Very enjoyable - Arsi, our guide, collected us on time from hotel, was cheerful and informative the whole trip, with the add on of some humour for good measure. The early morning trip perfectly suited our needs to see the dunes, dessert flora and fauna, the breakfast was really good with lots of food variety, the al marmoom bedouin experience was great, so much so we'd love to come back, stay there and enjoy the experience further. Arsi dropped us back to hotel and made the morning trip really enjoyable and fun.

A great day away from the city! - We were the only ones on this tour so it ended up being a private tour which was great. Our guide Ozzy was fantastic - what a great personality. Really enjoyed the camel ride and the traditional Bedouin breakfast! There was a ton of food - more than we could eat. The ride through the reserve in the SUV was fun too and quite scenic but animal sightings of any kind are very far and few between so don't expect a safari-type experience with animals everywhere. The ride is a bit rough at times but nothing like the other 'dune bashing' adventure tours where you read about people getting sick. It was really nice to get out of the city and do something different. I would definitely recommend!

A wildlife tour to remember - Arsi was an incredible guide! He knew all of the great locations to get photos. Sadly we missed out on the Arabian Oryx, but we saw many Gazelle and dozens of bird species!

Fabulous Oceanair Morning Desert Safari - Our primary guide Qadir was absolutely great. On time picking us up, responsive, informative, very friendly and continually asked our preferences. He really looked after us. And he was a great driver 😂. Pre-event communication and logistics was perfect and very helpful. Everyone involved at Oceanair and at the Al Marmoon Oasis were fantastic. The Falconer at the Oasis was so friendly and helpful with our time and photos with the falcon. And I can't say enough about our camel lead. He clearly loves his camels and was absolutely amazing in getting us on and off the camels, taking us for a great ride in pretty high heat, and taking the time to take amazing videos and photos of us all on the camels. He was a master at that and worked amazingly hard to do it all perfectly in such high heat. He worked really hard!!!! Thank you. And the breakfast prepared was great a d air conditioned! ,So thank you to the chef! I'm sorry I forgot all the names, except for Qadir, so I hope they receive this feedback. They were all great! And finally, I just wanted to say the itinerary and its length was perfect for my wife and I. Not too short nor too long. I highly recommend Oceanair and their tours, without reservation!!!

Very nice, entertaining and well planned - We were the only guests on a Tuesday morning and went for camel ride, beduin breakfast and a safari tour in a traditional car. As it wasn’t the first tour that we have experienced so far, we were very surprised of the quality and the friendliness of the staff. Especially Arslan, our tour guide, was very lovely, caring and entertaining. We will definitely come back for other activities asap 👌🏽 Thank you Arslan & team!
