Dubai is famous for many things. For instance, it is home to stunning man-made archipelagos (Palm Islands and The World) and the world’s only 7-star hotel, The Burj Al Arab. But aside from those structures, this UAE emirate is also home to a one-of-a-kind adventure that people call “desert safari”. Visitors are taken on a 20 or 30-minute driving tour of the Dubai desert. So if you happen to be in Dubai, this is one experience you must never forget to have.

Top Tips to Make the Most Out of Your Desert Safari Experience

It can be awfully hot in the desert, but once you see the dunes, you’ll be filled with nothing but excitement. Here are some tips to make the most out of your desert safari experience.

1. Protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun

Never, ever leave your hotel room without sunblock. Though you’ll be in an air-conditioned car for most of desert safari tour, it’s still possible to get ugly sunburns. Besides, you can’t resist to go out of the car and take a picture of the sand dunes.

But aside from sunblock, make sure that you have your shades on. And if it’s not too much of a hassle, get something to cover your face for added protection against dust and sand.

2. Bring a camera with you

If you think that sand dunes are hot, barren places, wait until you get to the desert. The view will take your breath away, and you can’t resist to pause and take a picture. So make sure that your camera is fully charged and that you have extra batteries.

3. Share the experience with your loved ones

Every happy memory is best shared with someone you hold dear to your heart. It can be a partner, your family, or a friend. There is something about the Dubai desert that brings you and your loved ones closer.

4. Take something to drink

Because of the high temperature in the desert, it’s easy to go thirsty. Even if the trip lasts only 20 minutes, it’s wise to have something to drink with you. Water is the best, but you can take other drinks and beverages.

5. Go on a desert safari trip in time for sunset

The sunset in the Dubai desert is just as breathtaking as the sand dunes. So plan your trip and make sure that you arrive in the desert around sunset. If you want, you can take a camel trek. That way, the experience will be much more memorable.
