Introduction
While Dubai‘s summer heat can be intense, it doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the exhilarating experience of a desert safari. With the right preparation and tips, you can enjoy all the thrills of a desert safari while staying cool and comfortable. At AJ EPIC, we’re dedicated to ensuring your adventure is both enjoyable and safe. Here are some essential tips for staying cool during your summer desert safari.
1. Choose the Right Time for Your Safari
Timing is everything when it comes to desert safaris in the summer. Opt for morning or evening safaris when temperatures are lower. Morning safaris typically start around 7 AM, allowing you to enjoy cooler weather and a beautiful sunrise over the dunes. Evening safaris provide a magical sunset experience, creating a stunning backdrop for your adventure.
2. Dress Appropriately
Wearing the right clothing can significantly affect your comfort level in the heat. Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen that allow your skin to breathe. Light-colored clothing reflects sunlight and helps keep you cool. Don’t forget to wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun.
3. Stay Hydrated
Hydration is crucial when spending time in the desert heat. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your safari to avoid dehydration. AJ EPIC provides complimentary water during our safaris, so be sure to take advantage of it. You can also pack some electrolyte-replenishing drinks for extra hydration.
4. Utilize Sun Protection
Applying sunscreen with a high SPF is essential to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Reapply it every two hours, especially if you’re engaging in activities that may cause sweating. Don’t forget to protect your lips with lip balm that contains SPF as well.
5. Take Breaks in the Shade
During your safari, take advantage of the shaded areas during breaks. Whether you’re in a tented camp or enjoying refreshments under a canopy, resting in the shade will help you cool down and recharge for your next activity.
6. Engage in Water Activities
If you’re looking for an alternative to traditional desert activities, consider booking a desert safari that includes water activities. Some packages offer options like quad biking in the cooler evening temperatures or combining desert experiences with visits to nearby water parks.
7. Know Your Limits
Listen to your body and know when to take a break. If you start feeling fatigued or overheated, find a shaded spot to cool down and rehydrate. Our experienced guides at AJ EPIC are trained to recognize signs of heat exhaustion and will ensure your safety throughout the safari.
Conclusion
Summer desert safaris can be an unforgettable experience, even in the heat. With these tips and the right preparation, you can enjoy all the excitement the desert has to offer while staying cool and comfortable. At AJ EPIC, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests.
