The Jeddah Desert Guide

A little planning. More time to enjoy the desert.

A good visit starts before you leave: with the right kind of programme, a suitable time and a clear idea of what to bring.

Use these guides to plan a first safari, a relaxed gathering or a visit with your family, friends or colleagues. Start with the question you need answered, then explore the related guide.

Plan your first desert visit

Not sure what a safari includes? Understand the different visit styles, compare the arrangements and prepare the questions to ask before booking.

Read the first-visit safari guide.

Choose when to go

Think through the season, the time of day and the forecast checks for your destination. Plan around the experience you want rather than one fixed departure time.

Read the timing guide.

Know what to wear and bring

Keep a camp visit simple, and check the separate equipment needs of any activities you choose. Find practical suggestions for day visits, families and overnight preparation.

Read the clothing and packing guide.

Find your kind of outing

Adventure, photographs or time together? Explore ideas and choose a few that match your group, without trying to fit everything into one visit.
