When planning a trip to Dubai, one of the most common questions we get is: "Should I book a morning or evening desert safari?" While both offer incredible views of the Arabian desert, the experience—and the price tag—can be quite different.
The Price Difference
Generally speaking, Morning Safaris are about 30-40% cheaper than Evening Safaris. Why? Because they typically exclude the BBQ dinner and live entertainment.
- Morning Safari Avg Price: AED 80 - AED 120
- Evening Safari Avg Price: AED 110 - AED 250
What You Get in the Morning
Morning tours are perfect for adrenaline junkies. The sand is cooler, making it better for sandboarding and high-speed dune bashing. However, you miss out on the magical desert sunset and the traditional camp vibes.
The Verdict
If you are on a tight budget or have a flight to catch in the evening, the Morning Safari is unbeatable value. However, for the full "Dubai Experience," the extra cost for the Evening Safari is worth every penny.
