Desert safaris are a popular tourist activity in Dubai, offering a variety of experiences that showcase the natural beauty of the Arabian desert. These excursions often include activities like dune bashing, sandboarding, camel riding, and traditional Bedouin-style dinners under the stars. There are different types of desert safaris available, including morning safaris, evening safaris, and overnight safaris. The Evening Desert Safari is particularly popular as it allows tourists to witness the stunning desert sunset while enjoying adventure activities.

Most desert safaris are organized by local tour operators who provide 4x4 vehicles for dune bashing, as well as equipment for sandboarding and quad biking. These safaris are often combined with cultural experiences, such as watching traditional performances like belly dancing and enjoying local cuisine.
