If you are planning to visit Dubai, you should not forget to go for a desert safari. Dubai desert safari offers an exciting and amazing experience of sand and various other activities that you can come across. You don’t need to plan for a full day safari if your budget is the main objective of the tour, instead, you can simply opt for an evening desert safari that starts from 3:30 pm in the afternoon and ends at about 9:30 pm at the night. This is a short option where you can have the best time witnessing the beauty of sand and that too with less money. An evening desert safari in Dubai will surely be of great experience to undergo the extreme beauty of the vast sandy area in the dusk hours.
Things to experience during the evening desert safari
This safari departs in the afternoon across the desert of Dubai with several photo halts during a thrilling dune drive to the Camel farm, which is the first destination of the evening safari. The drive then continues across the desert and further stops so that you can watch the beautiful sunset before reaching the campsite. On reaching the campsite, you get the opportunity to do a camel ride, sand boarding, and other thrilling activities. You can even try out a henna design on your hand and feet.
Besides, if you simply want to relax and take a nap then you can use your tent and can lie down with your favorite beverage that is available at the well-stocked bar at the campsite. You can then have a 3-course lavish dinner including vegetarian dishes which are especially available for the people who are vegans. After the luxurious dinner, you can then enjoy a sparkling belly dance performance to round off the most exciting desert experience.
