5 Reasons to Explore Desert Safari Dubai
1. Dubai’s desert is unlike anything you’ve seen before
Dubai’s desert is a blank canvas for your creativity. Photography enthusiasts use the glowing sunsets and undulating dunes to create stunning photographs. The sand will turn a deep red color when the sun’s heat hits it. It’s like being on Mars. Even more stunning to experience desert safari Dubai at night, when the clouds part to reveal a sky filled with stars.
Tip: Use your tripod to capture the night sky of Dubai in a long-exposure shot. You might catch a shooting-star!
2. Choose your own adventure
You’ll have a great time in the vast desert, with its many activities. Dune bashing is an adrenaline-pumping balance test where 4×4 cars race up and down steep sand hills. Sandboarding is the next activity, which tests your balance by sliding down a steep slope of sand. You can either tumble or roll and make a funny video. Quad biking is an optional extra activity.
Quad biking is for you if you like the chaos of dune-bashing. Get on a quad bike and race across the desert.
