A more comfortable desert evening
The thrill of the dunes in the afternoon, then an evening at camp done in comfort: VIP seating, a BBQ grilled live and served with no queue, and five live shows under the desert sky.

What VIP gets you
The desert adventure is the same on every evening safari. The difference is how you spend the evening at camp, which is most of the night.
Instead of the standard floor seating on carpets and cushions, you relax in the VIP seating area for dinner and the shows. It's a noticeably more comfortable evening, especially for older guests or anyone who'd rather not sit on the floor for a few hours.
Meat and vegetables grilled live, and no line at the buffet.
A 4x4 drive over the dunes in the late-afternoon light.
Time on the sand to watch and photograph the sun going down.
Belly dance, two fire shows, tanoura and Khaleeji dance.

The camp is where you spend most of the evening, so a comfortable seat and dinner without queueing make a real difference. If you just want the dunes and a good dinner at the lowest price, the standard evening safari is great value.
