In a typical morning safari, you might stop for a camel ride, try sand boarding and dune-bashing, take photos and spend some time spotting gazelles and Arabian oryx. Morning desert safaris are perfect if you are short on time. Most morning desert safaris start from 9 am and last 2 to 3 hours, allowing you extra time for other activities later in the afternoon. It is also a more quiet time to go as most safaris take place in the evenings.
