VIP Desert Safari Dubai: Packages, Prices and Is It Worth It?
When people hear "VIP", they often think it means expensive and a bit over the top. On a desert trip, it usually just means more comfort and less crowd. You still enjoy the dunes, the sunset and the camels, but everything feels more relaxed and better organised.
At VIP Arabian Safari, we run trips at every level, from simple evening safaris to private Hummer trips. This guide covers what a VIP desert safari Dubai trip includes, how our tiers compare and which one suits you.
What Changes When You Go VIP?
On a standard trip, you share the camp with lots of other guests. It's fun and lively, but it can feel busy. With VIP, you get better seats, better service and more room to relax. The food is usually a step up as well.
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.
Our Packages, From Standard to Gold
The Standard Trip at AED 80
Our standard evening trip costs AED 80 per person and lasts six to seven hours. You get dune bashing in a 4x4, a camel ride, sandboarding and a BBQ dinner with veg and non-veg options. It's a good option if you want to keep costs down.
The VIP Trip at AED 120
Add AED 40, and the VIP trip makes the evening noticeably better. Our VIP desert safari price is AED 120 per person, and it's the package we recommend to most first-time visitors. You get better seating and service at the camp, along with the full desert programme.
Desert Safari Silver Package, AED 250
Our Silver package is priced at 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 for guests who want a more premium evening from start to finish.
Gold at AED 500
The desert safari Gold package, at AED 500 per person, sits at the top of our shared trips. It's our most complete luxury desert safari Dubai experience, with the best service and entertainment.
Each tier has slightly different inclusions, so check the tour page or message us before booking. We're always happy to explain the difference. Lots of guests try the standard trip first and upgrade to Silver or Gold next time. Whichever you choose, you'll see the same beautiful dunes.
What Your VIP Evening Looks Like
Afternoon pickup
We pick you up from your hotel in the afternoon. We confirm the exact time with you before the day, so there's no waiting around.
Into the dunes
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 like it a bit calmer, just ask the driver.
Sunset
Next, you stop on a high dune to watch the sun go down. It's the best time for photos, as the sand glows orange and red.
Your VIP evening
At the camp, you're shown to your VIP seating area. There's time for a camel ride and sandboarding before dinner. Then dinner is served, followed by the entertainment. At the end of the night, we drive you back to your hotel.
Is VIP Right for You?
Couples on honeymoon or celebrating an anniversary love the calmer setting. Families with older relatives appreciate the better seating. Business groups and VIP guests choose it when they want to impress. And anyone who's done a busy standard safari before often comes back for VIP.
Hummer Safari Dubai
If you want to arrive in style, our Hummer safari Dubai trip costs AED 600 per person. A Hummer feels very different on the dunes, bigger, more powerful and very photogenic. The trip lasts six to seven hours and ends with the full evening at camp.
Keep It Just for Your Group
Would you rather not share your evening? Our private VIP desert safari is designed for families, couples and small groups who want their own space. It's a great way to mark a proposal, an anniversary or a family reunion. Ask us about the private retreat option, which runs for six to eight hours.
At the Camp
A VIP desert camp Dubai evening is all about comfort. You get better seats, more space and attentive service. Dinner is a BBQ buffet with plenty 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. The Evening Marina Cruise with Dinner is also available on its own for AED 99. We also offer full-day combos with Abu Dhabi, city sightseeing and sunrise trips.
Our Honest Advice
If money is tight and it's your first desert trip, the standard trip will do the job. But if you can stretch to AED 120, the VIP trip is worth it. You'll have a more comfortable evening, and the difference in price is small. For a special occasion, Silver or Gold makes the night feel extra special.
