5.00We had a wonderful time on this tour! It was so refreshing to be out and see the beauty of the desert, meet & ride some camels, and enjoy the coffee, tea, and breakfast. Saeed (our guide & driver) was very knowledgeable and told us all about the the different things we passed on our drive out to the desert and went out of the way to swing by the beautiful Flamingo Lake for us to get some pictures there too. We also greatly appreciated Aziz (our camel guide), he was a great photographer, we handed him our phone and he took tons of pictures of us interacting with the camels. It was a lot of fun! We saw several groups of gazelles on our way there too. The drive out to the desert was in a comfortable vehicle, there was plenty of water offered along the way and the food was delicious! It could have been nice to learn a little bit more about how people lived and sourced food & water in the desert back in the day, but it was a wonderful experience overall and I'd highly recommend it. We even asked how old our kids would need to be before we could bring them to ride the camels (4 years old was the answer!).

5.00That was a beautiful morning with sunrise and breakfast in the desert. The guide, the camel guide and the innkeeper were extremely friendly, the guide told a lot about the country and people. Getting up a little earlier as recommended by the guide was really worth it. Amazing how many birds there are in the oasis. I could ride the camel, hold the falcon and pet it, the Bedouin food was excellent. Even the sanitary facilities are top.

5.00Al Marmoom Oasis safari experience A great morning out in the desert! Our day started with a private transfer from our hotel to the conservation site in the desert just after 7am. Our driver, Ramish from OceanAir travels, chatted with us on the way about Dubai and what to expect at the experience. Once we arrived at the location, the activities were well organised and timely. The team were attentive and did a great job. We had a short camel ride, held a falcon, ate breakfast in a tent and tried traditional dress. Then we went for a drive in the desert nearby to the camp to enjoy the scenery and to see if there were any animals about. Riding on the camel was certainly a highlight of our whole trip to Dubai and it was obvious that Nieman, the camel was well looked after by his caretaker, Zaheer. Driving along in the jeep with Ramish was also great fun with him telling us about the area, answering questions and taking many photos for us. This is a perfect experience for people who want a taster of different activities in an area specifically designed for this. Thank you to Ramish, Zeheer and the rest of the team at Al Marmoom, we really enjoyed ourselves.
Fun with the family in a very pleasant environment with a top guide: Lucky!

5.00Exceptional! Perfect organization. The day before you receive a message via WhatsApp with all the information necessary to best face the experience. The guide is punctual and very kind: his name is Lucky. He answered all our curiosities. The oasis is spotless (including the toilets). The camel ride was very fun and safe. The breakfast under the tent was delicious and super abundant! Take lots of photos even with traditional clothes (even the very clean ones). A trip to recommend to families with children.

5.00Our guide Arsi really made this trip spectacular. He was so attentive and always made sure we had everything that we needed but more importantly that we were having fun while being safe. At one point my battery was dying for my phone and he went out of his way to find me a charger to use. Over the top customer experience. I would highly recommend this excursion, it’s absolutely worth it. They offer so much for the price you pay. Arsi will also give you interesting insight about Dubai while driving to the excursion. Awesome time!
Great day out, everyone should experience this awesome adventure.
