Wake Up to Adventure
Morning Desert Safari
Experience the pristine beauty of the Arabian desert before the heat sets in. Our Morning Desert Safari is designed for thrill-seekers who want pure adrenaline—dune bashing, sandboarding, and quad biking—without the evening camp itinerary.
Why Choose a Morning Desert Safari?
The Morning Desert Safari offers a completely different vibe compared to the evening tours. For starters, the desert is virtually empty. This means you get untouched, virgin sand dunes for your photos, without footprints or other tire tracks spoiling the view.
It is also the perfect option for those with tight schedules. If you have a flight to catch in the evening or want to spend your afternoon shopping at Dubai Mall, the Morning Desert Safari fits perfectly into the first half of your day.
Photography enthusiasts often prefer the morning light. The sun is lower, casting long, dramatic shadows over the red Lahbab dunes, creating a high-contrast landscape that looks stunning in pictures.

Cooler Weather
Beat the peak afternoon heat.
Time Saving
Done by 12:00 PM. Free afternoon.
Adventure Focus
More driving, less sitting.

4x4 Dune Bashing
Strap in for 45 minutes of thrilling off-road driving. Our expert drivers navigate the steep red dunes of Lahbab, sliding and climbing for an adrenaline rush.
Camel Trekking
Experience the traditional mode of desert transport. We stop at a camel farm area for a short ride and photo opportunities with these gentle giants.
Sandboarding
Like snowboarding, but on sand! We provide the boards, you provide the balance. Glide down the soft slopes—it's fun for all ages and safe to fall.
Upgrade with Quad Biking
The Morning Desert Safari pairs perfectly with Quad Biking. Since the sand is cooler in the morning, riding an ATV across the open desert is much more comfortable. No license is required—we provide safety gear and a briefing.
- Powerful 350cc+ Quad Bikes
