What makes this couples-focused
Standard buggy + safari combos work fine for couples but bundle you into the shared evening at the camp with other guests. The couples package shifts three things: the buggy is the 2-seater (or upgraded Can-Am) timed specifically for the sunset photo stop; the camp gives you a private table away from the main shared section; and the photographer add-on is offered up-front rather than as an awkward upsell at the staging area. The cost is roughly 30-50% more than the standard buggy + safari combo because of the private table arrangement and (if booked) the photographer.
What's typically included
- Hotel pickup and drop-off
- Sunset 2-seater 1000cc buggy 30-min (or Can-Am Maverick X3 on upgrade)

- Live shows + BBQ buffet dinner

Couples-specific upgrades (all opt-in)
- Private convoy: just your buggy with a dedicated lead guide (quiet sunset photo, no other guests in frame)
- Photographer add-on: opt-in only, AED 150-300 depending on shoot length, captures sunset + camp evening
- Private 4x4 to camp: combo with private safari (AED 1,400 per car) — guaranteed private camp seating
- Champagne toast (BYO bottle — we don't sell alcohol but it can be brought) at the staging area pre-flight
- Henna design with partner's name — free service at the camp henna station
- Anniversary or proposal arrangement — mention at booking, we coordinate quietly
Proposal logistics — what we can do
Mention 'proposal' or 'anniversary' on the WhatsApp booking message and we'll coordinate the moment quietly. Standard arrangement: lead guide pauses your buggy at the photo stop while the rest of the convoy continues, giving you 5-10 minutes alone on the dune crest with the sunset behind you. If you book the photographer add-on, the photographer is briefed in advance and will capture the moment without being obvious about it. Champagne can be brought by you — we don't sell alcohol but we'll keep it cold and ready at the staging area. We don't bundle a fixed 'proposal package' because every proposal is different — case-by-case is more reliable.
