What's the best time of year for sunrise desert safari?

Sunrise safari works year-round, but experiences differ by season:

Winter (November-March): Peak season. Mornings are cool and pleasant (15-25°C), sometimes even needing a light jacket at sunrise. Beautiful clear skies, comfortable for all activities. Sunrise is later (around 6:30-7:00 AM) so pickup isn't as early.

Spring/Fall (April-May, October): Excellent sweet spot. Warm but not hot (20-30°C), fewer tourists than peak winter, great conditions. Some of the most beautiful light for photography.

Summer (June-September): Here's where sunrise safari really shines. While afternoon temperatures soar to 40-45°C, mornings are actually manageable (30-35°C). If you're visiting Dubai in summer, sunrise safari is the smart way to experience the desert. You avoid the extreme heat entirely.

Honestly, because this is a morning tour, it works well even in summer when afternoon desert tours are pretty brutal. That's one of its biggest advantages.
