Why opt for Evening desert safari instead of the morning one?

Dubai has tremendous offerings for its visitors. However, the thrilling desert safari experiences take the cake when it comes to doing something that will forever remain etched in your memory. You head out from the city in a 4*4 vehicle and can also opt for dune bashing as part of your desert safari tour. The best time to explore the Arabian Desert is during the evening and for good reasons why.

When you opt for an evening desert safari, you start your journey at some time during the late afternoon and in no time you will find yourself traversing the endless golden-colored sand dunes in the Arabian Desert. You will get to witness the beauty of the setting sun and the onset of the night sky. This is not all! You will then head to the Bedouin camp for an evening full of cultural programmes and fun traditional activities. In addition to this, you will get to tantalize your senses by having amazingly tasty Arabian delicacies. Beautiful belly dancers set the temperature soaring at this camp with their mesmerizing performances. The day ends with you enjoying the beauty of the clear moonlit sky and windy breezes.

Read on to know why it is better to opt for an evening desert safari as against the morning one.

1. The aspect of temperature and time. Considering that it can get very hot while you set out for a morning desert safari, evenings offer the best time to enjoy the desert safari experience without having to worry about the heat. Furthermore, you can only witness the magic of setting sun in the evening as the heat starts to decrease and the cool breeze starts blowing. This is ideally the best time to enjoy activities such as sand boarding, quad biking, and more. Moreover, you have sufficient time in hand to have fun at the Bedouin camp, unlike the morning desert safari. The morning desert safari does not let you the magical offerings of the evening desert safari such as belly dance performances, henna application, barbeque dinner, and star gazing.  

2. Difference in activities. Evening desert safari typically begins with a dune bashing ride in a 4*4 vehicle (which can be a Hummer or a Land Cruiser if you do not mind spending extra). Being able to click stunning pictures with the morning sun setting in the background is an activity that can only be enjoyed in the evening. Moreover, as mentioned above, activities such as driving a dune buggy, belly dancing, quad biking, enjoying a sumptuous meal, and star gazing are some major attractions that you will miss out on if you opt to head out for a morning desert safari instead of an evening one.

3. Dining and leisure. Evening desert safari experience does not simply end with dune bashing, sand boarding, and quad biking. Rather, it is only the beginning of a promising night. When you finally reach the Bedouin camp, you will get to go for a camel ride and get your hands painted with beautiful henna designs.  A royal dinner that includes mouth-watering veg and nonveg cuisines is something you should definitely not miss. Apart from this, you can get tattoos made, smoke shisha, and enjoy dancing with the belly dancers who perform there.

Evening desert safari is definitely a more preferred option in comparison to the morning desert safari and the points mentioned above are the reasons why. You can ask a tour operator to customize a package for you, including all the activities that excite you.
