The moment I landed in Dubai, I knew I had to experience the famous desert safari Dubai for the first time. It was like golden dunes, adventure, and a mesmerizing sunset. I had seen so many pictures, and heard so many stories, but nothing could have prepared me for what was about to happen.

The Excitement Begins

The first action towards the booking of the desert safari in Dubai was taken. I wanted to select the right choice, and there were so many choices in front of me. I was in a dilemma about whether to take the morning or evening safari. A private experience or a shared ride? After brief research, I settled for the evening safari because the view of the sun setting over the dunes was something I could not afford to miss.

The black SUV pulled up to the hotel, and I said to myself, this is going to be one of the most thrilling moments that I will ever go through. The driver, who was experienced in the dune bashing business, greeted us and assured us that the ride was going to be exciting and safe. I fastened my seat belt, and my excitement could not allow me to wait any longer as we moved out of the city into the Arabian desert.

The Adrenaline Rush of Dune Bashing

I was not prepared for the experience of dune bashing, and this is how it feels. The high sand dunes were negotiated, and steep inclines and declines were made in the 4x4 car; it was an exciting experience. I could hear the other passengers scream and my laughter as well. It was very thrilling, and I got goose pimples all over my body; I had to salute the driver for the excellent way he was handling the car.

I want to inform you that if you are thinking of going for a desert safari in Dubai, then I will tell you that dune bashing is the best part of it. It is a must-do, though if you are a person who is always affected by motion sickness, then be prepared for it. The following are some of the measures that can be taken to avoid fainting during the ride: it is advisable to eat lightly and take a lot of water before the ride.

The Beauty of the Endless Dunes

When the car had slowed down, we were able to alight from the car and have a view of the desert. The sand was golden, and as far as one could look, it was sand; and with every gust of wind, the sand formed the most beautiful waves. When I was there, it was evening, and the sky had an orange and pink color, which I found quite beautiful.

This was my opportunity to do one of the most enjoyable things to do on a desert safari ,—to sit down and watch the beauty of the Arabian desert. I was feeling so small, but at the same time, I was feeling that I was alive; it was so big.

The Fun of Sandboarding and Camel Riding

It will be impossible for anyone to have a desert safari without sandboarding. I picked a board, swam to a dune, and the rest was done by the free fall. I tripped a few times, but it was not embarrassing at all; it was just fun to roll on the soft, golden sand.

A short camel ride was next. I got on the back of this friendly giant, and I felt like I was oneof the Bedouin people. It was a high-speed affair, but the complete opposite was the rocking of the camel as it moved on the sand. It was a moment of peace to enjoy how the travelers of the desert crossed this vast land.

A Magical Evening at the Desert Camp

We were then moved to a typical Bedouin tent with Arabian carpets and lamps as the sun set on the horizon. This was a true cultural experience.

One of the activities that are fun to do on desert safari is to take an Arabic dinner. Barbecue items, rice dishes with spices, fresh salads, and different Middle Eastern sweets were a treat to the tongue. I watched belly dancing, Tanoura dance, fire shows, and other performances as I enjoyed each bite.

A Night to Remember

I was lying on an Arabian cushion, taking warm karak tea, and watching the sky became darker and darker. There was nothing like the sky of the desert that night. It was a sky that was filled with stars—millions of stars twinkling in the night. That was the perfect ending to an adventure that I would never forget.

Final Thoughts

For the first time when you are going on desert safari Dubai, it will be better that you do not plan much and just enjoy the event. From dune bashing, camel rides, cultural shows, or even the stars in the sky, every moment is worthwhile.

So, book a desert safari in Dubai that will give you the feeling of a heart-pounding adventure or one that will give you the cultural experience at a slower pace. This is to say that the desert will always be memorable, regardless of the events that may take place.

If you have not had the chance to visit this Arabian marvel, I can tell you that there is nothing quite like it. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat!
