Which level is best for families?
The VIP Classic and VIP Fortress are built for families: camel rides, henna, falcons, live shows and clean camp toilets. Child pricing from ages 3–11 (typically 20–30% less). For complete privacy and your own pace, the VIP Private gives your family their own camp.
Dune bashing age and health limits
Suitable from about age 5. Can be skipped entirely for toddlers, pregnant guests and anyone with back/neck problems. Tell us when booking; we note it on your voucher.
What children love most
- Camel riding (highlight for most children aged 3–12)
- Henna painting
- Falcon and hawk photo opportunities
- Sandboarding on the dunes
- The Tanoura whirling dervish show
Practical tips
- Bring a light jacket November–February; children feel cold faster
- Wipes and change of clothes for toddlers — sand gets everywhere
- Later pickup (3:00–3:30pm) makes the evening shorter and more manageable for young children
