About this tour

VIP Desert Safari in Dubai is Luxury, Culture & Adventure Combined

If you’re looking for a high end desert experience in Dubai that blends luxury, traditional charm, and heart pounding excitement, the VIP Desert Safari in Dubai is your answer. This tour isn’t your standard off-road ride. It’s personalized from start to finish. Expect private transfers, gourmet dining, and front row seats to desert shows. Whether you’re planning a romantic evening, entertaining guests, or just treating yourself, this is the desert experience designed to impress.

Explore what sets the VIP Safari apart from standard packages. You’ll learn about the exclusive activities, luxurious touches, cultural encounters, and why this is one of the most sought after experiences in the UAE. We’ll also answer the most frequently asked questions to help you book confidently.


What Is a VIP Desert Safari in Dubai?

It is a premium upgrade from the traditional desert safari tours. It includes everything a regular safari offers such as dune bashing, camel rides, and cultural shows, but adds extra layers of luxury and comfort. From private hotel pick up in a 4×4 to reserved VIP seating at the desert camp, this experience is designed for travelers who want a smoother, more refined version of the adventure.

You’re not crammed into a vehicle with strangers. Instead, you enjoy private or small group arrangements. You won’t queue at the buffet. Instead, food is served to your table. You get the best seats for the shows and more personalized service all around.


What to Expect from a VIP Desert Safari tour in Dubai

Here’s a closer look at what makes this experience so special:

1. Private Transfers in a Premium Vehicle

Your VIP treatment starts the moment your chauffeur arrives in a private 4×4, often a Land Cruiser or luxury SUV. Forget waiting around or sharing space with other tourists. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or in a group, you’ll have privacy and comfort on the way to the desert and back.

2. Intense Scenic Dune Bashing or Gentle Drive. You Choose.

Once you reach the desert, the real fun begins. Dune bashing in a VIP package is not just rough and fast but it is tailored to your comfort. You can choose the intensity. Want a wild ride with twists and drops? Your expert driver delivers. Prefer a slow, scenic cruise over the golden dunes? They’ll ease up for you.

For families, older travelers, or those who just want to take in the views, this flexibility is a major plus.

3. Sunset Photography Stop

The VIP Desert Safari often includes a dedicated stop at a panoramic dune top for sunset photos. Guides are happy to take your photos, and the golden hour lighting across the dunes is simply stunning. Some packages may even include a professional photographer.

4. Camel Ride & Sandboarding

After dune bashing, you’ll get to try camel riding that is an iconic part of Arabian heritage. Most VIP tours allow more time for this, giving you a relaxed and unhurried experience. Sandboarding down the soft slopes is usually available too, and it’s a favorite for kids and thrill seekers alike.

5. Exclusive Camp Access

The desert camp is where the experience truly becomes luxurious. Instead of sitting on carpets in the general seating area, you’ll have your own VIP lounge section with cushioned seats, private tables, and attentive waitstaff.

This area is quieter, more comfortable, and well-positioned for the live entertainment. It’s especially ideal for couples or families who want to enjoy the evening in a peaceful atmosphere.

6. Gourmet BBQ Dinner Served at Your Table

No standing in buffet lines here. VIP guests enjoy table service with freshly grilled meats, Arabic mezze, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Many camps also cater to vegetarian and special dietary needs with advance notice so please check with us before booking.

The dining is not just food but a cultural experience. You’ll taste local flavors while soaking in the desert vibes.

7. Live Entertainment, Up Close

Your premium seating puts you right in front of the stage for a vibrant lineup of shows. Most VIP desert safaris feature:

  • Traditional Tanoura dance (whirling dervish performance)
  • Fire show with stunts and effects
  • Classic belly dancing with live Arabic music
  • Oud or tabla music in the background

You’ll feel immersed in Middle Eastern performance art, and since you’re seated in the VIP area, your view is uninterrupted.

8. Optional Extras

Our VIP packages offer add-ons like:

  • Private Falcon photography session
  • Henna tattoo by experienced artists
  • Shisha pipes brought to your table
  • Freshly brewed Arabic coffee and dates

We also offer upgraded experiences like stargazing sessions with a telescope or overnight desert camping in a private tent.


Who Should Book a VIP Desert Safari?

  • Couples on a romantic getaway or honeymoon
  • Families with young children or older guests
  • Business travelers or Corporate groups
  • Anyone looking to avoid crowds and enjoy privacy

It’s also ideal if this is your only chance to experience the Dubai desert and you want to make it truly memorable


How to Choose the Right VIP Safari Package

When comparing VIP Desert Safari tours in Dubai, here’s what to look for:

  • Type of vehicle: Is it a private 4×4 or shared?
  • Camp quality: Some camps are more upscale than others.
  • Inclusions: Does the package include private seating, table service, unlimited refreshments, etc.?
  • Entertainment lineup: Not all camps offer the same performances.
  • Tour duration: Some safaris start early while others go well into the evening.

Always read the fine print before booking.


Why VIP Desert Safari in Dubai is Worth the Price

It’s the kind of tour that makes you stop scrolling through your phone and just be in the moment.

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.
