A Straight-Talking Guide to VIP Desert Safari Dubai Trips
The word "VIP" can sound pricey and a little over the top. In the desert, it mostly means more comfort and fewer people around you. You still get the dunes, the sunset and the camel ride, but the evening feels calmer and better looked after.
At VIP Arabian Safari, we offer everything from simple evening trips to private Hummer safaris. This guide explains what a VIP desert safari Dubai trip includes, how our packages compare and how to choose.
VIP vs Standard: What's the Difference?
On a standard trip, you share the camp with lots of other guests. It's lively, but it can get busy. With VIP, you get better seats, better service and more room to relax. The food tends to be better too.
It's a bit like economy versus business class on a plane. You end up in the same place, but the experience is quite different.
Comparing Our Tiers
Desert Safari Dubai, AED 80
The standard evening safari is AED 80 per person, for six to seven hours. It includes 4x4 dune bashing, a camel ride, sandboarding and a BBQ dinner with veg and non-veg dishes. It's a great choice if you're on a budget.
VIP Desert Safari Dubai, AED 120
For just AED 40 more, the VIP trip gives you a noticeably better evening. Our VIP desert safari price is AED 120 per person, and it's the one we suggest to most first-timers. You get better seating and service at the camp, along with the full desert programme.
Silver at AED 250
The desert safari Silver package costs AED 250 per person. It brings more comfort and service, along with live entertainment. It's a good fit for couples and birthdays. Every desert safari Silver package booking comes with the full evening in the desert.
Deluxe Desert Safari Dubai, AED 400
Our deluxe desert safari Dubai package costs AED 400 per person. It's made for guests who want a premium evening all the way through.
Gold at AED 500
The desert safari Gold package, at AED 500 per person, sits at the top of our shared trips. It's the fullest luxury desert safari Dubai experience we offer, with our best service and entertainment.
Inclusions vary a little between tiers, so check each tour page or ask us on WhatsApp before you book. We're always happy to explain the difference. Many guests book the standard trip first, then come back for Silver or Gold on their next visit. Whichever you choose, you'll see the same beautiful dunes.
What Your VIP Evening Looks Like
Pickup
Your driver collects you from your hotel in the afternoon. We confirm the exact time with you before the day, so there's no waiting around.
Dune bashing
Once you reach the desert, the 4x4 heads up and over the dunes. It's bumpy and exciting, and it's over before you know it. If you'd prefer a gentler ride, just tell the driver.
Sunset
Then you stop on top of a dune for the sunset. This is the moment for photos, as the sand glows orange and red.
At the camp
When you arrive at camp, you're taken to the VIP area. You can ride a camel and try sandboarding before dinner. Then dinner is served, followed by the entertainment. When it's over, we take you back to your hotel.
Who Is a VIP Trip For?
Honeymooners and couples celebrating an anniversary love the quieter feel. Families travelling with grandparents appreciate the comfy seats. Companies book it when they're hosting important guests. And plenty of people who tried a standard trip come back for VIP next time.
The Hummer Experience
If you want to arrive in style, our Hummer safari Dubai trip costs AED 600 per person. Riding the dunes in a Hummer feels completely different, bigger, louder and great for photos. It lasts six to seven hours, with the full evening programme at the camp.
Private VIP Desert Safari
Prefer not to share with other guests? A private VIP desert safari gives families, couples and small groups their own space. It's perfect for a proposal, an anniversary or a family get-together. Ask us about our private retreat, which runs for around six to eight hours.
Inside the VIP Desert Camp
A VIP desert camp Dubai evening is all about comfort. You get better seats, more space and attentive service. The BBQ buffet has lots of choice, including vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. On higher tiers, live entertainment keeps the evening going.
Combine Your Safari With a Cruise
Lots of guests want to see the desert and the Marina lights. A desert safari and dhow cruise combo is the simplest way to do both. You can also book our Evening Marina Cruise with Dinner on its own for AED 99. There are also full-day combos with Abu Dhabi, city tours and sunrise trips.
Is VIP Worth It?
If money is tight and it's your first desert trip, the standard trip will do the job. But if you can spend AED 120, the VIP trip is well worth it. You'll have a more comfortable evening, and the difference in price is small. For celebrations, the Silver or Gold packages make the night feel special.
