Is the VIP Upgrade Worth the Extra Cost?

You're at the checkout page, and you see the option: "Upgrade to VIP for AED 100". Is it a tourist trap, or a genuine upgrade?

What Does VIP Actually Mean?

In the context of Dubai Desert Safaris, VIP usually refers to the Camp Experience, not necessarily the dune bashing.

The Benefits

  1. Table Service: Instead of standing in a long buffet line (which can get crowded), food is brought to your table.
  2. Better Seating: You get cushioned sofas right in front of the stage, rather than floor cushions at the back.
  3. AC Access: Some VIP tents have air conditioning, which is a lifesaver in July and August.

Conclusion

If you are traveling with elderly parents or small children, the VIP upgrade is highly recommended for the comfort alone.
