[Nancy Ahuja]

Desert safari is one of the best activities that you must be involved in whenever you visit Dubai. If you ask anybody who has been there, you will be told that this is the most fun thing that you can ever do in desert. Best Morning Desert Safari provides an awesome experience. A wide majority of tour operators offer almost the same experience even though the prices vary. It’s only the skills of the drivers as well as campsite facilities that vary.

Anytime you want to enjoy desert safaris, here are the Best Morning Desert Safari tips:

1. Timing

The tour takes about six hours; it begins at around 3 pm with pick ups from hotels and ends at around 10 pm when the visitors are taken back to the hotels

2. Lunch

During this tour, it’s important to take light lunch before noon. You must take something that will not upset your stomach .its important not to eat excessively or even drink too much water; dune bashing is extremely bumping and can make people feel nauseous

3. What you need to carry along

It’s important to carry some cash as well as your credit card during this tour. You may need money when purchasing water and snacks at the comfort shop. You may also need some cash to pay for the photos and videos from the official photographer. You also need to carry a long a pair of hat, a camera or even a video camera if you wish so. Always do proper research and choose the best morning desert safari .

4. Clothing

It’s vital to wear loose and comfortable clothing. Unlike everywhere else in Dubai where you will be in company of other tourists, here, modest clothing is not mandatory. Straps and shorts are acceptable amongst women; men on the other hand can wear shorts. The temperature in the desert is lower as compared to the temperature in the city; if you must wear a cardigan, use a light one.

Because you will be getting outside the hotel, thongs and sandals are more preferable as compared to sneakers and socks. The sand here is so fine such that it gets everywhere inside the shoes. It’s unnecessary to come along with your own water because there is always a canteen where you can always buy some refreshments and snacks

5. The location of the desert

The desert location isn’t as remote as you may think. It takes roughly less than one hour to drive to the sand dunes from the city. You therefore have no reason not to get to the desert so that you can get the ultimate experience. The 4WD drivers who are found here are extremely skilled; they are always in perfect control and therefore you do not need to worry. They have great skills on sand dunes no matter how steep the drive can be

6. What to do at the campsite

When you get to the campsite, get a good place at the dance floor before partaking in other activities particularly if you have been accompanied by a large group. At the campsite, you will get some free time before the dinner gets served. There are quite a number of activities that you may not be able to complete because of limited time. The activities that you can participate in here include camel rides, henna tattoos, Arabic dates and coffees, drinking at the bar, smoking shisha, taking photos etc
