Full description

The VIP Desert Safari adds comfort and service to the classic evening in the dunes. You are collected from your hotel in a Land Cruiser and driven to the Red Dunes, where the dune bashing session runs for about 50 minutes, followed by a sunset photo stop.

At the camp you get a dedicated VIP seating area, which helps you avoid the long queues. Arabic coffee and fresh dates greet you, and you can try a camel ride, sandboarding, henna painting, and dress up in Arabic costumes for photos.

The big difference is dinner. Starters are served at your table, followed by a continental buffet with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, a live BBQ cooked at the campsite, and Arabic sweets and fresh fruit. Soft drinks, tea, coffee and water are unlimited.

Evening entertainment includes a belly dance, a fire show and a Tanoura show. Quad bikes and buggy rides can be added for an extra charge.

If you want a relaxed, more personal evening than the Basic safari, this is the one to pick. Pickup times are confirmed after booking.

Booking is handled through our booking form or by WhatsApp, and the team confirms pickup details afterwards. Our cancellation schedule applies to changes, and anything not listed in the inclusions should be treated as an extra.
