Embark on a desert safari

With such a vast area, a desert safari is the best way of covering most of Lut’s attractions and experiences.

There are lots of ways to see the Lut Desert, but a desert safari will take you to places you wouldn't get the chance to see on a typical day tour. Get off the beaten track and onto the dunes for one of the most thrilling ways to experience these epic landscapes. Riding in an off-road 4x4 through the kaluts and salt plains, this is pure adventure and one of the most memorable ways to explore the Lut Desert.

There's more to a desert safari than just the driving. Some of the other highlights from these tours are sleeping in tents in the middle of the desert like a real nomad, seeing the bright and vast Lut Desert night sky, experiencing some of the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises you’ll ever see, discovering some of the hidden gems of the region, and interacting with locals in villages around the desert. Of course, you'll also see the main landmarks, including Gandom Beryan - the hottest place on earth!

Most tour operators that offer safaris will take you on a full tour including sleepovers in the desert! It's a great way to get a complete experience that immerses you in the desert from sunrise to sunset without compromising your comfort. This experience is perfect for visitors who are looking for a mix of adventure, culture, and social activities.
