Early Morning Desert Safari: 7 Rare Wildlife Species You’ll Be Buzzing About
1. Arabian Oryx – The Desert’s Shining Survivor
Once nearly extinct, the Arabian Oryx is now a protected species and a proud symbol of the UAE. With its elegant horns and snow-white coat, you might spot it wandering near conservation zones during the cool early hours of your Early Morning Desert Safari.
2. Sand Gazelles – The Gentle Runners of the Dunes
Often seen skipping lightly across the sand, these beautiful creatures are fast, shy, and active only during cooler hours. The early morning is the best time to watch them in motion without the scorching sun overhead.
3. Desert Fox – Elusive and Enchanting
Known for their stealth and large ears, desert foxes tend to appear just before or after sunrise. While spotting one takes luck and patience, our expert guides know just where to look during your Early Morning Desert Safari.
4. Falcons & Hawks – The Sky Kings of the Desert
Dubai’s national bird, the falcon, along with hawks and desert kestrels, often soars high in the early light. Their silhouettes against the rising sun are unforgettable. Some tours even feature falconry displays as part of the safari experience.
5. Spiny-tailed Lizards & Desert Reptiles
Camouflaged and quick to burrow, desert reptiles like spiny-tailed lizards are surprisingly common—but only in the cooler hours. Their movement becomes sluggish as the day heats up, so early mornings offer the best chance for sightings.
6. Desert Hares – Speedy and Shy
Look closely and you might see desert hares darting through the dunes. They’re most active in the early morning, avoiding the midday heat. Their quick sprints and long ears make them a charming part of the safari.
7. Migratory and Rare Desert Birds
From desert larks to hoopoe birds, Dubai’s protected reserves are home to hundreds of bird species—some migratory, others permanent. Your Early Morning Desert Safari offers a front-row seat to this avian spectacle.
