Best Time to Do a Dubai Desert Safari
The best time to enjoy a Dubai Desert Safari is between October and April, when the temperatures are cooler and more comfortable. Early morning and late afternoon safaris are particularly popular, offering cooler weather and breathtaking desert sunsets.
Avoid the peak summer months (June to September), as daytime temperatures often exceed 40°C (104°F), making outdoor activities less enjoyable.
What to Wear on a Desert Safari
Dress comfortably and appropriately for the desert climate:
– Light, breathable clothing (cotton or linen)
– Closed shoes or sandals suitable for sand
– A hat or cap, sunglasses, and sunscreen for sun protection
– A light jacket or shawl f you go in the evening or during winter months, as it can get chilly after sunset
Avoid heavy or dark clothes, and don’t forget your camera!
