What to Carry
- Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, your phone or camera and personal essentials. Keep valuables to a minimum.
Best Time to Go for a Desert Safari
The best time for a desert safari in Dubai is generally October to March, when temperatures are more comfortable for outdoor activities. Travel Saga also recommends this period for activities such as dune bashing, quad biking and camel riding.
October to March: Best Overall Season
The cooler months offer more comfortable conditions for spending several hours outdoors. Evening temperatures also become more pleasant, making this period particularly suitable for sunset safaris, desert camps and overnight experiences.
This is the busiest travel period in Dubai, so popular safari packages can sell out during peak dates. Booking in advance is a sensible choice, especially for premium and overnight experiences.
April to May: Warmer but Still Suitable
Temperatures begin to rise during spring, but you can still enjoy a desert safari by choosing timings carefully. Evening safaris are generally more comfortable than midday desert activities.
June to September: Hotter Months
Summer brings considerably higher temperatures to Dubai. A safari is still possible, but the heat can affect how comfortable you feel during outdoor activities. Morning and evening departures are preferable to the hottest part of the day.
For travellers visiting during summer, check the exact pickup and activity schedule before booking and follow the operator’s advice regarding outdoor activities.
Morning or Evening: Which Is Better?
Choose a morning desert safari when you prefer cooler early-day conditions, sunrise views and a shorter experience. Travel Saga’s morning safari includes hotel pickup, dune bashing and a desert photography stop, with optional camel riding and quad biking available at an additional charge.
Choose an evening desert safari when you want to experience the desert around sunset and continue to a camp for dinner and entertainment. Travel Saga’s sample evening itinerary includes pickup, 30–45 minutes of dune bashing, a sunset photo stop, camel riding, henna, buffet dinner and live shows before returning to Dubai.
For an extended experience, choose an overnight desert safari. Travel Saga’s overnight option combines evening activities and dinner with stargazing, an overnight stay, sunrise activities and breakfast before the return journey.

Q. How much is a desert safari in Dubai per person?
Travel Saga’s shared desert safari Dubai packages start from AED 249 per person. Red Dune Safari starts from AED 275, while Premium Safari starts from AED 350 per person. Morning Safari is different because AED 700 covers a private vehicle for up to 6 people, rather than a per-person price.

Families who prefer a private vehicle can also consider the Morning Desert Safari, which accommodates up to 6 people in one private vehicle.
Q. What is the difference between a shared and private desert safari?
A shared desert safari means you book on a per-person basis and share the safari vehicle and selected camp arrangements with other travellers.

Q. Can I book a desert safari for a large group?

Booking in advance is recommended during Dubai’s busy travel season, particularly for premium, private and overnight experiences. Travel Saga recommends booking 12–24 hours before the tour, subject to availability. Popular dates may require earlier booking.
