Desert - one love 💚 - What an incredible experience I had! Siddik - our safari captain - has showed us that the red dunes of the Dubai Desert can be conquered not only by 4x4 riding, but also by quad biking, sandboarding and even riding camels. The Al Khayma desert camp was the best chance to explore Bedouin activities, enjoy a sunset Arabian dinner, welcome sweets, as well as Tanoura and Belly dance shows. Everyone should definitely try to go on a Desert Safari with OceanAir Travels while in Dubai!

Dubai Desert safari - Short stay in Dubai as a stopover, looked at options and picked the desert safari; glad we did as both of us had a brilliant time. Paid extra and had a go at the quads at the 1st stop which was fun. Then some dune bashing with screams included from 2 young girls in our jeep. We also had a quick dress up in local clothing at the start for some photos including with the peregrine falcon. Evening finished with the lights being turned off to gaze at the stars before our return to the hotel. Our guide Yasir was brilliant chatting away with local knowledge/information and also taking a lot of photos for us. He was really friendly and nothing was too much trouble when asked. Both of us had a great trip and would highly recommend it, well worth it 👍🐪🏝️

Adventure! - What a great day it was. Me and my bestfriend who is visiting Dubai had so much fun. The package is so worth it. So many exciting activities. It will really exceed your expectation. I like the overall service. Foods, shows etc. Most of all i wanna commend our driver/tour guide - YASIR. He is very accomodating and professional. You will really know that he knows what he is doing. Also, i like his good HUMOR. I think that’s the trait that everyone working in this industry should posses, and Yasir has it. Till next time! I will recommended this tour to my family and friends!
