Desert Safari VIP: Is It Worth The Price?

My VIP Desert Safari Experience

I don't usually splurge on tourist activities, but I made an exception for a VIP desert safari on January 15th. And, honestly, it was a game-changer. Our driver, Khalid, was knowledgeable and ensured we had a blast. We paid around AED 250 per person for the upgrade.

What's Included in the VIP Package?

So, what do you get for the extra AED 150-200 per person? Priority boarding, a private table at the camp, and a personalized service are just a few perks. You'll also get to skip the queues for activities like dune bashing and camel riding. But, is it worth it? Look, if you're short on time or want a hassle-free experience, it might be a good investment.

Pros and Cons of the VIP Experience

Here's the thing: the VIP experience is all about convenience and exclusivity. You'll get a more personalized service, and the staff will cater to your every need. On the other hand, you might feel a bit isolated from the rest of the group, and the activities remain the same. I'd say it's a good option if you're traveling with kids or want a special treat.

Comparison to Other Tours

I've also taken the Dubai Half-Day City Tour, which was great, but it's a different experience altogether. If you're looking for something more thrilling, you might want to consider the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi Tickets. Honestly, the VIP desert safari is a unique experience that's hard to compare to other tours.

Practical Tips and Booking

So, if you do decide to go for the VIP desert safari experience, make sure to book in advance to avoid availability issues. You can book your tour through Roamigo Trips, and they'll take care of the rest. And, as a tip, don't forget to try the delicious Arabic coffee and dates at the camp — I ordered the machboos, which was amazing. You'll have a great time, and who knows, you might even spot some dolphins on the way back to Dubai, near the Jumeirah Beach Residence area, close to the Dubai Marina metro station.
