Desert Safari in Summer: What to Expect

Yes, you can do a desert safari in summer, and camps are quieter. Afternoons reach 40-45°C, so the morning safari or an evening trip that starts closer to sunset is more comfortable.

What an absolutely amazing experience! Definitely one of the best things I have done in Dubai, and such a memorable day from beginning to end. Everything was beautifully organised, and the whole experience was filled with wonderful moments, excitement, and genuine hospitality. What made it even more special was our guide, Abdullah, who was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly kind, friendly, professional, and genuinely caring throughout the entire experience. He made sure we were comfortable, looked after us so well, and was always happy to help with anything we needed. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely remember this day for a long time. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough to anyone visiting Dubai! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a wonderful desert safari experience! Our driver and guide, Abdullah, was very polite, professional, and friendly throughout the trip. He made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed every moment. The quad biking and dune bashing were especially exciting and so much fun! We also enjoyed the buffet dinner and evening entertainment shows, which were a great way to end the day. Everything was well organized, and the whole experience was truly memorable. Special thanks to Abdullah for his excellent service and hospitality. Highly recommended!

Emdad 씨와 투어했습니다! 호텔까지 픽업와주셔서 편했고, 바로 사막으로 이동했습니다! 중간에 스카프 살 수있는 곳에 데려다주셔서 따로 스카프는 구매하지 않으셔도 될것같아요! 듄 배싱을 아주 스릴있게 잘해주셨고 사진도 열심히 남겨주셨습니다 😄 쿼드바이크는 30분(150AED) 타는데 재밌었습니다! 친절하신 가이드님 덕분에 즐겁게 투어했습니다 !

Yes, you can do a desert safari in summer, and prices are calmer and camps quieter. Afternoons reach 40-45°C, so the morning safari or an evening trip that starts closer to sunset is more comfortable. Evenings at camp are warm but pleasant after dark.

Tips for summer

  • Choose the morning safari (back before noon) or the evening trip
  • Drink plenty of water, which is unlimited on all our trips
  • Wear a hat, sunglasses and SPF 50
  • Air-conditioned Land Cruisers and shaded camp areas

  • June-July: ~7:10 PM
