated mall, depending on your preference and the tour package.
