Sunset Photography Tips on Your Evening Safari

Sunsets in the desert are nothing short of spectacular — and the Evening Desert Safari gives you prime opportunities to capture them. The changing colours of the sky combined with the sweeping sand dunes make for unforgettable photos.

To make the most of your sunset photography, arrive early at the scenic dune vantage points where the tour stops. As the sun begins its descent, the warm light casts long shadows and dramatic contrasts across the landscape — ideal conditions for striking photos.

Bring a camera or smartphone with good low-light capability, and experiment with silhouette shots of your group against the colourful horizon. Try wide-angle shots to emphasize the vastness of the desert and close-up portraits with golden backlighting for more artistic captures.

Another tip is to use the rule of thirds, positioning the horizon on the top or bottom third of your frame for more dynamic images. Also, don’t forget to shoot in burst mode — these moments can change rapidly as the sun sets.
