Questions

Does the morning safari include breakfast or a show?

No. The morning trip is dune bashing, sandboarding and photos. If you want dinner and shows, book the evening safari.

Which morning option should I pick?

Take the standard morning safari for dunes and sandboarding. Add camel trekking for AED 30 more, or a quad bike session for AED 70 more.

Where does the morning safari go?

It goes to the Lahbab red dunes, south-east of the city. The sand there is a deep orange-red and the dunes are high.

Is the morning safari a good choice in summer?

Yes. From May to October the morning is the cooler part of the day, and you are back at your hotel before the midday heat.
