Private Tour

Sunrise Safari

Overview

4 hours

Mobile ticket

Sunrise in the dunes is something that everyone finds amazing. It is a time when the wildlife are free to roam their homeland without any visitors. We share the stillness and peace with only the rising sun and some wild creatures. This experience comes highly recommended.

What makes it unique is how you are transported into the middle of nowhere and feel like it's just for you. Truly magical.

Prashant was an excellent driver and we had a lot of fun watching the sunrise. If you prefer a quieter experience and less crowd, the sunrise safari is a good choice
Would book with DI again

My husband and I booked a private sunrise safari with Destination Insight so we could pursue the activities that most interested us. Ali picked us up at our hotel at 5AM and we drove out to the desert. The vehicle was new, clean, and very comfortable...yet perfect for dune bashing! We had a blast going dune bashing, watching the sunrise (his timing was impeccable), sandboarding, and enjoying a wonderful breakfast before doing a half hour dune buggy outing. We were back at our hotel in time for lunch. Ali could not have been more informative and personable. Big recommendation for Destination Insight!

Wonderful desert experience. Highly recommend the sunrise tour, it felt like we had the entire desert to ourselves. Biju was an excellent guide! This company offers a range of activities but we wanted something minimally "touristy" and got exactly what we asked for 😁

I went with my 9 year old son today. We had an amazing experience that we will never forget. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. My son loved the dune driving experience, we tried sand boarding, saw camels and have some amazing pictures. Definitely recommend this experience and my sister who lives her is going to do it this weekend.
A magical experience

One of the best experiences of my life. It was such an amazing adventure with the best service by our guide Mohamad. It was my first time gamping and I enjoyed every second of it. They took care of everything and all we had to do was have fun.
Spectacular

We have done the 4x4 through the desert (which is a pretty barbarity) with Ali as guide and driver. Funny experience between the dunes, we have been able to sandboard and see an incredible sunset. 100% recommended
Amazing trip!

Myself and 5 friends did the sunrise camel trek and had a brilliant time. We were picked up on time and taken in a comfortable car directly to the desert. We trekked for around 1 hour, with loads of photo opportunities. Then we were taken for sandboarding which was great fun and then dune bashing! It was a great value for money trip and well organised by Mary - who is always quick at responding to any questions. Definitely would book it again.
