Tour overview

Experience details.

The morning desert has a completely different character from the popular evening safari. The air is cooler, the dunes glow gold in the early light, and the silence of the desert before the day begins is something that stays with you long after you return to the city.

Your driver collects you from your hotel or home in Dubai or Sharjah at around 5:00 AM. The itinerary covers dune bashing over the Lahbab red sand dunes with a dedicated photo stop, a camel ride at the camp, and sand boarding. After the activities, settle in for a full Arabic breakfast with fresh juice, tea, coffee, and traditional Bedouin food.

The tour typically wraps up by 11:00 AM, making it ideal for those who want a full desert experience but prefer to keep their afternoon free. Buggy and quad bike rides are available on request at an additional cost.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions.

What time does pickup happen for the morning safari?

Pickup is typically around 5:00 AM depending on your location in Dubai or Sharjah. The exact time is confirmed the evening before to align with the sunrise.

Is breakfast included?

Yes. A full Arabic breakfast is served at the camp, including fresh juice, tea, coffee, dates, and traditional Bedouin food.

Is dune bashing included?

Yes. Dune bashing at the Lahbab red sand dunes is the main activity of the morning safari, with a photo stop included.

What is the difference between the morning and evening safari?

The morning safari runs early (5:00 AM to 11:00 AM) and focuses on the sunrise desert experience with breakfast. The evening safari runs in the afternoon and evening and includes the full entertainment programme — belly dance, Tanoura, fire shows, and BBQ dinner.

Are quad bikes available?

Yes, quad bike and buggy rides can be arranged at the time of your safari for an additional cost, and we offer a discount compared to standard rates. Please mention your interest at booking.

Is this suitable for families with young children?
