Desert Safari Dubai in Summer: Is It Worth It? Expert Guide

Time to address the biggest question: Is Desert Safari Dubai in Summer worth it? Let’s think about it clearly, the temperature exceeds 40°C or even 50°C with humidity of 90% from the months of June to September. So there is a completely valid concern.

The short answer is yes, it is worth a visit, but only when planned right. We at Desert Xtreme Adventures have been planning the summer desert safari packages Dubai for years now. Thus, we’ve mastered the art of summer packages, with a clear understanding of things the visitors might prefer to make their stay not just bearable but memorable. The comprehensive guide provided here is a simple breakdown of why the summer desert safari in Dubai is worth it.

Dubai’s Summer Heat: The main issue

We understand that June, July, and August are the hottest months, with temperatures rising to 48 degrees Celsius with high humidity. Temperatures in June reach 38°C during the daytime, while the overnight temperature rarely drops to below 26°C.
From June to September, the average Dubai temperature is around 40°C, with the humidity level going above 90% in the summer. Thus, the heat in Dubai feels even worse.

But one thing that travelers tend to forget is that the desert temperature is much cooler than the city, especially in late afternoon and evenings. Once the sun begins to set, the safari ride becomes more bearable.

Is desert safari worth it in June in Dubai?

Yes, it is, with appropriate timing and package. If you are thinking of going on a desert safari in summer, then the right time will be the evening or night period with lower temperatures. The temperature is precisely the main reason why we recommend evening desert safari in summer over the morning packages. Below is the list of reasons why summer desert safaris are something worth experiencing:

Lower Package Pricing

The summer season is not the peak tourist season in Dubai; therefore, during this period, you will find:

• Excellent accommodation
• Budget-friendly flight deals, and
• Discounted desert safari packages

We have cheap desert safari Dubai summer offers with exceptional discounts of 30% to 40%.

Fewer Crowds

The summer season is off-season, signifying you can enjoy a less crowded desert experience. Visitors do not have to fight for the perfect photo spot or wait in long queues for activities.

Magnificent Summer Sunsets

Sunsets in summer are a sight to behold; golden hour light combined with the clear evening skies is a fantastic backdrop for photographs.

Unrestricted Access to All Activities

Contrary to popular belief, all desert activities remain available in the summer months when you book an evening desert safari.

Dubai Desert Safari with AC camp: Why is it essential?

There is a difference between a standard desert camp and Dubai desert safari with AC camp during the summer season.

Standard Desert Camp: It consists of basic shade structures with fans, but it remains uncomfortable when the temperature remains above 35°C, even in the evening.

AC Camps: These camps are fully enclosed, with climate-controlled spaces and powerful air conditioning, maintaining a 22-24°C temperature regardless of outside humid conditions.
Our AC Camps have:

• Split-system air conditioning units throughout
• Comfortable carpeted seating areas
• Proper ventilation systems
• Clean, air-conditioned washroom facilities
• Shaded outdoor areas for those who want fresh air

Therefore, this is the reason we say that the evening desert safari is better in summer seasons.

Tips for Summer Desert Safari

• Wear light, loose-fitting cotton clothing
• Bring sunglasses, sunscreen (SPF 50+), and a hat for outdoor activities
• Stay hydrated; drink water before, during, and after
• Avoid heavy meals before dune bashing
• Take breaks in the AC camp between outdoor activities
• Not recommended for pregnant women or those with serious heart conditions
• Children and elderly visitors should take extra precautions
• Always inform your guide if you feel unwell
