Hassan Rauf was a fantastic host. He was intelligent, kind and extremely knowledgable. He was very safe in practice when it came to the quad bikes, extremely informative and helpful with his knowledge of the UAE. He made the trip so worthwhile! Would definitely recommend.

Juliet_K, Jul 2026
Great tour! Booked after reading the reviews and it was definitely worth it. Great value for money, food was well catered and overall the activities were well planned experiences. Consider wearing closed shoes, the sand burned my feet it was soo hot doing sand boarding. Abdullah Faiz our guide was exceptional, he made our tour unforgettable.
Shaera_M, Jul 2026
This was such a bomb experience. Worth it. You should definitely book if you are thinking about it for real
H_W, Jul 2026
The entire trip was very well organized. Both the hotel pickup and the return transfer went smoothly and everything was perfectly on time.
Our tour guide, TAYMOUR, was very friendly, helpful, and explained everything clearly throughout the tour. Before arriving at the camp, we went quad biking, which was a lot of fun and one of the highlights of the experience.
The camp itself was beautiful and well organized. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed it. The evening shows were okay, although we had expected a little more from the performances.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we would definitely recommend this tour to others. A special thank you again to our guide, TAYMOUR, for making the trip so enjoyable :)
Dominique_T, Jul 2026
This was a great experience for the whole family! Taymour was our guide. He was attentive to every question or concern we had. Pick up and drop off were seamless and stress free. Definitely worth every cent!
Juan_F, Jul 2026
One of the best tours in all of Dubai. We were gifted with Taymour as our guide, he was amazing! Amazing tour, amazing people.
Thank you - Mashallah!
Krystal_M, Jul 2026

Roberto_M, Jul 2026
Fantastic. I would hoghly reccomend it.
Driver very knowledge... well done.
Car very clean and all smelled well.
Jim_E, Jul 2026
Was worried that a full day experience will leave me wanting to leave early, but that was not the case at all with this tour. From the time they picked us up to the time they dropped us off was a five star experience. We wrote ATVs, camels, had a desert Dune ride that was thrilling, did sand boarding, and had a great evening dinner with entertainment. For the price of this tour we really got a lot of value. I would recommend this to anyone.
Kirsten_L, Jul 2026
Hassan Rauf was our guide and he was fantastic. He shared great information on the drive and took fabulous photos for us. You really get so much for the $$. I went into it thinking that there would be extra charges for henna, the camel ride, the falcon interaction, etc., but there wasn't. The food was great and plentiful and the light show was magnificent. So many wonderful memories and photos to remember them. My only complaint was that they put us together with 2 men for the car ride as well as the meal, which was a little awkward as I was traveling with my 2 teens.
Anthony_S, Jul 2026
One of the best days of my life - recommend this experience to everyone in Dubai. Good value for money
Jodie_W, Jul 2026
This is an AMAZING experience. Our guide, Taymour, made it a great day. He was attentive and kind and went out of his way to take great photos and videos for us while we were on the quad bikes and camels. We loved the BBQ and the shows and all the staff throughout the day went out of their way to make it a great and welcoming experience. OceanAir was great and Taymour is #1.
Tamara_E, Jul 2026
Amazing package!! Beautiful and fun experience. Service was excellent, the team were so kind and accommodating. The food, fireshow, ambiance was 10/10. Great value and worth your time. You won't be disappointed
Sue_R, Jul 2026
Excellent experience made even better by our extremely personal and knowledgeable guide Ericson. A definite need to do when you are visiting Dubai.
Jennifer_L, Jun 2026
This tour was fantastic! All that is included is well worth the price. The time you get to spend in the village after the ATV ride is wonderful. I suggest doing this in the afternoon. So many amazing guides to help at any point of the trip.
The dinner has amazing food and is worth the price of the ticket alone!
You get everything advertised and more.
Assan_B, Jun 2026
An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! One of the best surprises was that our group consisted of only five people, which made the whole tour feel much more personal and relaxed.
A special thank you to our guide, Hassan Rauf, who was exceptional throughout the day. He was attentive, friendly, and constantly made sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. His professionalism and genuine care really elevated the experience.
The highlight for us was definitely the quad bike ride across the red dunes - an unforgettable activity and so much fun! The entire tour was well organised, and the desert scenery, camp experience, and BBQ dinner were all excellent.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dubai. Thank you, Hassan, for making it such a memorable day! 😊
Zarli_C, Jun 2026
This was by far the best thing we've done in Dubai and I couldn't recommend it more highly. The quad biking was an absolute highlight and so much fun. Our tour guide Erikson was fantastic and really made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.
The desert camp was beautiful, and the dinner and live show provided such an amazing cultural experience. The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was incredible. Everything was well organised and exceeded our expectations. If you're visiting Dubai, this is a must do experience!
Cindy_C, May 2026
We had a blast.. you won’t regret it. I was worried about so much time in the heat, but with travel time and they way they take care of everything it wasn’t an issue.
Luca_R, May 2026

We had an amazing experience on this desert adventure with our family! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and truly exceeded our expectations.
The ATV and bagu ride across the red dunes was an absolute highlight, so much fun and a great thrill for both adults and the kid. The camel ride gave us a nice taste of traditional desert life, and the entire setting felt authentic and beautifully arranged.
The evening at the camp was just fantastic. The atmosphere, the activities, and especially the BBQ dinner were all top quality. Stargazing in the desert was the perfect way to end the day, peaceful and unforgettable.
The staff and guides were friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the experience. Special thanks for our tour guide Abdallah Faiz.
Fernen_T, Apr 2026

Regina_L, Apr 2026
From start to finish, this was an incredible experience. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and took the time to answer every question we had. The ATV adventure paired with camel riding was an absolute blast, and the food at the camp was outstanding — generous portions of the most delicious dishes. Highly recommend!!
MARCE_K, Apr 2026
Not sure why I took too long in giving this review but it just reminded me of what an awesome time we as a family had. The tour guide was amazing! The experience is worth every penny and I want to go back one day to experience it at night, such a magical experience. Food was amazing, hookas, desserts, coffee, drinks! All of it.
