From September to May

Desert Safari's in Dubai are very popular only in the cooler months. Driving in the desert dunes and mountain roads can be rugged but at the same time thrilling so be prepared. Dubai Desert safari tours start and end with pick up and return to your hotel, they are either half day, full day or overnighters. Safari Tours in Dubai combine driving in the high sand dunes, visiting villages and camel farms on route and arriving at a Bedouin style desert camp just before sunset to enjoy sundowners, a sumptuous Arabic buffet/BBQ and relax with a shisha or join in the traditional entertainment. Try a camel ride and for the ladies have your hands or feet decorated by a henna artist.

Dune/diner safaris are usually 6 hours, returning at 10 pm, prices are AED 150 to 300. Overnight stays cost AED 400 to 500. There are separate desert excursions for sand boarding and dune buggy driving in the huge red dunes off the road to Hatta, prices from AED 100 for one hour.
Mountain tours are usually full day as they combine desert terrain with excursions into the mountains and wadis. Popular tours include trips to the Hajar Mountains via Ras Al Khaimah, Jebal Maleihah, a desert drive visiting the fossil rock on route and ending with a challenging ascent of the mountain. Drive to the top of the Jebal Hafit, the highest point in the UAE for stunning views and combine it with a tour to Al Ain, . The long drive over the mountains and through Wadi Bih to the East Coast will reward you with spectacular views of the UAE and Oman. Overnight stay at Dibba and take in a dhow trip to the Musandam, the most northerly point in Oman for deep sea fishing, dolphin watching or scuba diving.
