We had a wonderful desert safari experience. Our guide Shibab welcomed us very kindly. Picked up from our hotel by 4x4 jeep. We were also greeted wonderfully at the meeting point. There were plenty of treats. We also had the falcon experience. Those who wished could also go on a safari with an ATV or quad bike. We had a very fun tour in the red sand desert. Our guide and driver were very experienced. He took our photos at each stop. It was very helpful. We skated by boarding in the sand. We took photos in the desert. Then we went to an elite camp called Al Khayma Camps. They welcomed us wonderfully at the entrance. We fed camels. We traveled with a camel caravan. Tea, coffee, lokma and hookah were served. Henna was done. Photos were taken in Arab clothes. There were dishes from 3 different cuisines (Emirati, Arab, Moroccan). We ate all of them from the open buffet. Afterwards, we ate wonderful desserts. Unlimited soft drinks and water were also offered. There were three different dance shows. We even used telescopes to observe the stars. All of this was included in the price. We didn't pay any extra money. Everyone was very polite. Afterwards, we were dropped off at our hotel with the vehicle we arrived at. Our guide Shibab was very attentive and helpful. He answered all our questions. He told us about the surroundings along the way. We recommend the tour you take with OceanAir Travel. As a camping site, Al khayma camps is wonderful. We definitely recommend it. We shot lots of videos. We will publish it on YouTube so that many people choose this tour company.

Out of this world
Alexandra_S, Apr 2024
Our driver Usmani was incredible, very funny, explained everything so well, driving skills were amazing. Food was out of this world. Very friends staff and good service at the camp, the day was full of things to do and see and experience. When I come back to Dubai I will repeat another trip with the same company. Very well organised and informed before and during trip. The best day. If you come to Dubai and don’t do this trip you are missing out!
A must do tour when visiting Dubai

Shams was the best guide I have ever had in ally travels. He was extremely attentive to all our needs and questions. His driving on the dunes was safe but fun and exciting. He is also one of the best photographers with a phone I have ever come across. He truly made this tour a once in a lifetime experience!
Exceptional tour!

Went on the desert Safari last week and a while, what an amazing trip. Our driver was phenomenal, he really made a big difference and explained everything from start to finish. Riding the quads, the camels, and the desert barbecue were so much fun. This is a trip worth taking.
Amazing and highly recommended
Veronica_M, Apr 2024
Everything about this experience was incredible and Tour Guides were amazing. Our Tour guide Wajahat was very friendly and had great communication prior to picking us up and through out the whole tour. He was very pleasant and made sure we were aware of what we were doing every step of the way. He made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. Wahajat has excellent knowledge of the city and the desert tour events and activities, also an excellent driver. We highly recommend this tour to everyone. At the alkhayma camp, our host was Ishtiaq, he made us feel very comfortable and was ready to serve us through the evening. Excellent Service.
Amazing forever in my heart

Awesomeness overload
Marlin_T, Mar 2024
Our tour guide was amazing, he was not only knowledgeable but a lot of fun. He gave us the most amazing experience as we navigated the desert dunes and other fun activities. Don’t keep him waiting, book this right now. I’d love to do it again.
Superb jorney to the red desert
Laszlo_V, Mar 2024
We had a wonderful time with friends in Dubai including this desert safari, and we were absolutely satisfied with the provided programs. We had great fun, and a really wonderful and tasty meal as bring-a-plate form in a desert oasis with dervish and fire dances. Our driver Farid proved that he is a skilled driver over the dunes of the desert. Thank you for the great adventure.
Excellent Experience

A Great Experience
Robert_S, Mar 2024
What a wonderful night! While we did not do the MTVs, we enjoyed the wild drive in the desert. Our driver/guide was great. We sand surfed and then went to a nice camp. We enjoyed riding the camels and feeding them. He dressed up in local entire and took pictures with a falcon. Plenty of good food, service and entertainment. Watched and took pictures of a beautiful sunset from on top of the dunes. A great time!

Picked up on time at the hotel. Everything listed in the program is done. Staff very friendly and effective.
Tour is incredible and covers a ton of ground
Robert_A, Feb 2024
Wow! Can’t believe how much we packed into one tour. Tehseen was an amazing host and kept things moving and provided excellent details on what we are doing. Really went the extra mile to make our group happy. There are a bunch of tours out there that do similar things but this one really does the best of everything. Larger sand dunes for bashing, legit good food for dinner, everything was top notch. Overall an amazing tour operator highly recommended! Thanks again to Tehseen for all he did to make this so enjoyable!
The best desert tour and desert camp is here.

Great value for money
Ott_S, Jan 2024
By far the best money spent in dubai. The atv ride for 10 minutes is more than enough, dune bashing is really cool, sandboarding again okay. The camp is awesome, dinner was great, the show was nice and also we enjoyed the shisha. Our guide Faraz was professional, friendly and made sure everyone was taken care of. Definitely would go again with friends and family
Amazing your, lots of variety, great value
Lee_N, Jan 2024
We would recommend this tour without hesitation. Yes, it is for the tourists and as residents, we were a little reticent about that, but we needn’t have worried. Our guide, Shahib, was superb - unobtrusive but kind, warm and reassuring… a perfect combination. The activities were really well chosen and although there were lots of separate groups all following the same programme, we never felt like we were on a conveyor belt…. We had a fun day out, and the camp and buffet at the end was excellent quality with relaxing activities like shisha and henna painting to enjoy if you wanted. To be honest, the quality and variety of the day, with prompt and seamless pick up and drop off its really a wonder the operator can make any money on it! Totally recommended whether you are along-standing guest in Dubai, or a short term visitor.
One of the best desert safaris I had
Olga_S, Jan 2024
