Welcome to the enchanting desert life of Dubai

Dubai has transformed immensely from being an oil-driven economy into a tourist mecca capital of the world. Strategically being located in the center of the world, tourists and visitors often stop over for breaking up their journey into two halves. Many travelers like to explore the best of Dubai but are unable to do so considering they have probably very less time on their hands. If you are in Dubai for 8-10 hours, then move beyond the opulent glamorous shopping malls, awe-inspiring architecture, tall skyscrapers, and head to the world of wanderlust, where you get to experience the real face of Dubai.

1.Types of Safari tours and transfers : 

Experience the fun and adventure elements to the core with the luxury of a 4×4 rough terrain air-conditioned vehicle. You can also choose the vehicle that suits and authenticates your style. If you opt for transfers, you will be provided pick-up and drop back at your hotel or place of convenience. Depending on the time you want to undertake the journey and the inclusions, there are four types of safari tours offered:

• Morning Safari
• Afternoon Safari
• Evening Safari
• Overnight Safari
• Dhow Cruise-Desert Safari Combo

We would recommend you to wear light and comfortable clothing along with flippers and sandals. It becomes a bit harsh maneuvering through the desert with boots and shoes. Also, eat something light as the journey can cause nausea or vomiting. It can become terrible for the first-time or at times for experienced travelers as well. For some tourists and guests, the heat can be intolerable. Avoid the morning and afternoon safari in these cases. For the best experience of the desert life, we recommend you to try the evening or the overnight safari.

2.The eventful journey begins :

Your journey starts up and down through the golden dunes. Do look out for the mesmerizing silken trails left by the vehicles as they maneuver through the desert terrain. The ride gets its first pause at the Dubai Desert Conversation Reserve, where you get ample opportunities to browse through the wildlife scene here. The desert environment is not as empty as we imagine, the wildlife scenario in the desert is unique and enjoyable to explore. Look out for the oryx, gazelle, geckos, lizards, and several birds. Many animals venture out in the desert during evenings when the sun has probably cooled down. A part of your Desert Safari tour package fees goes towards wildlife conversation in the desert. So, don’t get pumped up seeing the prices being offered.
