Amazing experience! Thank you SHERIF! - I went on a desert safari where we rode camels and experienced the most incredible tour — it was truly above and beyond, so much better and more than I ever expected. All the tour guides were amazing, but Sherif was my guide, and he made the experience so much better. He is extremely detail-oriented, kind, supportive, and funny. He genuinely cares about making sure everyone feels comfortable and has the best possible time. Sherif made sure to take pictures of me, helped with everything we needed, and paid attention to even the smallest details to make the experience unforgettable. The food, the show, and the entire experience were unbelievably great. Everything was perfectly organized. Thank you, Sherif, for turning this into such an incredible memory. I will never forget this experience.

Wonderful desert experience - We had a great time with a safe and caring driver. We had the chance to buy breakfast before we entered the desert. The driver took wonderful family photos and is very experienced with desert tours. Wonderful morning!!!

Great day dune bashing - An excellently organised trip with a nice responsible driver. Great experience we would definitely recommend this although the sand boarding is a little strenuous for those of us of a certain age!! It great going down the hill but getting back up is another matter. The food and show in the night desert where very good overall excellent day

Great tour in Abu Dhabi - Dune blasting and sand sledding were so much fun! The dinner was a great ending to a fun evening. I felt safe as a solo female traveler and appreciated small group size in each vehicle.

Five stars safari tour - Amazing safari in the desert. A very well organized tour by Oceanair Travel. But above all with a very professional tour guide Hamza. Very kind and sympatic, very good driver on the dunes and on the road as well 😉.

Amazing Desert Safari Experience - This was such a magical experience for the whole family. We loved every minute of this desert safari. Our driver Humza made this experience even more magical. He helped us take some amazing pictures which we will cherish for life. He is such a kind man and very helpful. Thank you!!

Ok but not seven hours - This ‘seven hour’ desert safari returned us almost exactly five and a half hours after we were picked up. It’s unfortunate that there is a lie in the title because otherwise it was quite good fun. Reasonable value for money. Nothing special, does what it advertises and is well organised. Our host/driver was very quiet but friendly and looked after us well. It’s surprising to see an overwhelming number of excellent ratings, for us it was somewhere between average and good.

I wouldn't do it again. - we were very disappointed, already the tour lasted 5h30 and not 7 as written, groups of maximum 8 people but then there are 15 groups in the same place, a horde of people in the desert. There is no time to enjoy anything, you stop for a moment to look at the view that the guide calls you and it is also rude if you do not go immediately. the camel ride is literally a ride (8m diameter circle), there are three camels for all the groups that are there, you see they suffer so much dinner was good and the show was nice, but I wouldn't do it again as an activity

Over-marketed for what it was - The ride from the hotel included two stops to pickup two other couples. What should have been a 45-50 minute ride took over 90 minutes. There was a lot of waiting around. The camel rides were very brief and the atv guide makes you stay in a single file line and your cannot veer off course or go fast. The sandboarding was on a very small hill which made it difficult to gain much speed so wasn’t quite worth the hype. After the activities were done, you gave a lot of men trying to sell you smoothies, souvenirs, and your name written in Arabic. From there, more waiting around. We did the midday tour and the whole day ran late so be mindful when booking as you’ll likely be late for anything you have planned that evening. The ride into base camp for the BBQ was rough through the deserts. We waited for over an hour in the heat for food with little to no communication on what was happening. The food was delicious at the time but my husband had good poisoning and spent the remainder of our trip in and out of the bathroom.
