You choose morning and afternoon desert safari packages that are affordable and equally entertaining. Don’t go for more expensive ones like evening and overnight safari tours. Morning tours usually include dune bashing, camel rides, and sandboarding, enough to fulfill your desire for adventure.
If you’re confident in your driving skills, you can rent a 4×4 vehicle and explore the desert dunes on your own for a fraction of the cost of a guided tour.
Consider exploring the desert on foot. Many areas, like the Al Qudra Desert, are quite suitable for hiking and provide beautiful scenery of the desert.
Instead of booking a luxury Bedouin-style camp with BBQ dinner, bring your camping gear and camp in designated areas in the desert for a more budget-friendly experience.
