VIP Safari Experience Abu Dhabi
VIP Safari Experience Abu Dhabi Practical Guide
The VIP safari experience Abu Dhabi guests book covers the same dune bashing, camel riding and sandboarding as our standard evening tour — the difference shows up once you reach camp.
VIP Safari Experience Abu Dhabi Prices
The VIP Desert Safari is AED 199 per person — only AED 50 more than the standard Evening Desert Safari at AED 149. With a 30-minute quad bike ride added, the VIP Desert Safari + ATV comes to AED 350. For most couples, that small step up is the best value upgrade we sell.
A VIP Evening, Step by Step
- 3–4 PM: hotel pickup in a 4x4 Land Cruiser, heading to the dunes near Al Khatim (about 45 minutes away)
- Late afternoon: dune bashing, photo stops, camel riding and sandboarding
- Evening: reserved VIP seating at camp, dedicated server for the BBQ buffet, henna, Arabic coffee and dates, then the Tanoura and belly dance shows
- 9–9:30 PM: drop-off back at your hotel
What "VIP" Actually Means Here
Instead of general shared seating, VIP guests get a reserved carpeted seating area and a dedicated server for the BBQ buffet. It is a small change on paper that makes a big difference in comfort, especially for couples or families who want a bit more privacy while watching the Tanoura and belly dance shows.
Who Should Book VIP
- Couples celebrating an anniversary or proposal
- Families who want a quieter corner of the camp
- Guests who've already done a standard safari and want to try something a little more premium
Want To Add a Quad Bike Too?
Many guests combine the VIP experience with a 30-minute ATV ride using our VIP Desert Safari + ATV package — the most complete option we offer.
VIP or Private — Which Upgrade Fits You?
VIP upgrades your time at camp; a Private Desert Safari (AED 1000 per vehicle, up to 6 guests) upgrades the ride itself with your own driver and flexible pickup time. Our private safari guide walks through that decision in detail. Booking either is simple: we confirm on WhatsApp, you pay by cash or card on the day, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours ahead.
Prefer your own private vehicle instead of a VIP seat within a shared camp? Compare this against our Private Desert Safari package, which gives you a dedicated car and driver from pickup to drop-off.
