5.00We were in layover at Dubai for 24 hours and wanting to do something while we were here. One of my family recommended to do a Desert Safari experience. So I looked online and managed to book a Half-day Desert Safari which was very easy and straightforward and the price was very affordable. Tour Guide Mr Usman picked us up from our hotel and took us to one of the most amazing experience ever!!! Our Tour Guide Mr Usman was very helpful, funny, friendly and informative on what activities we were doing for the day. From holding Falcon, Dune Bashing, sand boarding, Camel rides and also refreshments and the views of the sand dunes at sunset was a truly a spectacular and unforgettable experience organised by Al Marmoom Oasis by OceanAir team 😎😎 Will definitely do this again and recommend my family and friends!!! ☺️Thank you one again to Mr Usman and Al Marmoom Oasis by OceanAir for everything 👍🏽👍🏽
