A desert safari in Dubai is an incredible trip that covers the elements of:
- adventure,
- luxury, and
- cultural tourism.
If you opt for such events/tours as VIP Desert Safari and breathtaking Desert Buggy Driving Experience, it is important to choose the appropriate day of the trip. The right day for the safari will let you enjoy traveling through the immense Arabian desert to the best. But with Dubai being a popular tourist destination, finding which day is the best time to go to the desert with not many people around could be difficult. But its not impossible to find a day where everything is in place. Let’s find out.
Weekdays vs. Weekends: The Real Plan for the Superb Desert Safari
Dubai also uses the usual Gulf weekend, consisting of Friday and Saturday. This is why the week begins on a Sunday and brings an end on Thursday. The same goes for the weather change which varies from day to day and so does the crowding on the desert safari!
Best Day for a Desert Safari: Wednesday
For those who do not fancy crowded places and at the same time those who want to confirm that all the activity is running – they can book a Wednesday for a perfect desert safari in Dubai.
Here’s why Wednesday strikes the perfect balance:
- Moderate Crowds: Most of the persons visiting deserts or national parks for weekend trips have already done their circuit by the middle of the week and more persons are yet to arrive. This makes it easy & convenient to have some:
- quality time,
- chat with friends or family, and
- take quality photos,
without the usual frenzied feeling, one gets when crowded during weekends. The crowds are perfect on Wednesday. There are enough people to ensure that safari camps are not boring, yet not too many at the same time.
- Fully Operational Activities: You can catch all other types of desert safaris such as the VIP Desert Safari and the Desert Buggy Driving Experience in the middle of the week. Sundays and Mondays have a higher number of participants or tourists, but Wednesdays are good if you want to try all the activities and in no hurry.
- More Personalized Experience: The Safari that takes place on Wednesday is usually less crowded. This is a good thing for a first-timer and if you are seeking to get a private experience then there is the VIP Desert Safari. With fewer visitors there, the guides and staff are more available to cater to your needs which ultimately enhances your overall experience. You can also enjoy longer sessions on Desert Buggy Driving, & race across the dunes with less pressure that happens due to long waiting turns of too many people on other days.
Why Skip Fridays and Saturdays?
Fridays and Saturdays are lively with many tourists, making the day very busy and hectic. Here’s why it’s a smart idea to skip these days for your desert trip:
- Crowds: Fridays are the busiest because it’s the local weekend in Dubai. Many tourists in the desert also make it hard to enjoy camel rides, sandboarding, or quad biking as you might have to wait in long lines for your turn if you haven’t taken the VIP Desert Safari or any other private safari tour.
- Less Personal Care: With so many people around, the special touch of the safari is often lost. Even with a VIP Desert Safari, the trip might not feel as personal as it does during mid-week. And a standard tour might seem hurried on the weekends.
Saturdays are busy too, as people visit Dubai for adventure before their weekend ends. Activities are still available, but the vibe can feel rushed.
The Best Activities for a Wednesday Desert Safari
With less crowd and plenty of opportunities, you’ll have ample time to enjoy the best activities that Dubai’s desert safaris provide. Here are some top experiences you can consider:
- VIP Desert Safari
Choosing a VIP Desert Safari transforms your desert experience into a luxurious one filled with comfort & everything that might be needed on a safari & desert. You’ll enjoy:
- exclusive seating,
- air-conditioned tents, and
- gourmet dining options, along with
- priority access to all the desert activities.
On a Wednesday, the smaller crowd does allow you to truly savor the VIP treatment without the hustle and bustle of too many people to take the attention away.
- Desert Buggy Driving Experience
One of the most exciting parts of a desert safari is the Desert Buggy Driving Experience. With fewer participants around you, you can navigate the open desert without the stress of traffic or competing for buggy slots. The midweek calm also lets you fully enjoy the power of your desert buggy as you race over the sand dunes at your own speed. The breathtaking golden desert serves as the perfect backdrop for your thrilling adventure photos.
- Camel Rides and Falconry
With fewer tourists during the mid-week, you can take your time enjoying a peaceful camel ride through the desert. You can soak in the stunning landscape at a leisurely pace. You can also join falconry sessions, where you can interact with these magnificent birds of prey.
- Traditional Arabian Entertainment
Experience captivating performances like:
- belly dancing and
- Tanoura shows
in a more relaxed setting on Wednesday evenings. You’ll have a better view of the stage with few people and more chances to immerse yourself in the cultural elements of the desert safari!
