Fabulous! - This a 5 star+ excursion and so worth it. Second time I’ve done this in Dubai now with my son and we love every minute. The driver and guide was superb. The camel ride, safari, sunset, food, entertainment etc was all to the highest standard. If you want a beautiful experience I can certainly recommend this!

Evening Heritage Safari in Vintage G-Class Mercedes - wonderful - Fabulous trip. Highly recommended even if initial communication poor. First recommendation - book direct with OceanAir. They are the operators at Al Marmoom so you are booking direct. At our hotel (One&Only Royal Mirage) there was an office selling the same trip at double the price and people were paying that. Still not cheap at £775 for the two of us but we went exclusive at the same price others were paying to share. Second recommendation - go for the exclusive option so it is just you and your partner in the vehicle. That made it such a personal, special experience. We went at our pace, saw all we wanted and more and were treated like royalty throughout. Won't spoil the tour by going into detail but it involved camel riding, trips over sand dunes at sensible speeds, a Arabic meal in a private "tent" and evening entertainment. We went back to our hotel very happy. Only negative was the poor communication when we booked on line - no confirmation of any sort without chasing which made us feel we had been defrauded. But all was well and from the moment we were contacted by our actual guide to give us his pick up time (and he arrived early), all went very well indeed. Big shout out to our guide, Imran Khan, who looked after us at all times and went over and above what we could have expected. That made our tour very special. Many thanks Imran.

Spectacular and memorable - It was a marvellous experience. We really enjoyed seeing the birds and various animals. The drive through the sand dunes was great with many spectacular views of the desert. Our guide was very helpful and very knowledgeable about everything. He did a fantastic job looking after us. The meal and village experience at the end of the tour added a special touch to what was a great outing - something that we cherish and always remember

Good taste of the desert. - Decent activities and organization. Would be better have longer camel ride. Staff took nice pictures for us at sunset. Experience quite expensive for what we got but still good overall.

Tour company was a NO SHOW! - Worst experience we’ve ever had. We sat for an hour at the designated pickup point with a NO SHOW from the company. We messaged the tour company relentlessly once we realized that no one had approached us, but did not receive a response. We have filed for a refund, but are not even sure if the tour company will acknowledge their error.
