What You Can Expect From Dubai City Tour and Desert Safari
Spread out as far as the eyes can see and yet left mysteriously untouched, Dubai’s expansive deserts are a mesmerizing expanse of sand dunes, wadis, hard valleys, oases and craggy peaks. This beautiful landscape shines and glitters in the morning sun owing to the presence of tiny bits of mica in the sands. So imagine this – early morning, just as the sun rises, you’re poised to see one of the greatest spectaculars in history – the sun’s rays breaking over the dark sun dunes, setting all the mica stones a-glitter.
Whether you’re a nature lover or a thrill seeker, you’ll find something to enjoy in our morning desert safari. It’ll certainly be one of your memorable desert jaunts, as it offers you the perfect package of fun, adventure, romance and privacy.

Great experience overall! The dune bashing was thrilling and the desert was beautiful in the morning light. Only wish we had a bit more time for sandboarding, but everything else was perfect!
