★★★★★We had an absolutely amazing Desert Safari. The kids had the experience of a lifetime. … The highlight was when he drove us to the highest dune for sunset, a place where no other guide managed to go.

What to wear

  • Sunglasses for the dune drive.
  • A light jacket from November to March.
What to bring
  • Phone or camera, the light out there is unreal.
  • A small bag for valuables.

Who it’s for

Good for first-timers, friends and families. Dune bashing isn’t recommended if you’re pregnant, have back or neck problems, or for kids under 3 on a lap. Tell your driver and he’ll keep it gentle, or skip it.

Payment and cancellation

Nothing to pay when you book. Pay your driver on the day, cash or card (card +5%). Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.

Questions

VIP safari, answered.

What do I get over Premium?

Five upgrades: an extended dune route into the open desert, your own VIP chair area by the stage, a falcon photo and Arabic dress for photos, luxury dining, and every show twice. The difference is AED 160 per person.

What does VIP chair seating mean?

VIP guests sit in a separate area with proper chairs instead of the floor-cushion majlis used for other packages. It’s closer to the stage with a clearer view, more space, and you go straight to the falcon and Arabic dress photos without queuing.

Is it good for a proposal or anniversary?

It’s the package couples usually pick for occasions. Tell us when you book so your driver and the camp team know what you’re planning.

Is the 4x4 private, or shared with strangers?

On Sharing (AED 299 per person) the Land Cruiser may pick up 2–3 other guests heading to the same camp, straight from their hotels. On Private (AED 1,299 per car) the car is yours, up to 6 guests, and you choose the pickup time within a 30-minute window.

Is quad biking included?

No, quad bike and dune buggy aren’t included in any package. Ask us on WhatsApp and we’ll add either to your booking.

Do children pay the same as adults?

Kids under 3 are free and ride on a parent’s lap. From age 3 they pay the adult price (AED 299 on Sharing) and count toward the 6 seats on Private.

How far ahead should I book?

April to October, 1–2 days ahead is usually fine. November to March, especially weekends, book 4–7 days ahead; VIP seats and falcon slots are limited. Same-day is sometimes possible, message us first.

What if there’s a sandstorm or rain?

It’s rare, a few days a year. If it isn’t safe to go into the dunes we reschedule for free, or run the camp evening without dune bashing if you prefer. We never go out when it’s unsafe.
