What to expect on a night safari
After sunset the desert cools quickly and becomes wonderfully quiet. A night safari takes you out into the dunes after dark to enjoy the cool air, the silhouettes of the hills and, on clear nights, a sky full of stars.
Nights around the full moon are especially beautiful, while darker nights near the new moon are better for stargazing.
Pair it with a desert evening
A night safari fits naturally into a night camping stay: start with a sunset camel ride, enjoy the folk dance and fire show, then head out under the stars.
Routes, timings, prices and inclusions vary with the season and group size, so the team confirms them directly when you enquire.
Staying comfortable at night
Desert nights can surprise you, especially in winter:
- Carry a warm jacket, shawl or sweater from November to February
- Wear closed, comfortable shoes
- Keep a small torch or your phone’s light handy
- Stay with your group and follow the team’s guidance
