Anyone who has ever visited the region would know that if there's one adventure they shouldn't miss — it would be a desert safari.
This thrilling ride allows you to soak in the grandeur of undulating sun dunes, which are painted gold come sunset.
This desert adventure, however, is popularly done during the winter period, when the cool breeze would be sweeping across your face and the chilly night out there would mean a bonfire can be enjoyed.
Desert safari in summer? Some would instantly drop the idea because they could think of only the scorching heat getting in the way of all the fun.
What many do not know is that tour experts have long found a way to make the ride just as fun amidst summer weather.
Certain adjustments are made. For example, the trip is scheduled early in the morning or late in the evening. Plus, the tour would actually be different as a delayed sunset gives extra room for more activities. We spoke to a couple of experts to understand some reasons why summer is still a good time to hit the sand:
Sunset and sunrise are a visual treat, and during the summer, they paint the skies with even brighter hues.
Safaris are particularly done during early mornings or late evenings to beat the heat, allowing adventurers to witness the magical moments the sun creates. This unique time is hard to replicate during other seasons.
As temperatures rise, the adventure quotient does, too. Experts say that it is not that hot in the evenings and mornings, however, the persistent heat could bring in the challenge and excitement for enthusiasts.
Dune-bashing in powerful off-road vehicles adds an extra element of thrill and intensity to the activities in the heat.
Experts say that summer nights in the desert are a dream for stargazers and those observing heavenly bodies. Away from the city lights, the sky becomes a live image of stars and planets. No experience can come close to it for stargazers because of the unobstructed view of constellations. Summer in the desert makes it an ideal time for nature lovers to immerse themselves in the wonders of the universe.
Experts say that summer months provide an excellent opportunity to explore and immerse oneself in the rich cultural heritage of the desert regions.
Visitors can witness and shop traditional Bedouin products, treat their taste buds with Arabian cuisine, and experience the warmth and hospitality of local communities. The summer also entertains the visitors with traditional music and dance performances.
While summer may not be the peak tourist season for desert safaris, it presents a unique advantage for those seeking a more exclusive experience. With fewer crowds, guests can enjoy the vast expanse of the landscape. Many tour operators offer attractive discounts and packages during this time, making it an economical choice for adventure seekers.
The starting price for desert safari in the summer months is Dh90 per head, which increases to Dh150 for the same activities during the winter months.
