VIP Desert Safari Dubai: Premium Desert Experience with Comfort and Style

If you’re after a desert tour that combines adventure with extra comfort, personalized service, and a quieter atmosphere, the VIP Desert Safari Dubai is a perfect fit.

Unlike the standard group tours, this VIP option is tailored for guests who want the classic desert safari activities such as dune bashing, camel rides, dinner, and live shows but with more space, better seating, and attentive service. It’s ideal for couples, families, or anyone celebrating a special occasion and looking for a more relaxed desert evening.

Let’s walk through what makes this VIP safari different and why so many travelers prefer it for a more refined desert experience.


🌟 What Is the VIP Desert Safari Dubai?

The VIP Desert Safari offers the same main highlights as a traditional evening safari, but with key upgrades for comfort and exclusivity.

You still get:

  • 4×4 dune bashing
  • Camel ride
  • Sunset photography stop
  • BBQ buffet
  • Evening entertainment

But with VIP access, you’ll enjoy:

  • Reserved, upgraded seating away from the crowd
  • Table service for food and drinks
  • Lounge style setup with cushions and low tables
  • A more peaceful and less crowded setting

With these upgrades, you won’t need to queue for food or find a spot in a busy area. Everything is brought directly to you, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy the evening.


🛻 What’s Included in the VIP Experience?

Here’s a detailed look at what’s typically part of the VIP Desert Safari Dubai experience:

1. Hotel Pickup and Desert Journey
You’ll be picked up in a shared or private 4×4 from your hotel or residence. The ride to the desert takes around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on your location.

2. Dune Bashing Adventure
Upon arrival, your guide will deflate the tires for a thrilling session of dune driving. Get ready for quick turns, steep climbs, and sudden drops across the golden desert dunes. It usually lasts 25–35 minutes and is conducted by licensed drivers trained in desert off-roading.

3. Camel Ride and Sunset Views
After the drive, you’ll enjoy a short camel ride. It’s a great way to try traditional travel. There’s also time for a sunset stop where you can take photos as the sky turns gold and orange across the desert horizon.

🏕️ Exclusive VIP Seating at the Camp

The real difference is at the desert camp.

Instead of sitting in the general area, VIP guests are given access to a quieter, more comfortable section with:

  • A private table close to the performance stage
  • Waiter service for all food and drinks
  • Padded floor seating with cushions and low tables
  • A more spacious and peaceful camp environment

From arrival to departure, the experience is more relaxed and intimate.

🍽️ VIP BBQ Dinner and Refreshments

Dinner is a highlight of the evening, and with the VIP upgrade, you won’t stand in buffet lines. Everything is served directly to your table, freshly prepared and hot.

Expect a mix of:

  • Grilled meats like chicken, lamb kebabs
  • Biryani, pasta, salads, and Arabic bread
  • Desserts such as fruit, cakes, and sweets
  • Unlimited water, soft drinks, tea, and coffee

Vegetarian options are also available and you can just let the team know in advance.

💃 Live Cultural Shows

Your evening includes a lineup of traditional entertainment, performed just in front of the VIP area for the best view:

  • Tanoura Dance – A mesmerizing spinning folk dance
  • Belly Dance – A graceful and rhythmic performance
  • Fire Show – A thrilling display of skill and excitement

These performances run throughout the night, adding to the festive yet peaceful vibe.

🎁 Extra Activities Available at the Camp

As with all desert safari tours, you’ll also have the chance to enjoy:

  • Henna painting
  • Shisha (hookah) in the smoking area
  • Photo with a falcon (if available)
  • Traditional dress up for photos
  • Souvenir shopping

All of these are optional, and you can take your time exploring each one.

We loved it so much

We were fortunate to book this tour. The desert experience was just amazing. Camel ride was smooth. We were really thrilled. And the guide took every detail to its finest. And I want to comment about the arabian tent that was laid down by our guide. We felt we were the stars of the show but that was our guide who deserved our appreciation. We highly recommend this tour.
