Why choose a private VIP desert safari
A private VIP experience gives you control: your schedule, your route and your level of exclusivity. For families, couples and visitors who value service, private tours reduce waiting, improve safety checks and let you choose the mix of activities that matter most.
Personalised timing and itinerary
When you go private the itinerary is set to your needs. You pick morning slots if you want firmer sand and a short day, or sunset if you prioritise golden-hour photos and a Desert BBQ Dinner.
Privacy and exclusivity for events
Private camps and VIP seating provide an intimate setting for proposals, birthdays or corporate entertaining. You control guest lists and the tempo of the day.
Direct communication and support
With a private booking you get direct WhatsApp confirmation, a narrow pickup window and a single point of contact so you can make last-minute adjustments with minimal fuss.
Top locations near Ras Al Khaimah and Dubai
Your choice of corridor shapes the riding style, scenery and logistics. Two corridors dominate: Al Marmoom for family-friendly bowls and Lahbab Red Dunes for dramatic ridges and photos.
Al Marmoom advantages
Al Marmoom features wide, flowing bowls that are forgiving for first timers and comfortable for passengers. Morning slots here give firmer sand and simpler lines for learning.
Lahbab Red Dunes advantages
Lahbab’s iron-rich sand keeps warm tones that photograph beautifully at sunset. If you want cinematic photos, steep ridgelines and a long ride, Lahbab is ideal.
How to pick based on your group
If you travel with young kids or slower-paced guests, pick Al Marmoom for gentler runs. Choose Lahbab for older teens, action riders and guests who prioritise dramatic backdrops.
What a private VIP experience includes

Typical inclusions are private pickup, licensed guide, safety briefing, helmets and goggles, bottled water, a guided dune block and staged seating at camp if applicable.
Optional VIP upgrades
Upgrades commonly include a private camp, VIP seating, a dedicated mechanic, professional photography, drone footage where permitted and private SUVs for transfers.

Tips to manage cost
Book weekday mornings for reduced rates, avoid unnecessary add-ons and share the private SUV when possible to keep per-person costs lower.
What’s included versus optional upgrades
Knowing what is standard and what costs extra helps you choose the right package. Below is a clear table to guide your choices.
| Item | Commonly Included | Optional Upgrade |
|---|---|---|

When to buy upgrades
Buy upgrades if they solve a practical need for your group: private transfers for tight schedules, a mechanic for longer rider sessions, or a photographer for important events.
What to skip
Avoid paying for extras that duplicate what you already have or that your group will not use — check the itinerary and ask questions before you confirm.
Safety standards and licensed guides
Safety is non-negotiable. Your private VIP booking should include licensed guides, pre-ride briefings, vehicle maintenance logs and clear emergency procedures.
Licensed guides and convoy rules
Licensed guides set the pace, manage spacing and use radio communication for safety. They run practice loops for new drivers and explain passing etiquette so everyone knows what to expect.
Maintenance and mechanical checks
Daily checks on roll cages, brakes, harnesses and tyres are standard. For private VIP bookings, many clients add a dedicated mechanic so any issue is handled on the spot.
Emergency planning and first aid
Guides carry first-aid kits and have clear evacuation plans. Operators coordinate with local emergency services and provide fast communication for any serious incident.
Fleet comfort and on-site services
A modern fleet and good staging areas make your day comfortable. Expect shaded lounges, clean restrooms, chilled beverages and sanitised helmets.
Vehicle types and selection
Private bookings commonly offer dune buggies (2–4 seats), quads and support SUVs. Choose buggies for shared family rides and quads for hands-on action.
Hygiene and equipment care
Helmets and goggles are sanitised between uses, harnesses are inspected and crew document checks so you can ask for inspection records on arrival.
Guest services at camp
VIP camps have reserved seating, hot or chilled beverages, light snacks or a full Desert BBQ Dinner depending on your package, plus staff to assist children and elders.
Booking process pickup and confirmations
The private booking process is simple and designed around convenience. You choose date and package, share passenger details, confirm pickup address, and receive instant confirmation.
Step-by-step booking
- Choose your package and preferred time (morning or evening).
- Provide passenger names, ages and approximate heights for safety checks.
- Pay online or by phone and receive an e-voucher and WhatsApp confirmation.
Pickup window and day-of communication
You’ll get a WhatsApp message with a precise pickup window (usually 15–30 minutes) the evening before. Private transfers compress that window so you wait less.
Payment, changes and cancellations
Private bookings usually require a deposit or full payment. Policies vary by the package; confirm reschedule and refund terms before you pay. For 24-hour support you can contact Dune Buggy Rentals Dubai any time.
Activities comparison and family suitability
Picking the right mix of activities ensures everyone in your group has a highlight. Below are common activity choices and clear age/height guidance.
| Activity | Min Age | Approx Height | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dune Buggy Driver | 16+ | ~150 cm | Harness fit required; ideal for families sharing a ride |
| Buggy Passenger | 5+ | ~110 cm | Seat and belt fit checked on arrival |
| Quad Bike Driver | 16+ | ~150 cm | Practice loop required for new riders |
| Camel Ride | All ages | N/A | Best for very young children and elders |
How to mix activities
Combine a short buggy block for the whole family with a separate quad session for active older teens. Camel rides and sandboarding keep non-riders engaged while others drive.
Accessibility and slower-paced guests
Private VIP tours can set gentler lines, add extra rest stops and allocate a professional driver for passengers, making the day accessible for guests with limited mobility.
Tips for planning the perfect private safari
Small choices make a big difference. Use these tips to get the most from your private VIP booking in January 2026.
Book your preferred window early
Weekend sunset slots and premium photographers fill fast; book at least 48–72 hours ahead for January 2026 or earlier for large events.
Share accurate passenger details
Provide ages and approximate heights when you book so staff can reserve correctly sized harnesses, seats and child options.
Choose upgrades that add value
Pick upgrades that solve a real need: a mechanic for extended rider sessions, private transfers for tight schedules, or a photographer for important celebrations.

What are the age and height requirements for activities?
Drivers are commonly required to be at least 16 years old and roughly 150 cm tall to ensure a safe harness and control fit. Passengers usually need to be 5 years or older and around 110 cm for secure belts. Final checks occur at staging and alternatives will be offered if gear doesn’t fit.

Yes. Private camps, VIP seating and corporate packages with dedicated marshals and transfers are available. These require advance notice so staff, vehicles and catering can be reserved to your requirements.

Cancellation and reschedule terms depend on the package level; private VIP bookings often have stricter terms. Always confirm the policy at booking and ask about weather-related reschedules — operators commonly offer credits or alternative dates if conditions are unsafe.
What should you wear and bring for a private VIP safari?
Wear closed shoes, breathable layers and a light jacket for cool January mornings. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, secure straps for cameras or phones and any medication. Avoid loose scarves and jewellery that may catch in harnesses.
How do you ensure safety and comfort for older guests?
Private tours can assign a pro driver for passengers, set gentler routes, and provide shaded lounge time and frequent rest stops. Inform the booking team of mobility or medical needs so appropriate support can be arranged.
Can you customise pickups and drop-offs?
Yes. Private VIP bookings let you choose specific pickup points and times within the operator’s coverage area. For extended pickup zones or luxury SUV requests, confirm availability and any surcharge when you book.
