 1. Pick the right place and time

There is no right time to pick for your desert safari. However, you must know that the experience you have will depend on the time of the day that you pick. For example, early morning desert safaris are one of the options if your idea is to get a good glimpse of the desert and enjoy the rays of the sun. The weather can be quite nice early morning and give you a cooling experience. Evening desert safaris are ideal if you want to capture the beauty of the setting sun and capture some excellent pictures. Finally, overnight desert safaris can be the best out of the lost if you want to take in the true magic of the desert. You can camp under the starry skies of the desert, and you can feel completely alone in the vast area of land. Overnight desert safaris also come with the added benefit of a beautiful sunrise.

 Some companies also offer half-day desert safaris where you try to capture the best of both worlds and have a memorable experience in a short time, at a good budget.

 2. Four-wheel drives

A big part of a desert safari is a four-wheel drive. All adventure seekers who visit Abu Dhabi Beach resorts, enjoy four-wheel drives at some point in their trip. This is a great way to experience the vastness of the desert while getting an exhilarating adrenaline rush. You can ask someone at the Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort to refer you to a good service provider who can help you with this activity. This can be done as the first activity of your desert safari. Once you are done with the excitement it brings, you can relax for the rest of the day under a safari tent having a great cup of tea or coffee. You will have the option of driving yourself or going with the guide. When choosing between the two, consider safety.

 3. Camel rides

Camel rides are another highlight activity that you can engage in during a desert safari. While camel rides are provided in many parts of the world, this is probably the most authentic one. You can get a camel ride for about 15 – 20 minutes and then go on to visit a camel farm. This can be a fun activity for kids to see the many camels that roam the farm fields.

 4. Other sports

There are also several other sports that you can enjoy while on a desert safari. These include sandboarding, dune bashing, and quad biking. Each of these takes advantage of the sandy landscape in the desert and allows you to navigate it in different ways. They are all activities for those who like some fun and adventure while on a safari.

5. Tips to remember

There are a few tips that will be useful when going on a desert safari. Wear light casual clothes and take enough sun protection. Your clothes are going to be covered in sand, so there is no point wearing anything fancy. Carry a light jacket for when the air gets a little harsh. Wear open shoes since that will allow you to easily dust off any sand you collect.
