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 enjoy the dunes, the sunset and the camels, but the evening feels calmer and better looked after.
At VIP Arabian Safari, we offer everything from simple evening trips to private Hummer safaris. 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 standard trip, you share the camp with lots of other guests. It's fun and lively, but it can feel busy. On a VIP trip, you get a better seat, better service and more space. The food tends to be better too.
Think of it like flying economy versus business class. You're going to the same place, but the journey feels very different.
Every Package Explained
The Standard Trip at AED 80
Our standard evening trip costs AED 80 per person and lasts six to seven hours. It includes 4x4 dune bashing, a camel ride, sandboarding and a BBQ dinner with veg and non-veg dishes. It's a good option if you want to keep costs down.
VIP Desert Safari Dubai, AED 120
For just AED 40 more, the VIP trip gives you a noticeably better evening. 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.
Silver at AED 250
Our Silver package is priced at AED 250 per person. It brings more comfort and service, along with live entertainment. It suits couples and anyone celebrating something. Every desert safari Silver package booking comes with the full evening in the desert.
Deluxe at 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 the fullest luxury desert safari Dubai experience we offer, with our best service and entertainment.
Each tier has slightly different inclusions, so check the tour page or message us before booking. We're happy to walk you through the differences. Many guests book the standard trip first, then come back for Silver or Gold on their next visit. Whichever you choose, you'll see the same beautiful dunes.
What Your VIP Evening Looks Like
Afternoon pickup
Your driver collects you from your hotel in the afternoon. We confirm the exact time with you before the day, so you're not left waiting.
Into the dunes
In the desert, the 4x4 takes you up, over and down the dunes. It's a thrilling ride, and the time flies. If you'd prefer a gentler ride, just tell the driver.
The sunset stop
Then you stop on top of a dune for the sunset. This is the moment for photos, with the sand glowing orange and red.
Your VIP evening
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. At the end of the night, we drive you back to your hotel.
Who Is a VIP Trip For?
Honeymooners and couples celebrating an anniversary love the quieter feel. Families travelling with grandparents appreciate the comfy seats. Companies book it when they're hosting important guests. And anyone who's done a busy standard safari before often comes back for VIP.
Ride in a Hummer
For something really special, the Hummer safari Dubai trip is AED 600 per person. Riding the dunes in a Hummer feels completely different, bigger, more powerful and very photogenic. The trip lasts six to seven hours and ends with the full evening at camp.
Private VIP Desert Safari
Prefer not to share with other guests? Our private VIP desert safari is designed for families, couples and small groups who want their own space. It's perfect for a proposal, an anniversary or a family get-together. Ask us about our private retreat, which runs for around six to eight hours.
Your Evening at Camp
A VIP desert camp Dubai evening is all about comfort. You'll have comfy seats, plenty of space and good 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.
Two Trips, One Booking
Lots of guests want to see the desert and the Marina lights. Our desert safari and dhow cruise combo makes that easy. The Evening Marina Cruise with Dinner is also available on its own for AED 99. There are also full-day combos with Abu Dhabi, city tours and sunrise trips.
Should You Upgrade?
If it's your first time in the desert and you're on a tight budget, the standard trip is fine. 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 celebrations, the Silver or Gold packages make the night feel special.
