Perfect for Couples, Families & Corporate Groups
Whether you're planning a romantic evening, a special family outing, or a corporate team event, this tour offers a more private desert evening with a personal touch. Your own table and hookah make it especially popular with groups celebrating a special occasion, and it is one of our most requested desert safari Dubai packages for couples and friends alike.
Why Choose Our VIP Gold Desert Safari Dubai?
Your Own Separate VIP Table with Hookah
Unlike our VIP Premium tour, where guests share the VIP seating area, VIP Gold gives you a fully separate table within the VIP area, just for your group. Each table comes with its own hookah, juice, and refreshments, served directly at your table — a step up in privacy from shared seating.
A Step Above VIP Premium, a Step Below VIP Platinum
This tour sits between our VIP Premium (150 AED) and VIP Platinum (300 AED) packages. It adds the private table, hookah and juice that VIP Premium doesn't include, while remaining more accessible than VIP Platinum, which offers a private air-conditioned room, a mini tabletop grill and extra activities.
Complimentary Ghutra & Authentic Cultural Touches
This experience includes a complimentary Ghutra (traditional Arabian headscarf) as part of your henna painting and Arabic costume photo session — a small but memorable detail that makes this 4×4 desert safari Dubai tour feel even more special and authentically Arabian.
Best Time for the VIP Gold Desert Safari Dubai
October to April — Peak Season for a VIP Evening
The best time for this desert safari VIP package in Dubai is between October and April, when evening temperatures range from a comfortable 18–28°C. During these cooler months, the dune bashing and sunset photography session are especially enjoyable, and your separate VIP table with hookah service offers a relaxed setting for the BBQ buffet dinner and live entertainment.
Year-Round Availability — Comfortable Even in Summer
This desert safari VIP package operates year-round, including the warmer summer months from May to September. The 4×4 vehicles used for dune bashing are fully air-conditioned, and your separate table is in the shaded VIP area of the camp. If you'd prefer air-conditioned seating on a hot summer evening, VIP Premium includes a shared air-conditioned VIP room and VIP Platinum a private one.
VIP Gold vs VIP Premium vs VIP Platinum — Which to Choose?
Choosing between our three VIP packages comes down to the kind of seating you want. VIP Premium, from 150 AED, offers a shared VIP seating area and a shared air-conditioned VIP room with table service. VIP Gold, from 230 AED, gives you a fully separate table with its own hookah, juice and a complimentary Ghutra. VIP Platinum, from 300 AED, adds a private air-conditioned room, a mini tabletop grill, a longer camel ride, a falcon photo and 20% off quad bikes. All three include the same core desert safari Dubai activities — dune bashing, camel riding, and sandboarding — with the camp experience being the main difference between them.
