When you think of Dubai, what comes to mind? Towering skyscrapers, glamorous shopping malls, and world-class resorts? While the city is undeniably modern and luxurious, there’s another side of Dubai that offers an unforgettable and deeply personal experience — the private desert safari.
At Desert Planet Tourism, we believe that your journey through the Arabian desert should be just as luxurious and private as the city you’re visiting. That’s why we offer tailored, VIP-level private desert safari Dubai packages designed to match your pace, style, and interests.
What Is a Private Desert Safari?
A private desert safari is a fully personalized tour of Dubai’s desert landscape. Unlike shared safaris, where you join a group, private safaris are customized for couples, families, or small groups who want a more intimate, comfortable, and luxurious desert experience.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a peaceful retreat, a private safari gives you full control over the itinerary, pickup time, activities, and pace.
