Abu Dhabi has a desert climate, so when you go makes a real difference to comfort. Here is how to choose.
By season
Cooler months (roughly late October to April): pleasant daytime temperatures and clear evenings make this the best period for any safari, including quad bikes and buggies. Summer (May to September): midday heat is intense. Safaris still run, but pick an evening or overnight timing and drink plenty of water.
By time of day
- Evening safari: sunset in the dunes, camp dinner and shows. The best choice for most visitors.
- Overnight safari: add a night under the stars and a sunrise breakfast. See the overnight package.
- Private safari: you choose the pace and the timing with your own 4×4.
