DRESS CODE FOR QATAR DESERT SAFARI:
There is no specific dress code for the safari. Anything comfortable will do. For the summer months wear something light and loose-fitting to stay cool. For winters, carry a jacket with you. The temperature in the desert falls sharply after sunset. Reserve your best clothes for other trips because after hours on the sand, you will find yourself dusting off your clothes. Another thing to take care is footwear. The sand gets everywhere inside your shoes if you are wearing a normal pair of low top sneakers. So it is better to wear high tops. Even toe-less sandals are better than sneakers. Don’t forget to bring your hats and shades and wear sunscreen. Also, remember that wearing outlandish and outrageous clothes can land you in trouble.
Quick Desert Safari Tips
- The dune bashing is a thrilling ride through the desert and can be a little bouncy often. It's advisable to have only a light meal before the trip, especially if you get affected easily by motion sickness.
- Beware of any unauthorized agents who promise you the same packages at lower prices to avoid landing up in a tour with poor service. They deliver way less than what they promise.
- There is no space for large luggage inside the vehicle. So pack light. Take only the things that are necessary.
- Try to avoid wearing too much jewelry or carrying valuable objects with you.
- Even if you don't like dune bashing, there are several other options that let you enjoy the safari with only short a dune bashing session.
- Don't fall prey to Illegal freelance agents who are not licensed to take you for the safari. They might compromise your safety by using uninsured vehicles and unqualified drivers.
- Only go for a QTA (QATAR Tourism AUTHORITY) approved tours company. Traveling with an authorized tour provider will ensure that your trip is free of risks. Always choose the best desert safari company in Qatar.
- The premium desert safari is the most convenient option. Even though there are other options which cost less, you won’t get the complete dune bashing experience which is the essential part of the trip. The price of an evening desert safari comes with a whole lot of comfort and great enjoyment. Finally, always follow the safety instructions of the guide.
