Fantastic time in the desert - During my vacation, I had a fantastic experience. It all started with the guide, Imran, picking me up from the hotel. The various activities, food options, and the overnight stay at the camp all added to the overall experience. Imran was polite, courteous, and very informative throughout the entire time. The staff at Al Khayma Camp were also excellent. The highlight of the night was the show. The bathrooms and showers were also clean, and the tent had an AC, which was a big plus. To end the experience, we had a sunrise camel trek and enjoyed a delicious Arabic breakfast before returning to the hotel. This activity is highly recommended for anyone visiting Dubai.

An absolute must with OceanAir. Only the best !! - What a trip ! This is a must and the guys at OceanAir will cater for you extremely well. We’re a family of 4 and booked this in July ‘24, not knowing what we would encounter. We had excellent communication from the team, noting that the money wouldn’t be deducted until two days before our date, allowing for full cancellation if chosen, then after the money was transferred again good communication to confirm arrangements, inc point for collection, etc. The trip itself was perfect. We were picked up within 5mins of our allocated time (considering traffic, etc) and made our way out to the desert, initially stopping at a quad and buggy venue. Whilst this wasn’t included in the package there was no hard selling, despite us deciding to participate which was fab !! Afterwards was a relax in an air conditioned room with plenty of soft drinks, water and tea / coffee ……. This was a repeating theme … you’ll certainly not have to ask for a drink, there’s an abundance (obviously no alcohol) Afterwards Dune bashing in Toyota / Nissan 4x4’s …. This again was fantastic and any fears about motion sickness from me or the family weren’t realised as the drivers are very experienced. I’m sure if you’d prefer something a little less they’d accommodate. Then moving onto the camp …… beautiful and well maintained. The food is great and there’s plenty of Arabian / Moroccan selections. My youngest is a fussy eater and she had no qualms about the food. Entertainment again is good and if you stay there’s a little unwind time before youre shown to your tent, which is air conditioned and set out perfectly. Up at 5am for sunrise tops off your experience. All in all this was one of the highlights to our holiday this year and certainly worth the effort and great value. I hope you enjoy the same experience as we did ….. well done and thanks to all the OceanAir team …. Particularly Ramzan … great guy.

One of the best experiences ever! You can’t miss it! - It is so worth a try to spend a night in the camp. The morning camel ride is awesome because your camel is riding you to the most beautiful sunrise with friendly and helpful guides! Love it so much! What’ better, you don’t have to worry about drinking water, shower, electricity and safety. Everything you need is provided! The only thing you have to concern about is you will be fed too full!

Amazing Experience - Our experience of sand washing in the desert was fantastic, thanks to Mansoor Manz! He taught us a lot about the history and culture of the UAE and Dubai during his journey. Mansoor also took many wonderful desert photos for us. His first-class driving skills gave us the perfect sand-rushing experience. Highly Recommended.

Service and food great, stay, not so much - The service and food was exceptional. I just wished everything didn't close so early at 9pm. We got there around 6 and was in the bed around 9:30 due to the camp closing at 9.
