The desert safari tour is usually conducted during the night time.

While the sun glowing on the sand dunes is a beautiful sight, the desert during night time holds a mystery and intrigue like nothing else. In short, the desert is the most interesting during night time.
Instead of the regular desert safari that begins in the evening and ends at night, opt for an overnight desert safari. Here, after having a scrumptious barbecue dinner in desert, you can retire into Bedouin styled camp tents and spend a night in a sleeping bag under a stunning, starlit sky.
