The Morning Desert Safari runs from around 9 am to 2 pm, giving you 4x4 dune bashing, a camel ride, and time in the sand dunes without the late evening return of Dubai's evening safaris. It suits travelers who would rather free up their evening for dinner or a show in the city.
Hotel pickup and the drive out
You are collected from your Dubai hotel or residence and driven about 45 minutes to the desert. It is a good stretch to settle in before the activities start, with the scenery shifting from the city's towers to open sand along the way. The desert here sits away from the busier stretches used by the evening safaris, so the dunes feel a little quieter during the morning session.
4x4 dune bashing
Once you reach the desert, the main event is dune bashing. A trained driver takes the 4x4 over the dunes, working through drops, climbs, and sharp turns while you stay buckled in with the vehicle's safety gear. It is the most physical part of the morning and the one most guests come for, and it sets the pace for the rest of the visit.
Camel ride and other desert activities
A camel ride across the sand is included once the dune bashing is done, giving you a slower, quieter way to take in the dunes after the drive. Sandboarding and quad biking are also available on site, so there is more than one way to spend the rest of the morning before the drive back to the city.
Rayna's own desert team runs the pickup, the drive, and the activities on site, so there is one point of contact if anything about your morning needs to change, from the pickup time to the activities you want to try.
Dubai's desert experiences do not end here. You can also look at the evening desert safari for cultural shows and dune bashing after dark, the overnight desert safari for a night under the stars, or the desert safari with quad bike for more time on the dunes.
