Overview

The VIP Desert Safari is our most refined evening in the dunes — designed for travellers who want the magic of the Arabian Desert without the crowds. You'll be collected in a premium vehicle, driven deep into a private concession of red dunes, and welcomed into your own Arabic majlis: low cushioned seating, lanterns and a dedicated host for your group.

Between a thrilling sunset dune-bashing session and live entertainment, you'll dine on a gourmet grill prepared à la minute rather than a shared buffet. It's the desert safari reimagined as a celebration — perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries and special occasions.
