Additional Information
VIP table seating means your group has a dedicated private dining table for the evening — distinctly different from the standard floor mats or shared bench seating of regular desert safaris.
Not recommended for pregnant women, guests with serious back, neck, or spinal conditions, or guests with heart conditions, due to dune bashing.
Children aged 5 and above are welcome. Children aged 5–10 qualify for a discounted child rate — please select at the time of booking.
The falcon photo experience is included — a trained, tame falcon is placed on your gloved arm for a professional photo moment. It is safe and guided by a trained falconer.
Dress code for the desert: comfortable, lightweight clothing. Closed-toe shoes or sandals are both suitable. Avoid white or expensive clothing — desert sand is difficult to remove.
Bring sunscreen (SPF 50+), sunglasses, and a light jacket for cooler desert evenings (October–March).
A valid photo ID or passport may be required at certain VIP camp entrances.
Vegetarian, vegan, and halal BBQ dinner options are available — please inform us of dietary requirements at the time of booking.
Shisha is available at the VIP camp for an additional charge — local flavours including apple, grape, and mint.

During Ramadan and UAE public holidays, belly dance entertainment may be restricted in line with local regulations.
Photography is warmly welcomed throughout the entire evening — your driver and camp staff will assist with the best photo spots.

FAQ
In a standard desert safari, guests sit on floor cushions or shared benches at communal tables in large open camps. This VIP package gives your group a dedicated private dining table with VIP sofa seating, priority service, and a more refined camp setting away from the general crowd. The BBQ dinner itself is also elevated — with a live grill station, a broader menu of freshly cooked dishes, mezze, salads, and desserts — rather than a basic buffet.
The Lahbab Red Dunes, located approximately 45–60 km from central Dubai, are the UAE's most dramatic and photogenic desert landscape. Unlike the golden-beige dunes found elsewhere, Lahbab's dunes are a rich terracotta red, stained by iron oxide in the sand. They are taller, steeper, and more thrilling than standard dune bashing locations — making them the number one choice for serious desert safari experiences in Dubai.
Yes, the falcon photo experience is fully included in this VIP package. A trained, tame falcon will be placed on your gloved arm by a professional falconer for an iconic desert photograph. Falconry is the UAE's most treasured cultural heritage and a UNESCO-listed practice — this is a genuinely special moment, not just a photo prop.
The VIP camp features five live cultural performances throughout the evening: the Tanoura whirling show (a spinning dancer in a colourful skirt), belly dancing, Khaleeji traditional dance, Debke group dance, and a thrilling fire show to close the night. All performances are viewed from your VIP seating area.
Yes, door-to-door hotel pickup and drop-off from any hotel, residence, or location in Dubai is included. Pickup from Dubai Airport or Dubai Cruise Terminal is also available at no extra charge. For guests in Sharjah, Ajman, or Abu Dhabi, pickup is available at an additional surcharge — please mention your location at booking.
Absolutely. The VIP Red Dune Desert Safari with table dinner is one of the most romantic and memorable experiences in Dubai. The private table setting, sunset camel ride, falcon photo moment, and five live shows under the desert stars make it perfect for couples, honeymoons, and anniversary celebrations. Please mention your occasion at booking and we will arrange a special personal touch.
Yes, the VIP gourmet BBQ dinner includes a full spread of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The live BBQ station serves freshly grilled meats alongside a selection of mezze, salads, hot vegetable dishes, and desserts. Please inform us of any dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergies) at the time of booking and we will ensure your preferences are accommodated.
Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing — there is no strict dress code for the desert camp. Closed-toe shoes or sandals are both suitable for the dune activities. Bring sunscreen (SPF 50+), sunglasses, and a light jacket for the cooler desert evenings between October and March. Avoid white or expensive clothing as fine red sand can be difficult to remove from fabric.
