Must try when in Dubai - We were picked up promptly at our hotel by our friendly and helpful driver, Imran. The first stop was ATV but we didn’t participate in it as it was too hot. Next was dune bashing followed by sandboarding. Imran was very patient and helpful with assisting us with sandboarding and encouraging us to try the stand up sandboarding, as well as helping us to take photos to capture the wonderful memories. The evening experience at the camp started off with a camel ride followed by an opening show and then a buffet. The food was absolutely delicious. It was a great experience eating and watching the show in the desert camp. We stayed overnight and really enjoyed the night activity. Hakeem is the best - he was very knowledgeable and passionate about explaining the moon and stars to us. We had grilled corn and the softest sweet potato and gave a shot at shisha while we gazed at the moon and stars and enjoyed the peaceful and cool desert environment. The sunrise and camel ride the next morning was really nice and the breakfast was so good - we really loved the emirati pancake and falafel! Overall, it was a great and fun experience and I would highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic!!! - My family and I decided to do the Overnight Desert Safari with OceanAir Travels and we have zero regerets as they were absolutely fantastic! We had a private tour guide named Mansoor Manz who was brilliant from start to finish. He gave us an in depth history lesson about Dubai and it's culture which was very informative. His Dune Bashing skills were impeccable too! We had a disabled person with us (walks with the aid of a crutch) and Mansoor made sure they were comfortable all throughout the day, even making sure our tent was located the closest to the wash facilities for our overnight stay. He then kindly handed us over to his colleague Marwan who took over the night shift. He was also very friendly and accomodating and even came to our tent late at night as we had trouble turning our air con off. The gentleman who gave the history lesson on the solar system (sorry I didn't get your name) was also very helpful, informative and extremely funny. Everyone, down to the women making the bread and the men making the Arabic tea all deserve 5 stars. The activities, stalls, food and entertainment was brilliant too. Overall, our experience with OceanAir Travels was a solid 10/10 and I will be recommending them to family and friends.

Highlight of our Amazing Dubai Vacation - This was the highlight of our trip to Dubai. My wife and son both said this was their favorite activity. My son, 24, loved the dune bashing the best. My wife's favorite was the star gazing and Hakeem was so knowledgeable plus he was more than willing to socialize with the whole group it made it memorable. I can't get away from mentioning Imran as the best guide of any tour I have taken. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and the best dune bashing driver! Loved this trip and you will too; it was more than worth it.

A Magical Desert Experience - We had an unforgettable desert tour with Mansoor Manz! He was extremely attentive and meticulous, making sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We experienced incredible activities like sandboarding, thrilling dune bashing, and spent the night at the stunning Al Khayma camp. There, we enjoyed delicious traditional food, watched amazing live shows, and relaxed under a sky full of stars. We also smoked shisha, drank Arabic coffee and tea, and ended the experience with a peaceful sunrise camel ride. Thanks to Mansoor, every moment was perfectly planned and truly memorable. Highly recommended!
