A visit to Dubai isn’t complete until you go on a desert safari. I’ll never forget my first desert safari: it was totally amazing! There were camels, decent food, shisha, and dune smashing, of course! Since I adore desert safaris, I’ve compiled a collection of the best desert safaris in Dubai.
One thing I can confidently state is that booking your desert safari online would make a significant difference. Sure, your hotel’s concierge service or a travel agency they partner with would be able to book the desert safari for you – but the few occasions I inquired (I was wondering how much it will cost!) the rates they quoted were a rip off! One of them pushed a flyer under my nose for a $90 desert safari – despite the fact that we had gone on The Very Same One for $40 just a month before. I would suggest booking your desert safari online because it will save you a significant amount of money!
