What to Wear to a Desert Safari? (2025 Guide)

Choosing the right outfit for the desert can be tricky. You want to look good for photos, but you also need to be practical for the heat and activities.

Can I Wear Shorts?

Yes, absolutely. Unlike visiting mosques, desert safaris are quite relaxed regarding dress codes. Shorts, t-shirts, and dresses are all acceptable. However, keep in mind that evenings in the desert (especially Nov-Feb) can get chilly.

Footwear Matters

Leave the expensive heels at the hotel! Sand gets everywhere. We recommend:

  • Sandals/Flip-flops: Easy to take off when you want to walk barefoot on the dunes.
  • Sneakers: Best if you plan on doing Quad Biking or Sandboarding.
