A Straight-Talking Guide to VIP Desert Safari Dubai Trips
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 everything feels more relaxed and better organised.
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.
VIP vs Standard: What's the Difference?
On a regular safari, you share the camp with a big crowd. 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 tends to be better too.
It's a bit like economy versus business class on a plane. You're going to the same place, but the journey feels very different.

A VIP Evening, Step by Step
Pickup

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.
Sunset
Then you stop on top of a dune for the sunset. This is the moment for photos, as the sand glows orange and red.
At the camp
At the camp, you're shown to your VIP seating area. You can ride a camel and try 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 with older relatives appreciate the better seating. Companies book it when they're hosting important guests. And anyone who's done a busy standard safari before often comes back for VIP.
The Hummer Experience
If you want to arrive in style, our Hummer safari Dubai trip costs AED 600 per person. A Hummer feels very different on more info the dunes, bigger, more powerful and very photogenic. The trip lasts six to seven hours and ends with the full evening at camp.
