Must See In Dubai - Ramish was the best tour guide ever!!! Such a fun and authentic experience. Got to ride camels, eat local cuisine, tour the desert, wear traditional clothing, and even watch a dance and fire show and a falcon show. This 6 hour excursion was the best thing my wife and I could have asked for, it was priceless. Recommend to anyone who wants an unforgettable experience!

An amazing experience to be remembered - This was one of the highlights of our trip to Dubai. The entire tour was an experience to be remembered. We were picked up from our hotel in a nice car by our guide, Ozzy. It was only 3 of us in the car so it was a pretty personalized trip. Ozzy explained us several things about Dubai and UAE in general, which was a great intro to the tour. We were then taken to the main camp, where the camel ride took place. We fed the camels too. Also took some photos with falcons. There were coolers with water and soft drinks everywhere, so there's no need for you to take any water with you. We then went to the natural reserve using the vintage car, and saw several gazelles along the way. Ozzy explained us everything about the reserve, the gazelles, etc. After that, to the desert dunes. My mom and I were a bit concerned over this part since she has some back issues, but the trip is very manageable and she had no issues whatsoever. Ozzy was also careful when driving so it worked out great! Ozzy took several pictures and videos of us in the dunes. He knows how to get the best angles, when to take videos, and how to make the best of the time in there. We ended up with a bunch of stuff to pick and publish on social networks and/or to keep for ourselves. We then headed to the falcon show which was also great! We were explained how the locals started using the falcons as part of their life and how the falcon has become a symbol of UAE. More amazing pictures and videos were taken here too! We were then taken back to the camp where we had an amazing dinner which, just by remembering, makes me want go back. It was a lot of food and everything was delicious. We were attended here by Zaheer, who was super polite, helpful and all around nice! There were some traditional outfits in the tents behind us and Zaheer took a bunch of pictures of us in these outfits. He knows all the good poses, the good spots, etc. And we ended up with even more pictures to choose from! Finally there were 4 shows. 2 traditional dances, a horse show and a fire show. These were all captivating and we were able to sit in a good place to see them. At the end of the night, Ozzy took us back to our hotel. He was amazing during the entire day and made the whole experience very enjoyable. In conclusion, the tour is very worth it and would definitely recommend!

Great Safari experience with fantastic dinner in an amazing atmosphere - We had a perfect Safari experience with an amazingly delicious and rich 6 course dinner. Both, camel riding (her name was Sonia😉) and the ride through the dunes with an old G Class Mercedes was so much fun and certainly a better and more comfortable choice than a standard safari tour. Special thanks to our guide RAMISH who accompanied us the whole afternoon, drove us through the dunes and finally brought us back to the hotel safely 👍

Great experience and a great tour with Ramish as guide - An exclusive tour with unforgettable moments! Great food, very friendly staff and a great guide! Ramish informed us about everything and drove brilliantly. From the pick-up to the return trip to the hotel, everything went smoothly. I can only recommend this tour to everyone. We had the camp to ourselves and were able to ride camels in peace. 5 stars for Ramish and his colleagues!

Desert Safari - The excursion was beautiful and a chance to see the other beauties of your country. Was looking forward to this tour and wasn’t disappointed. Ramish our tour guy was a source or local knowledge, honest in his answers, friendly and joked around making us feel very comfortable. The camel ride was lots of fun as was the desert drive over the dunes in the 4x4. The food was amazing as were the shows. Up and personal with the falcons was a treat. I would recommend this tour and Ramish made it even better. Good job 👍

Best safari in the Oasis - That was a great experience! Well-organised, delicious and fun. We’ve done so many activities such as jeep safari, camel riding, falcon show, dinner and fire show. Many thanks to our brilliant guide Ramish, who not only ran us through the desert but became our real trip mate with good sense of humor, wonderful songs and interesting facts. The falcon show was amazing!
