Overview

The Private Desert Safari gives your group exclusive use of a 4x4 and a dedicated driver-guide, so the pace and the plan are entirely yours. Want more time bashing the dunes, extra photo stops, or a quieter dinner away from the crowds? Just say the word — your guide tailors the day around you.

It's the most flexible way to experience the desert, and often the best value for families or groups of four or more. You'll still enjoy all the classics — dune bashing, camel rides, sandboarding and a camp dinner — but with privacy, comfort and total control.
