desert safari in Dubai<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll want to make sure to choose the right clothes for a Dubai desert safari, layers of comfortable, breathable clothing that you can add or remove depending on the temperature because whilst the desert is hot in the day, it can drop to freezing once the sun\u2019s set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women are advised to wear modest clothing that covers their knees and shoulders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideal attire would be trousers made of a breathable fabric, a t-shirt and a lightweight shirt or jacket with a scarf for extra layers if needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dubai desert safari location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s approximately 55km from the center of Dubai to the desert so it takes around 35 minutes to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the best time to do a desert safari in Dubai<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best season is November to March, as the weather is much cooler than summertime and more bearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you go on a desert safari in the summer? You can but of them most run in the late afternoon and evening to avoid the overwhelming morning heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More information for your trip to Dubai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#2b8f2b\">\ud83d\udce2 In my <a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/travel-resources\/\"><strong>Travel Resources Page<\/strong><\/a> you can find the list of all the sites and services I use to book hotels, tours, travel insurance and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/en\/vpn-dubai-uae\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"18773\">Access blocked sites in Dubai <\/a>\u2013<\/strong> Remember that, if you want to use Skype, Whatsapp Call or Tinder you will need a VPN.
