Overview

What this experience feels like.

The Sunrise Desert Safari is designed for travellers who want to experience the desert before the day fully begins. With softer light, quieter surroundings, and a more peaceful pace, it offers a very different mood from a late-afternoon or evening outing.

After pickup, travel into the Abu Dhabi Desert for a sunrise view across the dunes, followed by 4x4 dune bashing, a camel farm visit, sandboarding, and camel riding. Scenic stops along the way keep the experience visually rewarding without making it feel rushed.

The morning concludes with traditional tea, coffee, Arabic coffee, water, and soft drinks before the return journey to the city.
