Sunrise Desert Safari
Catch the desert at its most beautiful — first light, cool air and empty dunes.
Overview
The Sunrise Desert Safari is the connoisseur's choice. You'll leave your hotel before dawn and reach the dunes as the first light breaks — the coolest, quietest and most photogenic time to be in the desert. Dune bashing on empty sands, soft golden light and crisp air make this a favourite of photographers and early risers.
After the drive you'll enjoy breakfast in the dunes before returning to the city by mid-morning, leaving the rest of your day free. It's a serene, uncrowded alternative to the busy evening tours.
