Great experience overall. Out guide, Abdullah Karem was really helpful. Everything was arranged for us. Great shows and delicious food. We highly recommend this company.
We had a fantastic guide and it was a very fun and comfortable experience. There were moments that were very exciting as well as calm and quiet moments.
Abdallah Faiz was great! We had such a fun and lovely day. Lots of activities and information about the UAE and traditions. Quad biking was fun and the camp we visited was super interesting.
From the moment Abduullah Fiaz picked us up from the hotel, he talked us through the plan for the day, explaining everything step by step and making sure we knew what to expect.
The quad biking was first, and he guided us around the sand dunes the whole way, making it such a great experience. We then arrived at the second part of our trip, where he clearly explained everything that was included.
The food, entertainment and overall experience were absolutely fantastic and worth every penny! The whole day was so well organised, and the value for money was brilliant.
We would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for an amazing experience. Thank you, Abduullah, for making our day so enjoyable! ⭐️
Karem was our guide for the day and he was fantastic. Attentive and informative and kept communication from start to finish. Highly recommend the package. Good value for money with plenty of activities. The food was excellent!
Amazing desert safari experience! The ATV ride was definitely my favorite part. Our guide, Karem, was absolutely fantastic! He was extremely helpful, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. He took lots of great photos and videos of us and kept us entertained with good conversations throughout the trip. The camel ride and camp dinner were also enjoyable. Highly recommend this experience, especially with Karem as your guide!
Me and my partner booked a tour to Al khayama camps our guide was very helpful and friend we have a fabulous experience with Karen we recommend him to everyone. Thank you once again
Insane value of fun with very helpful staff (Shout-out to Lucky and the others) Unforgettable experience for sure!
Excellent throughout. Highlight was the quad biking, and the food, and Karem was a really friendly guide.
Its a fantastic tour that everyone should make it ....and specifically the evening tour with spectacular show included when you opt for the night show....Karen was the fantastic tour guide with lots of personal attention..
Enjoyed very much, lots of fun. Nomi was very good guide, and made sure we were taken care of and took great photos.
Booked this experience for my birthday. And it was the best day ever. It did not disappoint. Lucky our tour guide made the whole trip. He was so helpful and lovely! Anyone who has him for their trip will be very LUCKY!!
Nomi
The experience was amazing! 🏜️✨ We really enjoyed the desert safari, camel riding, and the fireworks show. The food was delicious, and everything was well organized. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this experience! ❤️
First and foremost we would like to extend our greatest gratitude to Arslan our tour guide for the exceptional experience. Had so much fun riding the dune buggies in the red sand desert. From camel rides to traditional foods and seats to the night time show, we truly had the time of our lives. We made new friends and experiences to last a lifetime. A smile on our faces days after remembering our experiences.
A MUST!
Absolutely fantastic day. Dune buggy experience, 4WD experience, sand boarding, dinner, camel ride, henna tattoo, eagle experience, and 4 amazing shows. Spectacular
Ebaid and Lucky were out guides were provided excellent service on an unforgettable adventure. This was a great way to see the red dunes and experience more Emiratie culture. We paid for the dune buggy upgrade which was well worth it. Beware this is a long hot and sandy tour.
An absolutely unforgettable Arabian desert adventure, made truly extraordinary by Hassan Rauf! From the exhilarating dune buggy ride to the magnificent Arabian horses and spectacular falcon show, every moment was magical. But what made this experience exceptional was Hassan Rauf’s warmth, professionalism, outstanding driving, and genuine hospitality. He went above and beyond to make us feel like royalty, turning an already incredible adventure into a true VIP experience. His attention to detail and sincere dedication to our happiness were simply unmatched. True luxury is not just about the experience, but how someone makes you feel, and Hassan Rauf made us feel incredibly special. If you’re visiting Dubai, request Hassan Rauf by name. He is an absolute gem and the embodiment of Arabian hospitality. Five stars simply aren’t enough!
From the minute Hassan picked us up, we have been completely amazed. The tour was very well organized, every step was thought of and our needs cared for. ABSOLUTELY MUST DO IF YOU COME TO DUBAI. OceanAir is a very professional operator. We feel like we experienced so much of the Emirate culture in just a few hours. The car was brand new and air conditioned. All the experiences were safe and the food DELICIOUS. Hassan is the best guide!!!!a truly once in a lifetime Unforgettable experience.
Had an amazing experience throughout and our Guide Hassan Rafu made this activity so fantastic he was very polite and humble . He guided so nicely and briefly each and everything. Thanks once again
Great half day excursion full of all the desert activities I wanted to try (sand boarding, dune bashing, 4 wheeling, camel riding), good food with vegetarian options, and fun entertainment like shows and smaller activities. Roundtrip transportation was included, and my driver, Nadeem, was friendly and a great photographer! There were lots of vendors along the way which could be overwhelming, but the products they were offering were at least good. Overall, this was a great way to spend a Dubai stopover!
Wonderful excursion, made even better with our tour guide, Lucky. Would definitely recommend to all.
Abdallah Faiz very good guide. Would definitely recommend. Very friendly and helpful. Great food also at the camp
The experience was a 10/10. Everything was amazing, i would book this a million times over. Karem was the best tour guide, he was very informative and made sure the day went smoothly!
It was so good! I especially enjoyed the quads, camels, super tasty BBQ and surreal fire show. Our guide was Abdallah Faiz and he was very helpful with pickup and explaining the whole experience.
Our driver, Shah, was great - on time, friendly, and knowledgeable - and the quads and dinner were both excellent, but we were somewhat underwhelmed by the entertainment.
Gul was our driver and guide throughout the day. He was very helpful, informative and a great person for the job. He gave us everything we needed for our fun filled day! His enthusiasm and kindness definitely made the trip and we can’t thank him enough.
Big up to GUL!!!!!! Cheers

Karem was an amazing guide for the day and the experience was second to none being picked up from the hotel, doing atv’s in the desert followed by a incredible night time experience with food, camel riding, holding an eagle and some traditional Arabic performances. Karem was very knowledgeable and despite some challenging additional travellers, went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a fantastic experience.
