The desert, without the crowds
The VIP Desert Safari is designed for guests who want more space, more privacy and more attention than a standard group tour allows. You can travel in a private Land Cruiser with a driver who is only looking after your group, choose a time that suits you, and spend the evening at a reserved table instead of a shared seating area.
At the camp, VIP guests are seated in an air-conditioned or shaded lounge with a personal waiter, cooler drinks and a menu that goes beyond the main buffet. Seats are placed with a clear view of the stage, so you can watch the Tanoura, belly dance and fire performances without queuing or standing.
It suits couples marking an occasion, families travelling with grandparents, small groups of friends and business guests who want to host clients in the desert. We can add decorations or a small celebration setup on request.

Health and comfort
Dune bashing is bumpy. Pregnant guests and anyone with back, neck or heart problems should ask for a gentler transfer.
What to wear
Smart casual is fine. Closed shoes help on the sand, and a light layer is useful after sunset in winter.
