Desert Safari in Dubai: Best Time

Roamigo Team April 26, 2026

I still remember December 15th, when I embarked on a desert safari in Dubai — the thrill of dune bashing, the serenity of the desert sunset. So, if you're planning a trip, you're probably wondering what's the best time to go. Look, the best season is from October to March, with comfortable temperatures ranging from 25 to 35 degrees Celsius.

Weather Conditions

The summer months can be scorching hot, with temperatures often reaching 45 degrees Celsius, making it difficult to enjoy outdoor activities. And, honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. But, from October to March, the weather is pleasant, with mild winters, making it ideal for a desert safari.

Prices and Packages

Prices for a desert safari in Dubai vary, depending on the package and the operator. You can expect to pay around AED 150-200 per person for a basic package, which includes dune bashing, camel riding, and a BBQ dinner. I opted for a premium package, which cost AED 350 per person, and it included additional activities like sandboarding and a visit to a camel farm.

Activities to Do

There are plenty of activities to do on a desert safari, including dune bashing, camel riding, and sandboarding. You can also visit a camel farm, watch a falcon show, or simply relax and enjoy the tranquility of the desert. After the safari, I headed to the Dubai Mall, where I caught a movie at the cinema, and then visited the Burj Al Arab for a luxurious dinner.

Practical Tips

So, if you're planning a desert safari in Dubai, make sure to book in advance, especially during peak season. Also, don't forget to wear comfortable clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen. You'll also need to bring a camera to capture the stunning views of the desert. For more thrilling experiences, consider visiting Ferrari World Abu Dhabi or watching a dolphin show at the Dubai Dolphinarium.

For a hassle-free experience, you can book your desert safari tour through Roamigo Trips, which offers a range of packages to suit your needs and budget. Honestly, it's the best way to ensure a memorable and enjoyable trip.
