Our trip to the desert was fun and our driver Abid from OceanAir travels could not have been more helpful and polite and an excellent driver in the sand. We tried the Camel ride, Sisha, sand boarding and seen the Eagles and the dancing and food at the camp. Also opportunity for seeing the stars and sunset pictures in the desert. The dunes ride was fun also.

This tour was so brilliantly organised. Our tour guide was incredibly experienced and took to the dunes like a pro! The dinner was delicious and staff were very friendly. Great way to experience the desert, dining, entertainment and culture all in one tour.

have been to many desert experiences in Dubai. This one was the most expensive, but it was by far the absolute best. The fire show was even better than ones I've seen in Hawaii. And the food was over the top!! And our driver, Sheriff was great.
