Top 9 Reasons to Book an Evening Desert Safari in Dubai 

An Evening Desert Safari in Dubai is one of the most amazing experiences you can have in the United Arab Emirates. As the sun sets over the beautiful golden sands, the desert becomes an enchanting land of mystery that is full of adrenalin, beauty and culture. An evening desert safari has a thrilling mix of excitement and relaxation - you’ll start off with smooth and thrilling dune bashing and then enjoy peace and serenity as you view the stars while listening to traditional Arabian music. Just about anyone visiting Dubai for the first time or even the fifth time can experience an evening desert safari that will have an authentic taste of hospitality and tradition. 

This experience can also be incredibly tempting because it is reasonable. There are many packages to pick from so the Evening Desert Safari in Dubai price is quite reasonable especially considering how many activities it contains, such as camel rides, sand boarding, henna painting and actual cultural performances. A lot of companies to offer pick up and drop of services no matter where you are in Dubai, and if you are visiting Dubai and wish to escape the towering skyscrapers to explore the nature then booking an evening desert safari should be at the top of your list of things to do.


Here are some of the top reasons to book an evening desert safari in Dubai. 

 

1. Witness the Stunning Sunset Over the Dunes 

One of the most beautiful sights you will see on an evening desert safari is the golden sun setting far above the sand dunes. As the golden sun going down, the desert begins to be painted with warm oranges, pinks, and purples. Not only is this sunset beautiful, but it is quite peaceful as well. You'll want to take some photo memories and soak in the natural beauty that is Dubai's desert.


2. Delight in the Adventure of Dune Bashing 

You can be an adventure-seeker, the experience of dune bashing is unrivalled. A professional driver puts you in a 4x4 vehicle and speeds you up and down the high dunes. While the vehicle moves very quickly across the undulating surface of the dunes, it feels like you are on a roller-coaster ride! Dune bashing is high-octane fun and a highlight of the whole safari, this safe adventure can be enjoyed by almost all ages.

 

3. Camel Riding and Desert Photo Opportunities 

An evening safari is a unique opportunity for you to ride a camel, the longest traditional form of transport in the region. You will experience the linking to the Bedouin traditions of the region. The camel rides are relatively short, but you will have plenty of awesome photo opportunities. Most tour operators will give you time for desert photography during the golden hour, when the lighting is best to capture amazing landscape shots, as well as personal photos. 


4. Traditional Arabic welcome and refreshments 

Upon your arrival at the desert camp you are welcomed with cordial Arabic hospitality. You will enjoy dates and Arabic coffee, and some refreshing drinks in a beautifully arranged Bedouin camp. The ambiance and environment is very welcoming and allows for an immersive experience. This little moment of leisure helps you unwind, stop for dinner, and recuperate from the inside-out or outside-in high energy of dune bashing. 


5. Extravagant Shows 

As the day turns into night, the desert camp will take on a different vibe. There will be lots of live entertainment, including traditional Middle Eastern belly dancers, Tanoura (spinning dance) and fire shows. These performances celebrate Middle Eastern culture and bring entertainment to guests of all ages. Seeing the performers in the night skies above enhances the experience of the desert experience.


6. Enjoy a Hearty BBQ Dinner 

A buffet dinner is included in the desert safari with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. This BBQ dinner is served in the open air under the stars and usually combines Middle Eastern foods, combination grill dishes, salads, rice and desserts. The combination of the open air, the cool breeze and live entertainment experience provides such a magnificent dining experience. 


7. Experience Henna Painting Shisha Smoking 

For a more laid-back and typically cultural experience, visitors for henna painting or shisha (hookah). Artists are able to create beautiful henna paintings on your hands and this draws in a large female clientele. Meanwhile, shisha lounges afford many flavour offerings and provide a more tranquil experience to reflect on your meal after a busy evening of entertainment.

  

8. Stargaze in the Desert's Silence 

After the lights went dim and the entertainment had subsided, I enjoyed a brief moment of stargazing. With the absence of city lights and the clarity of the desert sky, I was given an extraordinary view of the stars. Watching the night sky from a sand dune, while lying down was a truly magical experience for a person who does not see the stars in urban life. 


9. Convenient Pick Up and Drop-off Services  

Evening desert safari packages usually include hotel pick-up and drop-off service for a no-needs-to-worry, above the rest trip out for visitors. It is always a comfortable ride to ensure a smooth trip from your hotel to the desert and back. Convenience is a large part of the restfulness and enjoyment of your time spent, which helps to satisfy tourists whether you are with family, someone special, or by yourself. 


Conclusion 

To sum up, the Evening Desert Safari in Dubai is no mere tourist attraction, but a real experience of Arabian culture and desert beauty.
