It was a hot summer afternoon when I first thought about booking a desert safari Dubai. Everyone told me it was too hot, too risky. But something inside me said, “Don’t miss the adventure just because of a little heat.”
Choosing the Right Time
The first smart decision I made was to pick an evening desert safari. I avoided the blazing afternoon sun and waited for the cooler hours. Around 4:00 PM, a comfortable air-conditioned Land Cruiser picked me up from my hotel.
I watched the tall skyscrapers fade into the endless golden sand as we drove away from the city.
By the time we reached the desert, the sun was lower, painting the sky with soft orange and pink shades. The breeze felt warmer than usual but somehow still welcoming.
Dressing for the Desert
Before heading out, I had dressed wisely — a loose, white cotton shirt, light trousers, a hat, sunglasses, and of course, sunscreen.
Trust me, wearing the right clothes made all the difference. I stayed cool and protected the entire time.
Hydration Is Your Best Friend
The company was kind enough to offer plenty of cold water bottles. I made it a rule: drink small sips often.
It kept my energy high, especially during the thrilling dune bashing ride.
The Land Cruiser jumped over huge red dunes, sliding and bouncing — it felt like riding a roller coaster in the heart of nature.
Finding Comfort in the Heat
One of the biggest blessings? The Land Cruiser had strong air conditioning. After every stop — whether it was for sandboarding, camel rides, or simply admiring the breathtaking views — stepping back into the cool car felt like stepping into a little oasis.
Later at the desert camp, private shaded tents with fans and air-cooled seating areas made resting easy.
In fact, many camps now offer premium air-conditioned lounges if you want extra comfort during the summer.
Activities That Make You Forget the Heat
Despite the summer season, the desert offered a full package of fun.
I sandboarded down soft hills, rode a camel while the sun dipped behind the dunes, and even tried quad biking — which felt wild and free!
While I enjoyed the food, live dancers performed under the stars — colorful, fiery, and full of energy.
Summer Deals That Sweeten the Trip
Another secret bonus? The price!
Summer meant fewer tourists and better deals. I got a VIP private desert safari package for almost half the winter price.
Luxury at a discount — who wouldn’t love that?

As I lay back on a cushion, looking up at the endless, star-filled desert sky, I realized something:
