VIP Desert Safari Dubai: Packages, Prices and Is It Worth It?
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 run trips at every level, from simple evening safaris to private Hummer trips. This guide explains what a VIP desert safari Dubai trip includes, how our packages compare and how to choose.
What Makes a Safari "VIP"?
On a regular safari, you share the camp with a big crowd. It's lively, but it can get busy. On a VIP trip, you get a better seat, better service and more space. The food is usually a step up as well.
Think of it like flying economy versus business class. You end up in the same place, but the experience is quite different.

How the Evening Goes
Afternoon pickup
We pick you up from your hotel in the afternoon. You'll get your exact pickup time before the trip, so there's no waiting around.
Dune bashing
In the desert, the 4x4 takes you up, over and down 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.
The sunset stop
Next, you stop on a high dune to watch the sun go down. It's the best time for photos, with the sand glowing orange and red.
At the camp
When you arrive at camp, you're taken to the VIP area. There's time for a camel ride and sandboarding before dinner. Then the BBQ buffet opens, and the evening's entertainment begins. When it's over, we take you back to your hotel.
Is VIP Right for You?

Ride in a Hummer
