The UAE landscape consists of desert. Over time, it evolves into high-rises and develops into parks, gardens & housing societies. But it also has a wide desert in almost every emirate. In the UAE desert, a traditional activity known as a safari is performed, and it’s included on every traveller’s bucket list. Desert safari is done at many places, but Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah are the most famous. Today, I will guide you based on my experience on which safari is best for you during your UAE trip.
Dubai Desert Safari
Dubai desert safari is at no 1 and the most famous among travellers. It’s the most adventurous way for travellers to enjoy a real, traditional experience. If you want to go on safari, contact a reliable, trusted company for desert safari bookings. If you have your own car, choose the self-drive option, in which you must reach the location provided by the tour operator, where a 4×4 vehicle will pick you up and take you to the desert for a safari. It’s a cheaper desert safari option, with transfer services included. The prices for the desert safari started at 35 AED.
Abu Dhabi Desert Safari
It’s best for travellers who want a luxury experience. It gives more mental satisfaction than the Dubai desert safari. The Abu Dhabi safari is famous for its luxury camps and smooth camel rides. If you are an adventure seeker, this isn’t the best option for you. Abu Dhabi safari is more expensive than the Dubai desert safari. You should make your booking at least 12 hours in advance to avoid any problems. Its prices range from 200 to 1,500 AED, depending on the activities you want.
Sharjah Desert Safari
If you like nature, wildlife, and safari adventures, then Sharjah Safari is best for you. It’s less popular with travellers than Dubai & Abu Dhabi safaris. Sharjah desert safari tickets are also low in price compared to other desert safari tickets. It’s perfect for families with children.
Always check the tour operators’ reputation across different platforms and ask them where they will do the safari and in which area.
Ras al Khayima Desert Safari
Most people don’t know about it, but a desert safari is also operated there. It’s less famous and best for people who don’t like busy places. Its prices are reasonable and lower than those of other safaris. Many travellers most likely take the morning desert safari.
What you have to verify before the booking:
- Where do you want to go
- What are the final prices according to activities
- In which car will the transfer be done
- In which camp will you stay
- Exact pickup time
- Dune bashing time
By clarifying these things, you can make a booking and enjoy your adventure.
